Duncan Hunter: Trump's like the best home contractor, who also leaves beer cans everywherehttp://www.washingtonexaminer.com/duncan-hunter-trumps-like-the-best-home-contractor-who-also-leaves-beer-cans-everywhere/article/2593539Jacob Clarke • 6/9/16 11:42 PM
One of Donald Trump's top congressional backers said he knows Trump rubs a lot of people the wrong way, but to bear with him.
"It's like having the best home decorator in the world, but when he works on your house, he leaves beer cans around, he plays loud music, his pants aren't all the way up when he bends over, but he still is the best home remodeler in the world," Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., told Fox News Thursday. "That's what I want as president. I don't really care about Trump's personality."
Hunter, who was one of the first congressmen to endorse Trump and is one of the chairs of his congressional leadership committee, said he knows many Republicans are holding back on their support because of Trump's recent comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel's heritage. Hunter said he can separate Trump's personality from how he'll be as president, and others should do the same.
"This is not the last time that Donald Trump is going to say something that upsets a lot of people," Hunter said. "It's probably going to happen over and over again, so forget about it and realize that we're voting for someone as president, not to be your girlfriend or boyfriend or to hang out with you every day. It's to run the country."
