PENNSYLVANIA — Donald Trump may be visiting Pennsylvania today, but some Pennsylvania Republicans don’t want anything to do with him. Donald Trump has spent years spouting hateful rhetoric and dangerous policies that will do serious harm to working families and put America’s security at risk. Ahead of Trump’s visit in Monessen, PA, Reps. Charlie Dent and Ryan Costello remain skeptical and critical of their party’s standard bearer, and former Governor Tom Ridge has condemned and rejected his candidacy.
