Jack Kemp, a star football quarterback who became a congressman, US Cabinet secretary and Republican vice presidential nominee, died on Saturday at age 73. Kemp died of cancer at his home in Bethesda, Maryland, The New York Times said, quoting his son, Jimmy Kemp.
He hoped that the candidate 'advances the principles of our party and appeals to a wide, vast majority of Americans'.
'We have to face the fact that Islamic terrorists are here on our soil and mean to do America harm.'
