Jake Tapper : "When people hear this from you, are you saying you should not vote for him because of what happened?"

Jenny Racicot : "I'm not going to go as far as to say that. I'm just here to tell my story, to give a clearer picture of who he is and the type of past that he has and I just think it's fair to the democratic process to let people know who they're voting for."
