Washington Rep. Congressman Dave Reichart says he won’t vote for Donald Trump in the wake of his “comments and blatant disrespect for women.”

He says that Trump has lost his vote due to his comments in a video from 2005 recently shared by the Washington Post.

“As a son, husband, father and grandfather I am appalled by Donald Trump’s comments and blatant disrespect for women,” Reichert writes in his statement. “The actions described in that video are absolutely reprehensible.”

Yet another poser. I rarely tell anyone who I vote for. It’s nobodies business. But when a pol such as the 20 or 25 percent that are not voting the party ticket make grandstanding announcements regarding who is or is not getting their votes it is a definite move to garner favor because they are shallow minded.

“I’m a conservative (no, don’t look at my voting record) and I was going to vote for Trump (no don’t check to see if I ever publicly endorsed him) but after this new random hysteria, I would rather vote for a criminal who wants to dismantle the constitution and go to war with Russia to support ISIS and take my guns than for a guy who talked dirty 11 years ago”

BS

The guy’s part of the Cheap Labor Express... he doesn’t give a damn about anything else...

“...we also can’t ignore the fact that those who came here illegally are real people with real stories and families, searching for the American Dream. There must be a process for these men, women, and children to be able to earn the right to live here legally and to do so without fear. “

Reichert is perfect for WA. He’s another democrat mole in republican garb. Truth to tell, Trump never had his vote and he’s just preening for the masses.

Good catch. I think all the Republicans who are after Trump are part of the cheap labor express.

I just sent an email to him, stating no vote for Trump generates a no vote for him.

reichert lost my vote last cycle. As far as I am concerned he can FOAD. Same to Bryant - same to Vance. This is going to make filling out my ballot easy!

I’m still looking for the list

Is this guy slow or something?

Must have wore a helmet and rode the short bus to school....

[apocalypto]

This is such a stupid comment by Dave Reichert. Pedophiles, terrorist, and sociopaths are considered by many "real people with real stories and families." And yes, they too search for the "American Dream" by acts of evil.

Essentially he is saying that illegals are above the law, being "real people" they do not need to follow the laws to live her "legally."

[CDB]

I’m going to send him an email and give him a piece of my mind. I suspect that my discussions with his staff may not have been passed along yesterday and/or Ryan got to him.

I am TICKED!!!

Reichert also Heroically" voted with the Democrats on cap and trade. If he won't vote for Trump or Hillary, who will he vote for? The Green Party candidate? The "Pothead?"

[Mama Shawna]

He just lost my vote. I have held my nose and voted for him for years. No more.

[rockrr]

Dave Reichert - the “hero” of the Seattle WTO riots ran as a law & order conservative but has consistently voted as a moderate to middle-left congresscritter. I used to send him letters (the old fashioned kind!) expressing my concerns at his positions and never once received a response (I’ve even gotten replies by the dhimmicrat Murray!).

I’m SO done with him!

[Seattle Conservative]

I’m with you. I figured that he’s the best we could do in the Seattle metro area with all of the liberals, and at least he would side with the Pubbies at times and we could keep the House and get some things through. NO MORE! He can go suck eggs.

[trebb]

He only has a 34% Sierra Club rating - are there actually and Conservative in office in WA?????

I live in Covington Washington and I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR DAVE REICHART.

Any Republican Candidate that is running for office in Washington State that publicly says they will not vote for The Republican Nominee Donald Trump, is supporting Clinton for President and will not earn my vote.

It is a bit different if a Candidate says they don’t like what Trump said, but we can’t have Clinton be President.

There will no doubt be 3-5 Supreme Court Nominees in the next four years that will shape the court for the rest of my life. I’m 51.

Dave Reichart will not get my vote and I will probably vote for myself as a write in Candidate...

And Mark Hargove actually knocked on my door two weeks ago asking for my vote. Wa State 47th district. I didn’t ask him if he supports Trump, but I think I’ll call his office and find out.

This could very well be the last election that really matters to protect the Constitution, and if they don’t see that and pander towards the left, they will not get my vote.
