Former Dow Jones CEO Les Hinton has joined the list of conservative figures who have come out against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, calling him a “sociopath” in a tweet.
Hinton made the tweet following the release of a 11-year-old videotape in which Trump made lewd comments about women, which has severely damaged support among prominent Republicans for the real-estate mogul’s White House bid.
Hinton is not a stranger to controversy himself. Hinton, who was born in Great Britain and became an American citizen in 1986, worked for 50 years with Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. He became CEO of Dow Jones in 2007, but was forced to resign in 2011 due to a phone-tapping scandal, Politico reports.
