Former presidential candidate Evan McMullin has made it clear that he’s not a fan of Donald Trump or his administration, and what happened at the rally obviously did nothing to win over the former presidential candidate.
Tonight in Tennessee, Trump promotes the policies of white nationalism to chants of "USA! USA!" These are not the values of our nation.

McMullin sparked some head scratching:

Looking forward to the 2020 ticket of Chelsea/McMullin.
