House Republican backs Hillary Clinton, Calling Donald Trump "Unfit to serve"
Representative Richard Hanna of New York became the first Republican member of Congress to endorse Hillary Clinton for president.
Representative Richard Hanna, Republican of New York, broke ranks with his party to endorse Hillary Clinton for president on Tuesday, denouncing Donald J. Trumps attacks on the Muslim parents of a soldier killed in Iraq and calling Mr. Trump unfit to serve.
Mr. Hanna has long said he would not support Mr. Trump in the general election. By throwing his support to Mrs. Clinton, he becomes the first Republican member of Congress to go beyond disavowing Mr. Trump, and join forces with the Democrats against him.
I was stunned by the callousness of his comments, Mr. Hanna said. I think Trump is a national embarrassment. Is he really the guy you want to have the nuclear codes?
