I was a Republican governor of Pa. I’m voting for Joe Biden. (Tom Ridge)
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | 09/27/2020 | Tom Ridge - Op Ed

---SNIP--- I actually consider it a point of personal pride that I’m recognized for being among the first Republicans to reject Donald Trump. It was way back in December 2015. I told NBC’s Chuck Todd that day that I could never support Trump. I said then that he was an embarrassment to the Republican Party and our country. I said he belittles, demeans, and ridicules people who disagree with him, and that I’ve never thought that loud, obnoxious, and simpleminded solutions to complex problems are the kind of qualities we want in a president. I believe that earned me my first of several Trump tweets of indignation.

That is not surprising. Most Republicans are wimps, cuckolds, sissies, and cross dressers. Lora Loomer has bigger testicles that the entire Republican Congressional Delegation and Jeff Sessions to boot.

It was a real downgrade going from Bob Casey, SENIOR to this garbage as Governor.

Ridge, you have NO clue what got the man Trump elected ... you twits, that never stood for anything, but, your own personal gain... ‘We the people’ are NOT you’re hookers... to pimp off to the globalist comrades ...

Tom Ridge was a big disappointment, but we knew that long ago.

The democrats don’t let people in their party that would ever fail to support it’s ticket.

Vichy traitors all out in the open now.

“I wonder if Ridge is getting nervous about the crackdown on pedophiles?”

Yes. I bet he is worried they will release his formerly expunged and embarrassing criminal history.

I was my Republican party chair at that time. I can now safely and proudly say I never voted for him, left a door hangar or in any way promote him. He was hand picked as a congressman in Erie by the billionaire republican benefactor, Elsie Hillman, for the sole reason he was pro-abortion. W almost picked him for VP but the abortion issue killed it. (they say he was too much taller than W and would be bad optics). Elsie supported many Republicans for decades, but she was first and foremost pro-choice. NEVER, EVER trust someone he is pro-gay or pro-choice. Both positions are a mental defect that cannot be trusted with any authority or leadership. Sooner or later EVERY pro-choice or pro-gay person will stab you in the back. Don’t think the person you are thinking of is an exception.

The real Ridge reason:

“It was MY turn, dammit, but they didn’t even rate me in the primaries! And Trump did not pay his party dues, get in line and wait his turn!”

I believe it was Ridge who snuck a change which added homosexuals to PA non discrimination law. No public input, no review.
That he would be a pedo enabler is consistent for him.

SNL did a hilarious sketch years ago called 'Grayson Moorhead Securities'. The weaselly guy that runs the company has a similar voice to Ridge's.

Tom Ridge?
