Former Democrat Rep. Peter Deutsch Endorses Trump, Says ‘World Peace’ is ‘Driving Force’ for His Support
Breitbart ^ | 7 Oct 2024 | Nick Gilbertson

Former Rep. Peter Deutsch (D-FL) announced on Monday that he is “100 percent comfortable” endorsing former President Donald Trump, with a desire for “world peace” as the “driving force” for his support.

Deutsch revealed his endorsement on a press call with the Trump Campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) regarding the first anniversary of Hamas’s terrorist attack on Israel.

“I feel very comfortable today publicly announcing that I’m endorsing Donald Trump to be reelected as president. I’m planning on voting for him on November 5, and I take this decision very, very seriously. I also feel 100% comfortable with the decision,” he said.

While Deutsch, who represented Florida’s 20th Congressional District from 1993-2005, noted that many factors go into choosing a presidential candidate to support and that he is more comfortable with Trump’s positions on immigration and school choice, he said peace is the premier motivator when deciding his vote.

“By far, the driving force for me to make this decision is what I believe is the most important factor in being president, the most important job of being president, which is really world peace,” Deutsch said.

He said Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden’s Iran policies are making the “world a dramatically less safe place.”

He further noted that Iran has included Trump, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former National Security Adviser John Bolton in assassination plots.

“And this is the country that the Biden administration and Kamala Harris are effectively defending today — not yesterday — today. They continue to defend them,” he added.

May help counterbalance the aging movie stars and beauty contest losers who want Kamala for whirled peas.

This is something!
Very surprising!
I remember him as quite vocal partisan.

Just think about it; if Biden was not supplying arms to Ukraine and Israel both would be driven to end their hospitalities and sue for peace.

In Israel the US is really supplying funds to both sides.

It is the Military Industrial Complex that is driving both of these wars. Record profits as always.

He is perhaps a realist and knows that Komy-La and Walz do not have a chance in a fair and open election.

Of course the Democrats will cheat but he also knows that everyone who is honest with themselves knows that the last election was stolen and this election will be watched with an intensity unparalleled.

Harris is highly unlikely to win so it is better to be on the winning side when you are on the outside looking in.

He wants to get back in the game and he doesn’t care which side he is on.

He is an opportunist that sees an opportunity.

Just my opinion

There will be NO “peace” in the Mid-East until Islam changes its ENTIRE belief system — undergoes a “Reformation,” if you will!

Moslems are raised to hate Jews, and until they decide to quit hating Jews (and other Infidels), there will be constant warfare.

Israel has tried to negotiate with Moslems, to no avail, since 1947!

Mohammed hated Jews; Moslems follow his example!

I don't believe that a 'Reformation' of Islam that would make it possible for it to coexist with other faiths is possible.

For that to happen it would have to abandon the article of faith that Islam must subdue the world by force of arms if necessary.
