He told 250 plus at the Crowne Plaza Five Seasons Hotel that America faces a moral rot and urged voters to demand truth and moral conviction in Republicans as primary season nears. He questioned serving as president amid public acceptance of Clinton’s alleged wrongdoings and attacked tax and abortion stances as intertwined with cultural collapse.
