Republican C-SPAN Caller Apologizes For Trump's Latest Scandal: 'This Is Not a Decent Man'

A Trump voter apologized for President Donald Trump posting a racist clip of former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama being depicted as apes while calling into C-SPAN’s Washington Journal on Friday. . .

Oh, my word. I am a registered Republican. My dad was the president of American Pipeliners Association, so I came by it rather naturally. Voted for the president, supported him. But I really want to apologize. I mean, I’m looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country,” the caller continued, adding:

All this man does is tell lies. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly. And now he’s being a racist blatantly. They were supposed to deport the dangerous criminals. They were not supposed to go after small children, storm schools, bring terror upon, you know, the little kids and the women and children—not just the immigrants in the school. All the children are scared.

This is not a decent man. This is not an honest man. He openly takes bribes. He’s pathetic as a president. And I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten man. John, did you vote for him in all three elections? I did. I was sucked into the stupidity of creating jobs, and there are no more jobs in New Mexico. Things are worse than they were before.

I have trouble understanding why it took him so long to figure out how corrupt and awful Trump is. He voted for the man after Jan 6, after all. Still, he sounds sincere. What do you all think?

It’s okay to change your mind. In fact, it is essential, at this time in history, to change your mind if you supported this man, because there is no end to the dark days ahead of us if you and others like you don’t help push for change in your party.

Get Trump impeached by July 4th. Most patriotic thing you can do.
