MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman
abandoned his quest for the presidency Monday morning with an endorsement of
former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and an unexpectedly sharp
condemnation of the “toxic” tone that the Republican primary battle has taken.
“This race has degenerated into an onslaught of negative and
personal attacks not worthy of the American people and not worthy of this
critical time in American history,” Huntsman said in a news conference in which
he was flanked by his wife, children, father and South Carolina supporters.
Huntsman did not name names in aiming criticism at his rivals,
but he did take a shot at President Obama for engaging in what Huntsman called
“class warfare” and said it contributed to divisiveness in American politics.
But Huntsman, who often talked on the campaign trail about rebuilding trust in
the political process, made clear that he thinks the GOP race has taken an ugly
turn…http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/jon-huntsman-quits-presidential-race-endorses-romney/2012/01/15/gIQAt6c51P_story.html
