An Iowa state senator became the first elected Republican to leave the party over Donald Trump's presidential nomination. "I haven't supported Mr. Trump at any point along the way but what I am calling his racist remarks and judicial jihad is the last straw," David Johnson told The Guardian. Trump has been under fire from his fellow Republicans over his continuous attacks leveled toward Judge Gonzalo Curiel, a Mexican-American judge presiding over fraud lawsuits against Trump University. Johnson also compared Trump's rise to that of Adolf Hitler, saying "certainly the fascists took control of Germany under the same types of strategies."
