SEATTLE -- Reaction to the President Trump's orders on immigration have been full of fierce resistance -- including from within his own party.

Chris Vance tried -- unsuccessfully -- to unseat Sen. Patty Murray in the November election, but he is most well-known for being the former chairman of the state Republican Party.

And he says the GOP is running scared.

"There are a lot of Republican politicians that are afraid of losing Trump voters." Vance said. "This is not about politics. This is about good and evil, right and wrong, our constitution, our values and who we are."

Vance goes on to say that Republicans who are remaining silent "should be ashamed of themselves."

His comments have made Vance persona-non-grata with his former colleagues.

"I find myself in a very weird position," he says, "but youve got to put your country first, and party is way down the list after that."

Vance then went and joined a large protest that had gathered in opposition of the Trump's executive order Sunday night at Seattle's Westlake Center.
