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.

No he couldn’t. Idiots like him love the lime light more than they care about what happens to the country. He is just like every other Rino i.e. democrat.

This piece of crap. I absolutely begged him to run against Arlen Spector, worked my butt off for him the first time he ran against Spector and lost. Personally flipped 3 votes from Spector to Toomey the Saturday before he lost to Spector the first time. Supported him again when he ran against Spector in 2010 and Spector switched sides only to be stabbed in back by Schumer and lost the demo primary. Then Toomey ONLY WON reelection because of TRUMP in 2016. No polls had Toomey winning, he didn’t stand a chance in PA. Would not come to Trump rallies, tried to straddle the fence and ONLY WON because of Trump turnout in PA and yet he continued to stab Trump in the back in his second term. He would have been a one termer if not for Trump.

I am afraid that soon patriots will have to let their AR-15s do their voting for them.

Toomey would come on the WAEB radio show with Bobby Gunther Walsh and take calls from constituents, until Gunther got wise and started labeling Toomey a RINO. From then on, Toomey refused to go on the show.

Filthy traitors like Toomey and Charlie “The Midget” Dent will eventually be dealt with. He knows full well that Trump was trying to prevent the coup against his presidency. An honest investigation would have PROVED how Biden and his puppet masters stole the 2020 election.

Toomey lived in Weisenberg Township, Lehigh County. It’s likely that the gun grabbing flat head has moved on to a safer pasture (for now).

A correction is coming and the malfeasance committed by Toomey and his ilk, will be facing justice. /spit

There is a private organization that has over 1,500 verifiable, confirmed events regarding fraudulent activities stemming from the 2020 election.

Not only as an aggrieved candidate, but as the highest law enforcement officer in our government, Trump had a duty to question and protest the amount of fraud that tilted the election results.

At this point, it is absolutely undeniable that MASSIVE fraud took place.

Toomey started out at the Club for Growth a free trade lobby. Won a senate seat after Arlen Specter retired. I would hardly have called him a conservative, more just a free trader. No particular program or platform other than whatever he had to say to get elected.
Anyone who says yes, Harris would be a disaster but i’m not voting against her, is no conservative; barely qualifies as American.

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

He is in Pennsylvania so he probably didn't vote for President Trump even though that was who he selected on the ballot.

These fools and idiots who deny that election fraud exists are beyond the pale.   But then to claim that anyone who speaks out against the vote fraud is attempting to overthrow the election puts them in a special category of idiot.

We need to find wobbly political offices and vote in MAGA folks under the guise of moderation.

“When you lose an election and you try to overturn the results so that you can stay in power, you lose me.

Clearly this mentally challenged fool just believes whatever lie spews forth from the government propaganda machine called "the news media."

The evidence is out. The 2020 election was stolen, and this piece of sh*t should be more upset that the election was stolen than that Trump tried to *STOP* the overturn of the election.
