Congressman David Jolly, a Republican U.S. Senate candidate, has called on Donald Trump to quit his presidential bid after the GOP front-runner said all Muslims should be banned from entering the U.S.
In a speech in the House floor this morning, Rep. Jolly said, “It is time that my side of the aisle has one less candidate in the race for the White House.”
Yesterday Trump called for the United States to bar all Muslims from entering the country until the nation’s leaders can “figure out what is going on†after the terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, California.
“While ISIS is beheading innocent people for their religious practices, Trump is betraying our freedoms,†Jolly said on the House floor today. “His brutal, bullying bigotry runs contrary to the very principles our forefathers fought so hard to defend. We are either a party of protecting the constitution and religious liberties or we’re not. America should insist on a security test but never a religious test.â€
Rep. Jolly will be on News Talk 1370 WCOA’s “Pensacola Speaks” this afternoon at 5:30 p.m. to discuss this issue.
