Indian American GOP presidential convention delegate |
An Indian American GOP presidential convention delegate who has been critical of presumptive nominee Donald Trump has been ousted from the convention. A credentials committee voted to reject Rina Shah Bharara, 32, who had been a top vote-getter at the District of Columbia`s nominating convention. Bharara said this means that the convention is controlled by pro-Trump forces. Bharara`s role as a delegate has been controversial since she gave an interview saying her opposition to Trump was so strong that she might support Democrat Hillary Clinton instead. She has since promised to vote for a Republican in November. Later, the D.C. Republican Party removed her as a delegate, saying it learned she was not a resident of the District of Columbia.Bharara`s removal is for “residency and residency alone, they claim.
