Jeff Flake joins over two-dozen former GOP members of Congress to launch ‘Republicans for Biden’

EXCLUSIVE: More than two-dozen former Republican members of Congress threw their support behind a “Republicans for Biden” effort being launched Monday by the Democratic presidential nominee's campaign to engage potential GOP supporters this November.

The announcement comes on the first day of the Republican National Convention, as delegates prepare to formally re-nominate President Trump on Monday.

In their respective convention agendas, each party has sought to showcase converted supporters. Joe Biden's list of Republican supporters, shared first with Fox News, includes a number of well-known Trump critics, most notably former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona.

Last fall, he penned an op-ed urging lawmakers to abandon the president and save their "souls," as he backed impeachment. He's since said he won't vote for Trump, but had held off on a formal Biden endorsement until now.

Some others on the list had already backed the former vice president, including former Republican Sens. Gordon Humphrey of New Hampshire (who is now an independent) and John Warner of Virginia. They're joined by a number of former Republican House members:

Former Reps. Steve Bartlett of Texas, Bill Clinger of Pennsylvania, Tom Coleman of Missouri, Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, Charles Djou of Hawaii, Mickey Edwards of Oklahoma, Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland, Jim Greenwood of Pennsylvania, Bob Inglis of South Carolina, Jim Kolbe of Arizona, Steve Kuykendall of California, Ray LaHood of Illinois (who served as Transportation secretary in the Obama administration), Jim Leach of Iowa, Connie Morella of Maryland, Mike Parker of Mississippi, Jack Quinn of New York, Claudine Schneider of Rhode Island, Chris Shays of Connecticut, Peter Smith of Vermont, Alan Steelman of Texas, Bill Whitehurst of Virginia, Dick Zimmer of New Jersey, and Jim Walsh of New York.

A Biden campaign official told Fox News the endorsements are a “strong rebuke” of Trump and his administration.

“These former members of Congress cited Trump’s corruption, destruction of democracy, blatant disregard for moral decency, and urgent need to get the country back on course as a reason why they support Biden,” the Biden campaign official told Fox News.

“These former Members of Congress are supporting Joe Biden because they know what’s at stake in this election and that Trump’s failures as President have superseded partisanship,” the official continued.

Meanwhile, the official told Fox News that Flake, who repeatedly clashed with the president during his time in the Senate and even floated challenging him, is expected to make remarks Monday afternoon on why he is supporting Biden.

The “Republicans for Biden” program is part of the campaign’s national effort to engage Republicans who plan to vote for the Democratic nominee in November.

The Biden campaign is urging Republicans who plan to support Biden in the general election to encourage other Republicans to organize in their communities by using their “Vote Joe” app and other tools. A Biden campaign official said the app leverages existing relationships among supporters and allows them to identify and engage new supporters and potential persuadable supporters.

The campaign also sends mass text messages from the app encouraging volunteers and providing updates on events.

The Democratic National Convention, which concluded last week, also featured appearances from a number of Republicans -- including former Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich, former GOP Rep. Susan Molinari of New York, former Republican New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman and others.

Trump allies countered that the parade of Republicans included several who either were known Trump detractors or who had backed Democrats in other recent elections.

Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh dismissed the latest announcement in a statement to Fox News: “Joe Biden has been a failure in the Washington Swamp for a half century, so no one should be surprised when Swamp creatures gather to protect one of their own. President Trump has unprecedented support — over 95 percent — among real Republican voters and is also making strong inroads in Biden’s core Democrat constituencies, like Black Americans, Latinos, and union members. President Trump’s record of success for all Americans will carry him to victory in November.”

RNC spokesman Steve Guest said Flake “has abandoned any set of principles he once professed to have in order to embrace Joe Biden, a far-left Democrat, who is the bannerman for AOC & Bernie Sanders’ $93 trillion Green New Deal agenda of raising taxes on the middle class and forcing government control of health care on to the American people.”

While Democrats will do what they can this week to steal GOP thunder during their convention (just as the Trump campaign did during the Democrats'), the president is poised to quickly reclaim the spotlight.

He is expected to not just deliver an address on Thursday to accept his re-nomination—he will appear each night.

A Trump campaign official told Fox News that Trump will be "actively engaged in each night" of the convention; his appearances are likely to take place during the 10 p.m. hour.

The Trump campaign announced the full roster of speakers for the convention on Sunday. The list shows that other members of the Trump family will appear each night, including first lady Melania Trump; the president's children: Ivanka, Tiffany, Donald Jr., and Eric and his wife Lara Trump. And they're sure to feature converted supporters as well, including Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, who announced last year he was switching parties to become a Republican.

Other speakers will include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and UFC president Dana White.

Was West Wing a good show or the House of Cards of the 1990s?

I remember the guy who played Doug Stamper saying that Frank Underwood would pwn Trump during 2016 though.

West Wing might as well be Francis Fukuyama's brand of political drama (Neoliberal world order, lots of "civility"), while House of Cards is the gritty capeshit of political drama.

So yeah it was a lot better, but still propaganda about what the world ought to be like.

 

[Hangly]

House of Cards is limited hangout propaganda.

They'd love it if you believed that's how Washington actually worked. Zero spooks and one lobbyist. Right.

 

[GuntPunt]

This is the guy who won California for Bernie and nearly won Texas due to him bringing out the Latino vote.

 

[Freya]

Watching Pences speech is like watching like.... An amalgamation of movie and videogame Presidents. You know the guy that is for the purposes of the story the representative of the President? He's almost like a living stereotype.

View attachment 1550904

Because Pence actually knows how government works and is too smart to get caught in a scandal.
I kind of wish Trump would croak of a heart attack already so we could have a president than isn't a total embarrassment again

Democrats embraced the idpol demographics game supposedly.

And ever since that Nigger got kneed by the White Devil, they abandoned the Latinos for a race that has continued to vote Democrat at 90 percent rate roughly. Trump realisticaly was never going to go above 10 as niggers and blacks still hate him for some reason. And niggers and Latinos don't like each other. What a way to fuck it all up for niggers. Clyburn was enough for Biden and yet they they want to beat a dead horse on Nigger voting.

That is because while the % of Which Blacks voted for who were static..the numbers of black votes plummeted in 2016, if they go under 50 The Democrats have Zero chance of winning a presidential election.

The NYT (of all places?) did a demographic breakdown of Trump's voters immediately after the election. This would have been just before the miasma of insanity descended over the Democratic party and they started yammering about Russian meddling, if you remember that week and a half.

It wasn't "white people" that got Trump elected at all. The people who voted for Romney voted for Trump by and large, there was no change there. What changed was an unprecedented swing in minority votes to the Republicans. And it doesn't take much.

If the democrats lose even 10% of their minority meat shields they cease to exist as a party. There just aren't enough rich white assholes to keep them in power.

 

[Kacho]

Again? When was the last time? I sure as fuck don't remember it.

 

[Syaoran Li]

They just don't have their heart in it in certain ways. It always has to be some Jewish shit constantly, or demographic pandering to people who hate them.

Eh, I can at least see them doing a bit of Jew pandering for the Zionist camp since they actually do support the GOP for pragmatic and self-serving reasons. The leftists/globalist dilettantes are the ones not worth wasting time on.

If we're counting the mentally disabled then the DNC is still winning.

Well, yeah but AOC is a ringer.

So you'd rather Pence be President because of his "Presidential" perception? That's it? So they can pass whatever policies they want, just as they look right when they are telling you, it's okay?

He really embodies the peak of the White Anglo-Saxon Evangelical aesthetic.

But is he eternal?

Dana White is speaking and not Vince McMahon? Alright, fine, but Vince is a better speaker with his mastery of carny manipulation. One Vinnie Mac promo on the Democrats and the election is over.

 

[Reverend]

Dana White is speaking and not Vince McMahon? Alright, fine, but Vince is a better speaker with his mastery of carny manipulation. One Vinnie Mac promo on the Democrats and the election is over.

Vince's wife Linda is on Trump's cabinet and literally has his ear in running his SuperPAC for reelection campaign. Putting Vince up there is redundant, he's already in the game as the puppetmaster he is so brilliant at doing.

Dana White doesn't have that type of power, he does have the largest sports audience in america in the demographics the Republicans want to capture (18-35 male) and keep them locked in. Plus Dana isn't gonna run a double zombie dob on the gimmick to turn heel with SuperFly Snooka so there is that.

 

[Exterminatus]

Dana White is speaking and not Vince McMahon? Alright, fine, but Vince is a better speaker with his mastery of carny manipulation. One Vinnie Mac promo on the Democrats and the election is over.

Vince, from what I understand, is kind of a quiet guy normally compared to him being Mr. McMahon and doesn't really like politics much. In the McMahon DVD I remember Linda saying she basically had to drag Vince kicking and screaming to her political meetings and rallies when she was running for Senate in Connecticut cause he just didn't like dealing with politicians.

And Dana is more a brash guy, or at least that's kind of how I've seen him, also from what I'd seen somewhere else Trump actually played a significant role in helping keep UFC alive in the early days because of it having financial constraints and politicians like John McCain trying to have it banned outright so Dana supporting Trump and wanting to speak I can get, I'll be interested in what he says though, could be fun at least.

Vince knows that people watching sports watch it for entertainment compared to preaching, and considering all the pozzing nowadays his stance almost makes me want to watch wrestling.

 

[Jimmy Durante's Ballsack]

I miss trollmaster Trump. Where are my centipede roast compilations?

Remember during and after the 2016 election the mythical PIVOT was supposed to take place.

I'm glad that still hasn't happened yet. Just be patient, you'll get some vintage Trump once he's done slaying monsters with their own talking points. In a way it's one of the ultimate trolls.

 

[MrJokerRager]

Here are the Day 3 stats, DNC had more views thanks to Obama but RNC has did way better.

 

[Grandpa Simpson]

No, i said why pretty clearly, you just have autism

Scandal? The scandal of fish feeding? The scandal of two scoops? Or is the scandal of Russian collusion that the DOJ is currently finding out was a complete farce to discredit Trump in the Presidency? Every scandal has been entirely manufactured by the media or from within the government. The scandal Trump is suppressing the post office to steal the election? Well a Judge just found their mail in ballots were tainted.
