The latest Republican profile in courage comes to us straight from Utah, where Rep. Chris Stewart, who once called Donald Trump "our Mussolini," now says he will vote for the GOP likeness of a brutal dictator. Caitlin MacNeal writes:
"These other candidates, they’re just not going to win," Stewart told St. George News. "Given that choice, it's very clear to me what is better for our country. It is very clear that Donald Trump is a better choice than Hillary Clinton."
He said that a vote for any candidate other than Trump is a vote for Clinton. Stewart also acknowledged his past criticism of Trump, but said that he ultimately supports the Republican nominee.
Who are these jokers?! For real. Somehow it's definitely better to vote for a fascist dictator who allied himself with Hitler and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people than to vote for Hillary Clinton? Here's Stewart back in March.
"He's our Mussolini," Stewart told students at the University of Utah on Monday during a forum hosted by the Hinckley Institute of Politics. "As a Republican, I'm telling you: Donald Trump does not represent Republican ideals," Stewart said.
Well, he does now. You're voting for him.
Can you pitch in $1 to each of our House endorsees to make sure cowards like Rep. Chris Stewart aren’t running the House?
