In another interview with CNN, he said 'when he vacillated over the last week, especially over Charlottesville, I had come to the point where I had to make a decision to more than just step away. When you vacillate like that, it means that there's not a set of core values that you have determined to guide your thinking, your decision-making. Instead, it demonstrates that you are being tossed between opinions of those around you. And I've got a problem with that kind of lack of leadership."
