Ridge said it is not the first time he has said “no” to President Donald Trump who, he wrote, “lacks the empathy, integrity, intellect and maturity to lead.”
Ridge formerly served as Homeland Security Secretary in the George W. Bush administration.
It’s time to put country over party. It’s time to dismiss Donald Trump.
