Donald Rumsfeld, who served as Secretary of Defense under former President George W. Bush, said he's not surprised George H.W. Bush, would support Hillary Clinton for president.
When asked why he was not surprised, Rumsfeld told MSNBC: "Oh, he's up in years."
"He obviously comes from a totally different cut than Donald Trump. He gets his choice, and if that's true, he's made his choice, then that's fine. He can go do what he wants to do," he added.
Earlier this week, one of Robert Kennedy's daughters posted on her Facebook page that the former president told her he plans to vote for Clinton.
Rumsfeld revealed some information about who he supports for president.
"I look at it and say, 'I don't agree with either of them 100 percent of the time. But who do I think would be best for the country? And what do I think is acceptable — maybe not preferred — but acceptable, as opposed to what's unacceptable…. Truthfulness is important."
The former defense secretary was asked if he believes Trump is "truthful."
"I think he's not untruthful, and I think she [Clinton] is," Rumsfeld said.
In June, Rumsfeld said he "can't imagine" not voting for Trump, according to Politico.
