Conservative Legal Icon Nails Donald Trump With Dark Distinction
HuffPost
Former federal Judge J. Michael Luttig said it's time for Republicans "to be honest with themselves."
Conservative former federal Judge J. Michael Luttig warned in a new essay for The New York Times that the “choice for America next Tuesday could not be clearer.”
“He betrayed us,” Luttig said of former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump, later adding: “In the almost 250 years since the founding of the nation, no president before Donald Trump has ever so betrayed America.”
“Republicans and conservatives have always proudly claimed they would be the first to put the country above all else when the time came. That time has come,” wrote Luttig, who endorsed Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in August.
“If Republicans are unwilling to put America before their party now, they will never do so. They must be honest with themselves,” he added.
