Outspoken black pastor quits GOP over 'mentally ill' Trump

The Rev. O’Neal Dozier, the outspoken and often controversial Broward pastor, is resigning from the Republican Party, citing what he said are President Donald Trump’s attitudes toward blacks, legitimizing of white supremacists and overall “ungodly character.”

“I believe Donald Trump is mentally ill. I believe he is unfit for the presidency. I know these are strong words. But I have studied the man. This type of behavior doesn’t come from sane people,” Dozier said in an interview in which he also said the president has demonstrated “racist tendencies.”

“We are in trouble. I fear for my county. I fear for my nation. Donald Trump is not the right person for the office of the presidency,” Dozier said. “He’s hurt the nation politically, socially, spiritually, morally and in every other way. He truly has. … Every day there is some foolishness, some chaos that Donald Trump has started. All kinds of stuff. It’s ridiculous.”

Dozier said Trump has driven him away from the Republican Party — and is driving the Republican Party toward ruin. Dozier changed his voter registration on Tuesday, becoming a no party affiliation/independent voter after decades as a Republican. He said the only Democratic presidential candidate he voted for was Jimmy Carter in 1976, something he later regretted.

1. A day late and a dollar short.

He only just figured this out?

12. This

If he was Ok with "grab em by the p..." and Ok with "I could shoot someone in the streets and they would still vote for me" then I am thinking Trump is not the only person mentally ill in this picture.

I am complete sick and tried of these people that are too slow to figure out these evil and devious con men(and women)

2. A "come to Jesus" moment?

4. You'd think a pastor

Wouldn't need a come to Jesus moment.

[BumRushDaShow]

6. IMHO

GOP "pastors" are fake.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

9. Absolutely

Pretend Xtians fooling only each other and themselves.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

3. Good for him

I can't for the life of me imagine why a POC, much less a pastor, would align with the goops anyway.

14. The "donations" stopped coming in.

[Corgigal]

5. Could have taken a weekend trip

to manhattan , see a play and ask any random person about Trump. We knew him best, but you refused to listen to us.

Hope we all don't go poof.

7. Preaching in front of Tea Party Banner

should get his tax exemption revoked. But it won’t.

8. Unbelievable..

It was obvious to some of us that Mango Mussolini has NEVER had overall "Godly character". We have known that he is a racist, he is mentally ill and that he is unfit for the Presidency. Reverend Dozier, I suppose next you'll be using strong words to advise us that you have discovered that water is wet, the Pope is Catholic and bears shit in the woods.

Or to summarize, "Doh!".

11. You ask the Burke-wing of the Catholic Church

They'll likely tell you that Pope Francis isn't really Catholic

[rpannier]

10. In 2020 he'll be supporting Pence

I am not convinced of his conversion

[LiberalFighter]

13. What took him so long. Don't trust him.

[YOHABLO]

15. AfAm first name is O'Neal? Strange. Being a RWr is strange.

16. Rat leaves sinking ship. He didn't know Trump's nature before signing up?

Gimme a break.
