Washington (CNN)At least eight staffers have left the Republican National Committee at least in part due to discomfort over the party's nomination of Donald Trump for president.

Politico reported Wednesday that deputy press secretary James Hewitt, spokesman Fred Brown, director of Hispanic media Ruth Guerra and research analysts Lars Trautman and Colin Spence have left in recent months, citing Trump as a reason for their departure.

"Personally I wasn't comfortable working to elect him," Spence told Politico.

At least three other staffers have also left, Politico reported, citing Trump as contributing to their resignations. A total of 11 staffers have left the RNC since March, the news outlet reported.

6. the worse things go for the tRump campaign...

5. Glad to hear this.

People should not work for people (or companies) they don't support. And while party loyalty has its admirable aspects, blind party loyalty does not.

7. Excellent point, PoindexterOglethorpe

And welcome to DU!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

I'm just feeling my way around for now.

8. Repugs whose consciences aren't totally atrophied?

Thought they went extinct with the passenger pigeon.

10. They are smart to leave. I sure as hell would. And not just for integrity's sakes either

It would be for survival. If this is my career, I sure as hell wouldn't put it at risk working for the likes of this clown. I would not want to be associated with him in any way.

11. What a shame.

When will the other rats leave? Like Reince Priebus, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.
