Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he would “never vote again” for former President Donald Trump.
Bowers testified to the January 6 House Select Committee about the former president’s actions surrounding the 2020 election.
Partial transcript as follows:
JON KARL: Liz Cheney asked the question, can a president who was willing to make the choices Donald Trump made —
REP. LIZ CHENEY, (R-WY): Donald Trump made during the violence of January 6th, ever be trusted with any position of authority in our great nation again?
BOWERS: I would certainly hope not. I certainly don’t trust that authority that he would exercise.
KARL: Liz also said that the reality that we face today as Republicans is we have to choose to be loyal to Donald Trump or to be loyal to the Constitution, and you can’t be both, and that’s what — and that’s the choice the Republicans faced. I mean, that’s the choice you faced.
BOWERS: Definitely and forcefully so, as I said.
KARL: Yes.
BOWERS: You will come to us or we will punish you and that’s kind of the attitude of that particular group. If you want to base a party and an authority and move people to solve problems, you can’t base it on a lie. Ultimately that falls apart.
KARL: Never met Kevin McCarthy —
BOWERS: No.
KARL: — but if you were to offer him some advice — I’m not sure he’d be seeking it from you, but —
BOWERS: I don’t think he would.
KARL: — but if you were to offer him some —
BOWERS: Just tell the truth, look at the situation, look at the stakes. What is at stake here? You have to have quality moral character and a moral compass and in the absence of that, then the whole country is at risk.

Screw him.
Burnt bridges are hard to cross!!
There are a few RINOs out in Arizona who control the party and the dynamics. So far, no one has really done much to edge them out or force them into another party.
Who paid this guy? Because somebody obviously did.
He’ll vote for the Democrats he loves so much.
Well Rusty, there’s always the Bush dynasty and Mike Pence... Oh, and that Kasich man. There’s quite a few to hang out with.
So..he’s claiming he did,past tense,vote for Trump?
pot... kettle
Like anyone cares...
Enjoy your forced retirement.
Trump is great but America isn’t going to elect another person in their late 70’s to the presidency.
LOL!
OK boomer.

“Because you have turned your back on him for DeSantis?”
This has nothing to do with me and no, I haven’t turned my back on Trump for DeSantis. I’m just stating reality. America will never again elect someone over 75 to the presidency after the Biden fiasco.
Maybe he didn’t see the video of the files be deleted in the server room by unauthorized personal.
But they would elect a person who is open borders?
But they would elect a person who is destroying our energy supply and who is supporting the Green New Deal?
But they would support a person who would mandate clot shots?
But they would support a person who is devaluing the US dollar and who is responsible for inflation?
If you say so.
And I could go on and on with examples.
McConnell and that FAT PIG McDaniels!
