Former GOP senator says he won’t vote for Trump or Harris
The Hill ^ | 09/03/24 10:55 AM ET | by Alexander Bolton

Former Sen. Pat Toomey (R), who represented the key state of Pennsylvania for 12 years in the Senate, says he won’t vote for former President Trump or Vice President Harris in November’s election.

Toomey noted during an interview on CNBC that he voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 but can’t bring himself to support Trump again because of his efforts to overturn the results of the last presidential election.

“When you lose an election and you try to overturn the results so that you can stay in power, you lose me. You lose me at that point,” Toomey said during a contentious back-and-forth exchange with “Squawk Box” host Joe Kernen.

Toomey acknowledged he doesn’t support Harris, the Democratic nominee, and views many of her policies as economically disastrous.

Toomey, who retired from the Senate at the end of 2022, was one of seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict Trump at his second impeachment trial on the charge of inciting an insurrection against the United States.

Ask him if Nicolas Maduro won the Venezuela election after 80% of the acta (precinct tabulations) were published showing a 2-to-1 landslide win for Maduro’s opponent.

He could have just kept his mouth shut even if he wasn’t going to vote for Trump. Fu*king traitor. I hate politicians like him.

He may not support Harris, but he’ll still vote for her.

He needs a few Cornel West signs and bumper stickers.

Think of just how many embedded globalist, RINO spies in our party have outed themselves because of Trump.

Neither the pre-Trump GOP nor the Democrat Party want the “pesky” people deciding the direction of government.

People that say this stuff are liars. They just are too chicken to openly support a candidate.

Yes, but this way he gets to appear on mainstream media as an official "respectable conservative."

I remember when we thought Toomey was a welcome change after Arlen “Not Proven” Specter. He’s seems to have made his mission to disprove that again and again.

A-hole pretty much gave his Senate seat to the Democrats.

There’s a reason he’s a former senator.

Toomey, you never were very bright. But let me straighten you out on this one issue: Trump did not try to overturn the results of the last presidential election. Biden/Nobama DID overturn the results. Trump was trying to overturn their fraud.

Now go back into hiding and keep your mouth shut, Toomey.

The problem is that the open-borders, globalist Republicans are now without a party.

Maybe if they join the D’s they can bring the D’s back from the cultural insanity that dominates that party now.

But they have no place in the modern Republican party.
