Unable to Support ‘Misogynist’ Trump, Young Republicans National Federation Communications Chair, Katrina Elaine Jorgensen, Resigns
What a refreshing experience to read about a young lady, Katrina Elaine Jorgensen, with principles and values that she stands by. She knows the difference between right and wrong and decided to stand on the right side of history as it relates to supporting Trump. With young people like her out there I feel confident in the future of this nation. With young people like her we can look forward to Republicans, Democrats and Independents working together for the good of the country. I hope other leaders in the Republican Party were taught by their parents: You are judged by the company you keep!
According to ThinkProgress.org, disturbed about the nomination of Trump, Jorgensen announced her resignation from her position as communications chair of the Young Republicans National Federation.
With the practically fulfilled nomination of Donald Trump as our presidential candidate, I can no longer continue to carry out the duties of this position. My principles will not allow it,” Jorgensen wrote on Facebook. “There is no easy answer to the situation our party is in, but I believe we would do much more for our country by standing together against Donald Trump.”
“We have been told for years how we are the future of the party, this is our opportunity to seize that future,” she added. “But if we have instead decided to uphold a man who does not represent us or our views — a man that has belittled war heroes, explicitly stated misogynist beliefs, relied on intimidation of minorities, insulted our international allies, rewarded violence, championed divisive rhetoric and proved completely uneducated in conservative fiscal policy — I cannot participate in that.”
I believe we would do much more for our country by standing together against Donald Trump.
Alluding to Republicans like McConnell and Graham, Jorgensen added, “Many of you may choose to support Trump in order to beat Hillary Clinton, that is your decision. For me, I cannot support a candidate who endorses bigotry and lawlessness, with a minimal understanding of the fiscal policies long associated with our party, even if he does have an ‘R’ after his name.”
In life you have to stand for something or fall for anything. To Ms. Jorgensen I say– You Just Go Girl!
