Former Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge said on Tuesday he won’t vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton for president.
“Every four years since my 18th birthday, I have pulled the lever in support of the Republican nominee for President of the United States,” wrote Ridge in an op-ed for Pennlive.com. “That streak will end this November.”
The long-time Republican said he is “disappointed that he is our party’s nominee.”
“With a bumper sticker approach to policy, his bombastic tone reflects the traits of a bully, not an American president and statesman,” he wrote. “If he cannot unite Republicans, how can he unite America? I simply cannot endorse him.”
“Similarly, I cannot support Hillary Clinton, a divisive and untrustworthy candidate who will advance and extend failed Obama policies that have greatly weakened our nation’s economy and security,” Ridge continued.
