Kamala and Joe by Nancy OhanianNot enough Republicans paraded around by the nascent Biden administration for you? Tim Reid at Reuters wrote that over 70 former Republican national security officials including ex-CIA and FBI chiefs will endorse Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Friday while launching a scathing indictment of [Señor Trumpanzee, aka- the Orange Menace] calling him corrupt and unfit to serve." That's today and... here's the statement from a brand new group: Former Republican National Security Officials for Biden. Some of the big names I recognized on the list include some pretty bad hombres (and when I say "bad," I actually mean bad, like in lousy): Richard Armitage, John Negroponte, William Webster, Chuck Hagel, Michael Hayden, Chester Crocker, Carla Hills...Collin Powell also endorsed Biden this week (video below) but he's not part of this group. And for some reason they threw ex-Sen. John Warner (R-VA) and ex-congressmen Jim Leach (R-IA), Chris Shays (R-CT) and Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) on the list too. Hey, why not? I guess this was the crew that Miles Taylor was teasing out when he said the other day that more Republicans would be coming out against Trump and for Biden. He's one of the signatories of the statement too. They made 10 key points, all pretty basic and nothing that anyone who hasn't been brainwashed by Fox and Hate Talk Radio would dispute:
• Trump has gravely damaged America’s role as a world leader• Trump has shown that he is unfit to lead during a national crisis• Trump has solicited foreign influence and undermined confidence in our presidential elections.• Trump has aligned himself with dictators and failed to stand up for American values.• Trump has disparaged our armed forces, intelligence agencies, and diplomats.• Trump has undermined the rule of law.• Trump has dishonored the office of the presidency.• Trump has divided our nation and preached a dark and pessimistic view of America.• Trump has attacked and vilified immigrants to our country.• Trump has imperiled America’s security by mismanaging his national security team.
I predict a very Republican Biden administration.
