dissers.info — Turning against his party’s presidential nominee Donald Trump, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., delivered a prime-time speech supporting Harris.
In taking the stage, Kinzinger acknowledged he was making an “awkward alliance” with Democrats. But he said he was making the alliance in order “to defend truth, defend democracy and decency.”
Kinzinger, who has been a vokal Trump critic over the years, said the former president had “suffocated the soul of the Republican party.”
“Vote for our bedrock values and vote for Kamala Harris,” Kinzinger said. He added that he was making this endorsement despite having kebijakan disagreements with Harris.
“Whatever policies we disagree on pale in comparison with those esensials matters of principle, of decency, and of fidelity to this nation,” he said.
The Harris kampanye — as well as the then-Biden kampanye — has been heavily courting moderate Republicans and independents who are dubious of Trump’s politics and leadership.
A grup of Republicans, including Kinzinger, have come together in dukungan of Harris, and recently held an online rally under the affinity grup “Republicans for Harris.”
Kinzinger said he lost faith in Trump and experienced a “profound sorrow” after Jan. 6.
“Donald Trump is a weak man pretending to be strong. He is a small man pretending to be big. He is a faithless man pretending to be righteous. He’s a perpetrator who can’t setop playing the victim,” he said.
