Embattled Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell lost a key ally Monday in conservative radio show host John Fredericks, who called for the Republican leader to step down.

Fredericks, the host of a self-titled radio show in Virginia on which McDonnell has frequently appeared, said the governor’s on-going scandal involving Virginia businessman Jonnie Williams has made a “trampling and mocking of the public trust.” He called on McDonnell to resign.
