Any Republican who votes for Harris was never a real conservative to begin with.
Over 200 alums for neocons George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney announced their endorsement of Kamala Harris on Monday, calling another term under former President Donald Trump “untenable.”
The letter from 238 former officials of three previous Republican presidential nominees claims that although they have “disagreements” with the Harris-Walz ticket, a Trump victory would “jeopardize” democracy.
“We reunite today, joined by new George H.W. Bush alumni, to reinforce our 2020 statements and, for the first time, jointly declare that we’re voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz this November,” the letter reads.
“Of course, we have plenty of honest, ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz. That’s to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable.”
From USA Today:
Among those who signed the letter in support of Harris and her running-mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, include: former McCain chiefs of staff Mark Salter and Chris Koch; Joe Donoghue, former legislative director for McCain; Jennifer Lux, press secretary for McCain’s 2008 campaign, and Jean Becker, longtime chief of staff for George H.W. Bush.
Also backing Harris are David Nierenberg, Romney’s 2012 campaign finance chair; David Garman, under secretary of Energy for George W. Bush; and Olivia Troye, a former advisor to both George W. Bush and Vice President Mike Pence. Troye spoke from the stage of the DNC convention last week.
“At home, another four years of Donald Trump’s chaotic leadership, this time focused on advancing the dangerous goals of Project 2025, will hurt real, everyday people and weaken our sacred institutions,” the letter says, referring to the Heritage Foundation’s policy outline that Trump denounced as not a part of his policy platform.
“Abroad, democratic movements will be irreparably jeopardized as Trump and his acolyte JD Vance kowtow to dictators like Vladimir Putin while turning their backs on our allies. We can’t let that happen,” it adds.
The letter highlights the ongoing ideological rift between the establishment RINO-neocon wing of the Republican Party and the MAGA movement led by Trump, made obvious by his past feuds with McCain and Romney.
Unlike Trump’s America First doctrine, the establishment wing of the GOP advocated for endless wars, a porous border and mass amnesty to drive down wages, and venerated intelligence agencies that routinely lie to the American people on foreign policy.
A similar group of about 150 anti-Trump former staffers of Bush, McCain and Romney pledged support for Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
At this point in 2024, any Republican who votes for Harris was never a real conservative to begin with given her communist policies directly contradict core Republican values.
