      This was his speech at the DNC tonight. I saw it. This was also for a republican who lost his seat due to agreeing with the Jan 6th committee that trump should be impeached and prosecuted for inciting an attempted coup. That cost him his re-election.

      He may be a republican, but he’s been anti-trump and has put his money where his mouth is, so to speak.

      His speech was very fair and rousing. He’s a good orator, and he’s been criticizing trump for many years.

        I’m not doubting that he said or believes these things. The point is this one guy does not define the soul of the GOP. by all means, trot him out there to sway independents, but let’s not act like the GOP was some paragon of virtue before trump came along.

          Exactly. Adam is the guy in the corner of room calling out the psychopath on stage who’s being defied by the audience. It’s still a conference for people who want to make the richest richer at the cost of everyone else
