President Trump speaks during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday. (Leah Millis/Reuters)A former top Texas judge says she has left the Republican Party over President Trump, after his racist tweet telling four congresswomen to “go back” to where they came from. “Even accepting that Trump has had some successes (and I believe these are few), at his core, his ideology is racism,” the 55-year-old retired judge wrote Monday in a Facebook post. “Every day with the Republican Party seemed worse than the day before,” Alcala told the Statesman. Alcala left the state appeals court last year after deciding not to run for reelection.
