Lindsey Graham Says He Won't Support Donald Trump

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of Donald Trump’s most vocal Republican critics, announced today that he would not support the presumptive GOP nominee in a general election.

Saying he also refused to vote for Hillary Clinton, Graham said, “I also cannot in good conscience support Donald Trump because I do not believe he is a reliable Republican conservative nor has he displayed the judgment and temperament to serve as Commander in Chief.”

The senior senator also said in the statement that he would not attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this summer.

Graham, who ended his own presidential bid in December, had previously, albeit begrudgingly, endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz as the only viable alternative to Trump.

But he had made his distaste with both candidates clear, saying repeatedly that choosing between Cruz and Trump was like “being shot or poisoned. What does it matter?”

Graham also said in his statement that he would focus on helping Republicans win other offices throughout the country.
