‘Reckless on a Good Day and Dangerous on a Bad Day’: Former Republican Official Endorses Harris
Duncan reveals death threats because he wouldn't support Trump's 2020 falsehoods
Casting Donald Trump as “reckless” and “dangerous,” a former Republican lieutenant governor of Georgia said that he will vote instead for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Geoff Duncan, who was lieutenant governor of the Peach State in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, also said that he and his family received death threats because he wouldn’t go along with Trump’s claims that he won the state and the election results showing that Democrat Joe Biden won were “rigged.”
Duncan, who remains a Republican despite his break with Trump, made his remarks during separate appearances on CNN.
Duncan was Georgia’s lieutenant governor when Trump was attempting to overturn Biden’s lawful victories in Georgia and several other battleground states in the immediate aftermath of the 2020 election.
This year he has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
“I don’t agree with Kamala Harris on everything….” Duncan said. “I’m willing to eat a little bit of humble pie here to do the right thing. And the right thing is to beat Donald Trump…He’s reckless on a good day and dangerous on a bad day.”
A few days earlier on CNN, Duncan revealed death threats that came because he refused to support Trump’s falsehoods about the 2020 election.
“I watched the lies come. I watched — I listened to the death threats come into my family. I’ve watched guards outside my house, outside my office, all because I wouldn‘t — I was a Republican and I wouldn‘t lie, like Donald Trump did, about the election being rigged,” he said. “Every issue you raised were absolute issues. The border, inflation, foreign policy, all those are important. I wish we were having those exact conversations as Republicans and we were able to own those conversations, but instead we have a flawed candidate who tried to usurp democracy and now he‘s trying to fake his way back into the front door.
“He was a fake Republican for the first four years and he‘d be a dangerous fake Republican the next four years,” Duncan added.
