American businessman and politician from Virginia Former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-Va.) says he quit the Republican Party because the GOP has veered away from conservative principles and toward conspiracy theories and a cult of personality devoted to former President Donald Trump.
“I think the party left me some time ago,” Riggleman told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, adding that he quit due to the GOP’s “belief systems.”

Good riddance. Take the rest of the Parasitic RINOs with you, you worthless scumbag.
Guy is pretty much a joke here in VA - good riddance.
“If you’re going on CNN to whine to Fake Tapper then you’re not much of a conservative to begin with.”
POST OF THE DAY!
Another shambling unregenerate cult follower in search of a REAL cult to join, as Donald J. Trump has failed to provide the comfort of blind obedience to a “Great Savior”, by insisting that people start to think for themselves, and not just mindlessly “go with the flow”.
One of the hallmarks of “Trumpism”, the MAGA movement, was a call to individual freedom and economic prosperity. This is a frightening thought for those who are rigidly conformist, and tremble at the thought of actually taking responsibility for their own lives. Where’s the safety net in that?
The fact is, most safety nets are largely illusionary, if merit is not taken into account. There is no incentive to excel if the outcome is more or less the same regardless of enthusiasm or ingenuity, and people end up working at far below their potential.
Some people just do not understand the nuance of the situation, and make the wrong interpretation every time.
GOOD RIDDANCE !!!
So what does he plan to do? Join AOC?
The difference between a deep state conservative and deep state liberal used to be that deep state conservatives wanted to advance the deep state and a slightly slower pace than deep state Democrats. That distinction is now getting awfully blurry.
Why does everyone have to have dirt on everyone?
This snakes are showing their true colors.
Plain and simple
Bush League Republicans were always Assistant Democrats.
Some of them are taking off their R jerseys.
Plenty of them are stilling wearing them and pretending to represent us.
Certainly been getting a lot of air time recently.

Me neither. Should we pay more attention to him?
The Trump Era has forced a lot of these RINOS out of hiding and many of these fools turn out to be not very conservative at all!
I understand that but I stand by what I said.
We need fewer Republicans (of that ilk).
He’ll be happier with democrats... glad he’s gone.
Maybe all the Bushes would be much happier if they had been Democrat from the start.
I know I would be.
We have three parties. The RAT, the GOP, and the MAGA. I don’t think the GOP is “us” any more at all.
Central Virginia. He was my daughter’s rep. He was replaced by Bob Good, who is.
