David Jolly: Donald Trump Needs to Get Out of Presidential Race

U.S. Rep. David Jolly, R-Fla., who is running to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in the U.S. Senate in 2016, called on businessman Donald Trump to get out of the Republican presidential race after he called on banning immigrants from coming to the U.S. 

"While ISIS is beheading innocent people for their religious practices, Trump is betraying our freedoms," Jolly said in a statement released early Tuesday morning. "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."

 Jolly showcased his support of Congress passing  an Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) against Islamic State terrorism and called on other candidates to join his call for Trump to get out of the race. 

"Our national security is the only lens through which we should make decisions regarding the destruction of terror,” Jolly said. “But we can do so without fundamentally abandoning our most basic tenets of religious freedom. I am a born-again Christian who opposes any religious litmus test that defies everything we believe in."
