Don Peay says the 54 percent of Utah voters — especially Mormon Republicans — who didn't cast their presidential ballots for Donald Trump need to do at least one thing: repent.
The former head of the Trump campaign in the Beehive State told the Utah County Republican Women group Monday night, according to Provo's Daily Herald, that "the people who did not get behind Trump probably need to look at themselves in the mirror and say, 'Maybe I need to show a little bit of humility and ask for forgiveness, because I was wrong.' "
Peay, a Latter-day Saint and founder of Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, called out Utahns who voted for independent Evan McMullin as misguided, backing a candidate with no shot at winning the White House.
McMullin, a fellow Mormon and an ex-CIA operative, finished third in the state at 22 percent, behind Democrat Hillary Clinton's 27 percent and Trump's 46 percent.
Peay said the GOP nominee, who carried Utah with far less support than Republicans usually net, struggled to gain traction because of his "language" and "colorful past."
"Sometimes, [Mormons] forget about repentance and forgiveness," Peay said in the Daily Herald story.
He pointed to Trump's anti-abortion stance and his successful family as evidence that the new president aligns with LDS values....

Is Mourman ism a cult?
They never will. Their cult leaders told them how to vote.
I never thought of them as a cult until this election. When normally conservative people blindly follow their leaders to do something liberal (backing amnesty and Muslims) - it’s a cult.
LOL, see the post below yours. You beat me to it
Have a friend who tried to tell me how even very strong Republican friends are against Trumore “And you know how conservative Mormons are”.
I laughed and said “Proved they are blinded by their cult. They voted for Mcmuffin”.
She got angry and asked what kind of slur that was.
Her husband explained who McMuffin is.
She the asked said friends if they voted for this “Evan Mcmullin and they said yep.
She shrugged her shoulder in confirmation.
“Told you. Their White Horse Prophecy trumps all”
Well Utah is 63% Mormon, so if 22% of the electorate voted for McMuffin (and presumably some non-Mormons voted for him too) then there is not the lockstep obedience that would characterize a cult. I’m no fan of Mormonism, not by a long shot, but McMuffin would have done a lot better there if there was such rigid obedience.
The only people that don’t consider Mormonism to be a cult are Mormons.
Even the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Unification Church of Witness Lee think Mormons are a cult.
The church leaders attempted to sway their members, making it a cult. If not all followed, that doesn’t mean it’s not.
And I wasn’t even speaking of the final election, but of the primary where their church was backing illegals and Muslims, right after Trump came out putting Americans first.
“Is Mourman ism a cult?”
Do they wear Magic Underwear?
Yes, Mormonism is a false religion. Anyone who adds to the Bible or makes their own bible in addition to the Scriptures is pushing a false religion. I don’t have anything against Mormons personally, but they are not Bible-based Christians at all.
They were wrong to buy into the anti-Trump Talk. We need Mormons to help save the Nation.
