Former Georgia official says Trump’s moral compass resembles an ax murderer more than a president.
Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan Urges Republicans to Reject Trump as Nominee
Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan made a bold statement on Monday night, comparing former President Donald Trump’s moral compass to that of an “axe murderer.” Duncan, who witnessed Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, called on Republicans to take immediate action and prevent Trump from returning to the White House.
“As Republicans, that dashboard is going off with lights and bells and whistles, telling us all the warning things we need to know,” Duncan told CNN. “Ninety-one indictments, fake Republican, a trillion dollars worth of debt, everything we need to see to not choose him as our nominee, including the fact that he’s got the moral compass … more like an ax murderer than a president. We need to do something right here, right now. This is either our pivot point or our last gasp as Republicans.”
Duncan highlighted Trump’s extensive list of indictments, describing it as a “Ponzi scheme of lies” from a “two-year crime spree.” Trump currently faces indictments in Georgia, Florida, Washington, D.C., and New York. The most recent case in Georgia involves 13 racketeering and conspiracy charges. Despite the allegations, Trump maintains his innocence in all four cases.
According to Duncan, Trump cannot afford to skip any trial dates or prioritize personal matters over legal proceedings. He emphasized the importance of facing the consequences and “going to have to actually go face the music.”
These concerns are echoed by other Republicans, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is challenging Trump for the 2024 presidential nomination. Christie expressed worry about Trump’s ability to defeat President Joe Biden, especially as trial dates fill his schedule. The Washington, D.C., trial is set to begin in March, just a day before Super Tuesday.
“I think for Republican voters, the biggest thing they have to look at now is that we’re going to have a guy running for president who, from March 4 probably for the next four to six weeks, will be every day in a courtroom in Washington, D.C., and not campaigning against Joe Biden,” Christie told CNN on Monday. “This is disastrous for the Republican Party.”
While the trial date for Georgia has yet to be determined, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis initially aimed for March 4, coinciding with the Washington, D.C., case. Additionally, Trump faces a state criminal case in New York scheduled for trial on March 25.
It remains to be seen how these legal battles will impact Trump’s political future and the Republican Party as a whole.
