Chaffetz Ties Himself In Knots Arguing His Vote For Trump Isn't An Endorsement

[DonViejo]

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) on Thursday took pains to distinguish between announcing his vote for Donald Trump, endorsing the nominee and defending him, saying he would only vouch for his own vote until Nov. 8th.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked Chaffetz why he'd announced last week on Twitter that he would vote for Donald Trump, but not “defend” or “endorse” him.

“Everybody, think, is struggling with their own decision,” Chaffetz began. “I struggled with this. I am not going to endorse Donald Trump. I am not going to do that. I can't defend the comments that he made. But elections are tough decisions. At this point you have two people, and one of the two, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, will become the next president of the United States.”

Blitzer asked Chaffetz, who said he had already voted for Trump last week, to clarify why he had seemed to change his position since un-endorsing Trump on Oct. 7.
