“Now more than ever, we can’t afford to have Donald Trump as our Republican nominee,” said Dogan. “If he’s the Republican nominee, I’m voting third party. I can’t do it.”

He also believes that Trump is a Democrat that he says is trying to pull a con on the Republican electorate.

Dogan, who’s a black conservative lawmaker, says Trump has refused to denounce the Ku Klux Klan and has quoted fascist leader Benito Mussolini.

Dogan said white supremacist David Duke is endorsing Trump for President.
