Ex-GOP Official Hits Trump With A Cold, Harsh Truth On CNN

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) delivered yet another damning assessment of former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, declaring that: “He’s not God. He’s a loser.”

Duncan’s slam of the GOP nominee came during a CNN “Newsnight” panel discussion on Trump’s call for Republicans to force a government shutdown if Democrats fail to agree to laws to combat his fake voter fraud claims.

“I don’t know what I’m more mad at. I go back and forth minute to minute,” Duncan earlier admitted.

“Am I more mad at Donald Trump trying to sabotage good policy and good legislation to keep the trains on time?” he asked. “Or am I more mad that we’re at this epitome of stupidity again and half the people in that room couldn’t pass a high school economics class and don’t realize the damage that they’re doing just to try to prime up an extra 15 likes on Twitter?”

“It infuriates me to watch us get to this spot,” Duncan added. “When you look at the mechanics of what’s going on, we’ve already budgeted the money and now we just don’t want to write the check for it. If we do that at home, we ultimately go to jail or get evicted or lose your car of your wife leaves you or something.”

Watch here:

Duncan faced Trump’s wrath following the 2020 election after he refused to help overturn the then-defeated incumbent’s loss to President Joe Biden.

Duncan initially endorsed Biden’s reelection campaign and has now publicly backed Kamala Harris for the White House.

“I think it’s important to reinforce the fact to Republicans around the country that just because you vote for Kamala Harris in 2024, doesn’t mean you’re Democrat,” Duncan said on CNN last month.”It just means you’re a patriot. You’re doing your duty as an American to step up to the plate and reclaim this country’s future.”
