(KUTV) Utah Speaker of the House Greg Hughes endorsed
Donald Trump Friday in front of a crowd of about 400 at a rally for the
insurgent Republican presidential candidate.
Hughes
says he met Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr. recently who asked for his
endorsement.
Hughes spoke to a revved up crowd at the Infinity Event
Center in downtown Salt Lake City as Trump fans waited for the billionaire to
address the crowd.
Hughes
warned protesters that this wouldn't be the best place to speak out against
Trump.
After
Hughes spoke, the chairman of the Utah Republican Party, James Evans, addressed
the crowd. He tried to explain to them how the caucus process works, but he was
heckled by a few in the crowd and gently implored them, "Don't turn on
me."
There
were about 400 to 500 people inside the venue, but the line of supporters
stretched for blocks away from the event center.
