McMullin Criticizes Trump Over Supporter's Robocall

Independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin is criticizing Republican Donald Trump over a robocall going out in Utah from a white nationalist supporter who calls McMullin a "closet homosexual" and "open borders amnesty supporter."

White nationalist William Johnson said Monday the call will go out starting Monday night to 193,000 voters in Utah, where polls show McMullin is threatening Trump.

McMullin in a Tweet called it another "desperate attack" spreading "baseless lies" by Trump and his "racist supporters as he continues to lose ground in Utah."

His campaign didn't respond to a request for further comment.

Johnson says Trump had nothing to do with the call. He is among white supremacists who have credited Trump with invigorating their cause.

Trump's campaign wasn't immediately available for comment.
