17. He has been screaming at Republicans, daily, for years.

Fri Jan 31, 2025, 12:33 PM

Jan 2025

I follow him on social media, first Twitter/X & now Bluesky, & he's been one of the harshest & most outspoken critics of Trump & GOP Trumpism/MAGA for years.

Edit to add...
Walsh posted this yesterday on Bluesky:
I used to be a political asshole. And divisive politicians like me helped usher in Trump. But then I woke up. And for the past 6yrs, I’ve done all I can to defeat Trump/Trumpism. My journey has lessons for all. I explain in today’s Substack.
