source: Reuters

" A Republican lawmaker in Congress became the first to break with his party over the White House campaign on Tuesday, denouncing presidential candidate Donald Trump as unfit to lead and pledging to vote for Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

...
Ayotte, who's said she will vote for Trump, said she was "appalled" by the Republican nominee's attacks. The New Hampshire senator's husband is an Iraq War veteran.

"There is no greater sacrifice than to lay down one’s life for their country, and that’s the sacrifice that Captain Humayun Khan made fighting to defend our freedom and our constitutional rights," Ayotte said in a statement. "He was a true American hero. The Khan family deserves nothing less than our deepest support, respect, and gratitude, and they have every right to express themselves in any way they choose."
