Breaking- Rusty Bowers, current speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives says he

[malaise]

Is comfortable if the Slobfather is charged. Says he will not support him and he’s bad for the party
😀😀😀😀😀😀

He was on M$NBComcast

[MLAA]

1. Right after he did a great job testifying to J6 committee he said in an interview he would

vote for TFG anyway. I guess now that TFG is an even bigger loser than he was then he is a bridge too far even for Bowers.

[malaise]

2. Hypocrites all

We know that - they can't tolerate the three time loser any more.

[SheltieLover]

13. He is a qpuke. Lips moving. He is lying.

Who knows which is the lie?

Depends which way the wind is blowing...

[MLAA]

25. Exactly. Opportunistic.

[agingdem]

3. so what pushed Bible-loving Rusty into the

no more Trump column?...was it Trump's out-loud hate for '"the other"..or maybe separating families, babies in cages, the Muslim ban, the wall, insulting our allies, dissing NATO, never-ending stream of lies, nepotism on a grand scale, enriching his bottom line at taxpayers expense, ignoring/downplaying the pandemic, positing ingesting bleach as a covid cure all, sidelining career scientists/epidemiologist in favor of quacks/hacks/shamans/, disappearing 300,000 covid deaths, coddling dictators, plotting a coup, inciting an insurrection, stealing classified documents, dining with Nazis, "terminating" the Constitution?..no that's not it...Rusty Bowers is thumbs down on Trump because he's a loser, a cartoon digital trading cards buffoon...brave guy, that Rusty

[malaise]

4. You nailed it

[Ford_Prefect]

15. I think it finally registered with Rusty that DJT is a loser and a con 1st, last and

always.

I agree that the card trick probably was the last nail in that coffin. I don't think Rusty objected to most of Trumpism and would probably be very comfortable with DeSantis or Abbott as a candidate. I got the feeling he really isn't at home with Margorie three names and they way she howls for blood, though.

[hibbing]

17. Yeah, another profile in courage n/t

[Hamlette]

24. he's a Mormon and the church is softening on Trump because of Romney

Romney made it okay for Mormons to vote against Trump in 2020 and the church made it possible for Romney to vote in favor of the gay marriage bill.

Seeing this all from Mormonland (Utah) it is typical old white guys doing what they can to cover for each other.

I must admit, I have gained more respect for Romney than I had when he ran for office. Compared to Mike Lee, our other senator, Romney is a human being.

[MLAA]

26. Exactly.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. That's a macabre, horrendous, incredible list, and yet it's incomplete!

[czarjak]

30. The Book of Mormon is subtitled "Another Testament of Jesus Christ" because...

[Cha]

5. Whoa.. he's kinda brave with

all the Lake Magats in Arizona.

dt is is Malignant for the Universe.

[malaise]

6. You got that right

[Cha]

7. I bet Kari's Pissed.. & Wendy Rogers & Kelly Ward..

[Prairie_Seagull]

8. Looking like the bilge pumps can no longer keep up.

They have been running full speed for a long time.

[malaise]

9. Watching them devour one another is entertaining

Please proceed ReTHUGs

[madinmaryland]

21. Heh! REPUBLICANS IN DISARRAY!!

[Evolve Dammit]

10. Maybe they'll just start shooting each other, and give law enforcement a break.

18. Thanks

😀

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Kudos to him for testifying and for speaking out

He's been through more than enough thanks to TFG...

[malaise]

23. We'll show me your friends...

He was for him before he was against him.

[Raven123]

16. BS. The 2022 election results show TFG is a liability. That's THE ONLY reason for Bowers' 180

The GOP is begging for the DOJ to rescue them from themselves. They will likely get what they want and what the nation needs, and then the will nominate DeSantis.

[malaise]

19. We know that

They’re ditching their three time loser

[malaise]

22. He did testify and he did refuse to cheat for Slobby

But he was a big supporter before that

[Raven123]

27. Also said he would vote for TFG again, until mid summer

[malaise]

29. But then Slobby's picks lost
