Mike Lee to Donald Trump: Step Aside

Published



Following the release of a 2005 video in which Donald Trump made obscene comments about how he gropes women and might commit adultery, Utah senator Mike Lee called on Trump to step aside so that someone else could challenge Hillary Clinton.



“You yourself, sir, Mr. Trump, have stated repeatedly that the goal, the objective, has got to be to defeat Hillary Clinton in November. I couldn’t agree more. It is for precisely that reason, Mr. Trump, that I respectfully ask you, with all due respect, that you step aside. Step down. Allow someone else to carry the banner of these principles,” Lee says in a video posted on Facebook.
