“I’ve thought a lot about it. God has blessed me and my family beyond our dreams,” he continued. ”I’ve had the privilege and honor to see my brother work for Governor Jeb Bush, to be appointed to a Senate-confirmed office by President George W. Bush, and see my brother also appointed to a Senate-confirmed office by the same president.”

Jimenez continued to express his disgust with the party and announced he was resigning from the party.

“But I have decided that I will no longer be associated in any way with a party that is led by a bigoted, dangerous demagogue and that has become a party dominated by fear, anger and hate.
