Ex-GOP Lawmaker Has Urgent 2024 Message For Former Trump Loyalists
HuffPost
"I am an American— and right now that means supporting Democratic institutions and our way of life no matter what," said Denver Riggleman.
Former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-Va.) says it’s time for more of Donald Trump’s former allies to throw their weight behind President Joe Biden.
On MSNBC Sunday, Riggleman said it’s “absolutely” important for those who no longer support Trump to publicly back Biden. As examples, he pointed to former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci and former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), both of whom have said they would vote for Biden in his likely rematch with Trump this year.
“This is a person that you don’t want anywhere near ... the Oval Office again,” Riggleman told MSNBC’s Alex Witt of the quadruply-indicted former president. “This is an individual that is out of touch with reality, or pretends that he’s out of touch with reality, to actually ignite the base, or to try to make the base violent, or to do things outside of what normal behavior would be.”
Riggleman said that when he considers what Trump has done and what kind of people he has surrounded himself with, “there’s nobody else who I’d vote for but Joe Biden.”
The ex-congressman announced in 2022 that he had left the Republican Party over its devotion to Trump.
