As the elected spokesperson of the most influential group of Republican women in the United States, I reaffirm the National Federation of Republican Womens unified support of Republican Presidential Nominee Donald J. Trump and Vice Presidential Nominee Mike Pence, NFRW President Carrie Almond said in the statement. Our organization of thousands of women from all 50 states, from every walk of life, are steadfast in our very clear understanding that Hillary Clinton does not represent us; not as women, not as Americans.
That statement appeared to be the last straw for Gesing, who shared her resignation letter on Twitter.
Since I cannot support Donald J. Trump for President, nor can I advocate for his election, I feel that I cannot adequately fulfill my duties of my position, she explained. I cannot support the National Federation of Republican Women President Carrie Almonds statement that was released yesterday on behalf of Republican women nationally, as I do not support Donald J. Trump.
Gesing noted that she was still a Republican and would work hard for our down ballot GOP candidates.

If you won't vote for Trump you shouldn't vote for one of his supporters.
