Oops:Bombshell: Pence's former top homeland security aide endorses Biden in devastating new ad

September 17, 2020

By Bob Brigham

Another lifelong Republican and former top Trump administration official has endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden.

“Olivia Troye, the former top homeland security aide to Vice President Mike Pence, endorsed former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Thursday and accused President Trump of weak leadership and of dramatically mismanaging the response to the coronavirus crisis,” The New York Times reported Thursday. “In an ad released online, Ms. Troye recounts hearing the president — who has spoken about his phobia of germs — say in a meeting that he was glad that the virus had arrived in the United States, because it meant he would no longer have to shake hands with people he said he considered ‘disgusting.'”

“Josh Venable, who served as the chief of staff for Betsy DeVos, the secretary of education, will also join the group, known as REPAIR (Republican Political Alliance for Integrity and Reform), according to a statement. John Mitnick, the former top lawyer at Mr. Trump’s Department of Homeland Security, is an adviser to the group,” the newspaper reported. “Ms. Troye, a lifelong Republican who also worked in the George W. Bush administration, said in the statement that she will serve as a co-founder of the group, with the goal of restoring integrity to the Republican Party.”

Nice that so many Republicans are achieving a glimmer of self-awareness, but I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that she voted for that criminal crew and their Congressional enablers.

It's like someone who shot a hole in your boat has decided to help you bail water. Gee, thanks...I guess.

Trump wants them gone so he can mold the younger people into greedy assholes who care not for anyone but themselves. Trump doesn’t care about her because she is old school Republican.

I hope she can appear in more ads, maybe even some from Joe's campaign.

It was clear she is woke from the cult.

You can tell it genuinely hurt her that trump undercut everything she was trying to do in her job. It seems like the number of former WH admin members willing to go on record as voting for Biden rather than trump, and going in to detail about why, is growing every day.
