共和党联邦参议员苏珊·柯林斯说，她不会投票支持该党总统候选人川普。她说，川普不代表共和党的价值观或者这个国家所需要的“包容性的治理方法”。
柯林斯1996年当选联邦参议员，她在《华盛顿邮报》发表评论文章指出，她之所以认为川普不适合当总统，是基于他无视尊重他人的原则。
柯林斯说：“相反，他选择嘲笑弱势群体，通过攻击少数族裔和宗教少数派来煽动偏见。”
她还担心，川普一旦当选，他的“缺乏自制和一知半解的连番评论”会使世界变得更危险。
柯林斯说：“一个总统候选人对履行我们与盟国的条约义务公开提出质疑是非常鲁莽的行为。川普受到挑战时勃然大怒的倾向，也进一步加大了使争执危险失控的可能性。
川普的竞选班子星期一晚上没有对柯林斯参议员的话发表评论。
Republican Senator Susan Collins says she will not vote for the party's presidential nominee, Donald Trump, saying he does not represent Republican values or the "inclusive approach to governing" the country needs.
Collins, who was elected to the Senate in 1996, wrote in an opinion piece in The Washington Post that her view of Trump as unfit for the presidency is based on his disregard for the principle of treating other people with respect.
"Instead, he opts to mock the vulnerable and inflame prejudices by attacking ethnic and religious minorities," Collins said.
She also expressed worry that if elected Trump's "lack of self-restraint and his barrage of ill-informed comments" would make the world more dangerous.
"It is reckless for a presidential candidate to publicly raise doubts about honoring treaty commitments with our allies. Mr. Trump's tendency to lash out when challenged further escalates the possibility of disputes spinning dangerously out of control."
There was no comment from the Trump campaign Monday night about the senator's statement.
