Trump ignored advice when he went after Mark Sanford
President Donald Trump’s decision Tuesday to go after an incumbent Republican congressman who had previously criticized him flouted the advice of allies who suggested he stay out of the race.
Rep. Mark Sanford, a rare conservative member who was also critical of the President, lost his GOP primary on Tuesday to Katie Arrington, a South Carolina state representative who made Sanford’s negative comments about Trump the focus of her campaign.
