Former GOP Michigan governor endorses Biden, calls Trump a 'bully'
Source: Politico
Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Thursday, arguing the former vice president would bring back civility to the United States and work on bringing Americans closer together.
He has shown the desire to heal a deeply divided nation; has demonstrated strong moral character and empathy; and he seems willing to listen to people who have different perspectives from his own, Snyder, a Republican, wrote in an op-ed in USA Today.
Snyder, a former computer industry executive who memorably introduced himself to voters as one tough nerd during his first run for office, blasted President Donald Trump as a bully who refused to respect opposing points of view.
Being strong is standing up for your convictions. Being a bully is trying to intimidate those who are perceived to be weaker or a threat, Snyder wrote. As a proud nerd, I had to deal with bullies over many years; it is tragedy watching our world suffer from one.
