Jason Chaffetz, a Republican congressman from Utah, announced Wednesday night that he will be voting for Donald Trump, after harshly condemning his party’s nominee just a few weeks ago. “I will not defend or endorse @realDonaldTrump, but I am voting for him. HRC is that bad. HRC is bad for the USA,” he said on Twitter. In the aftermath of a tape being released that revealed Trump bragging about groping women, Chaffetz said almost immediately “I’m out. I can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president.”
