Former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan (R) revealed Monday he would be backing President Biden in November’s election and criticized other Republicans who “fall in line” with former President Trump.

In an op-ed published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday, Duncan wrote that it is “disappointing to watch an increasing number of Republicans fall in line behind” Trump. He said that he is left with no choice but to support Biden instead of the presumptive Republican nominee, who he described as “a man who has disqualified himself through his conduct and his character.”

“But the GOP will never rebuild until we move on from the Trump era, leaving conservative (but not angry) Republicans like me no choice but to pull the lever for Biden. At the same time, we should work to elect GOP congressional majorities to block his second-term legislative agenda and provide a check and balance,” Duncan wrote.

Duncan listed Trump’s New York hush money case as one of the reasons that he will not be supporting him. He also hit Trump over promoting “unfounded conspiracy theories that led to the horrific events of Jan. 6, 2021.”

1. This is like our Zell Miller from 2004

Georgia is an interesting state for sure

[oasis]

15. Zell Miller was totally without

honor. Too bad Chris Matthews
never took him up on the duel challenge.

2. Good for him. You listening, Liz Cheney?

[mobeau69]

3. Not sure what you mean. Didn't Liz endorse Joe?

[50 Shades Of Blue]

4. She's an anti-Trumper but I haven't read, seen, or heard anywhere that she's endorsed Joe.

[mobeau69]

5. You're correct. There're a few more like her. Hopefully they'll do it after Chicago or sooner.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

6. I hope so too!

[GB_RN]

8. She's Working To Defeat Cantaloupe Caligula...

Last I read, she’s raising money and doing whatever she can to make sure he doesn’t win.

9. So are a lot of people. People who don't put party ahead of country. Like she is.

12. Except she's not

“I will do everything I can to make sure [Trump] is never anywhere near the Oval Office again,” vowed Cheney. Defeating Trump means reelecting President Biden and rejecting third-party candidates, she said forthrightly. Though she disagrees with Biden on many policy issues, she said his victory in November is necessary to save the country from potential dictatorship.

You were saying...?

[mobeau69]

14. Thank you.

[GB_RN]

16. Is?

I am NOT defending her political positions, because Cheney and I are polar opposites, but I’m not sure I’d say she’s putting party over country at this point. Before 1/6 and I’d agree with you, but Cheney is raising money and campaigning for Democrats. She’s endorsed and actively campaigning for Elissa Slotkin, for one. Cheney also has said that Republicans cannot be in control of Congress next year, see this article from The Guardian.

And with that, I’m done. Enjoy your day.🖖

13. Did you bother to look?

It's not difficult to do the Google search to find out where she stands. She has expressed it, already.

[NanaCat]

11. She's well ahead of you

And has been for several weeks now:

“I will do everything I can to make sure [Trump] is never anywhere near the Oval Office again,” vowed Cheney. Defeating Trump means reelecting President Biden and rejecting third-party candidates, she said forthrightly. Though she disagrees with Biden on many policy issues, she said his victory in November is necessary to save the country from potential dictatorship.

7. One brave republican does not a trend make.

One decent man among hundreds of self-serving corrupt brown shirt brown-nosers. I congratulate him but I have little faith.

[NanaCat]

10. It has to start somewhere.

And it's always better to vote Biden than TSF.

Don't spit on that vote. We need every single one of them we can get if we expect to save the country.

[Mysterian]

17. It's time for all decent people to reject Trump's sedition and treason against the USA

The founders trusted in the "genius of the people" to keep our republic.
