[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9C2NGMQRAMZM/en/why-a-lifelong-republican-voter-says-he-s-leaving-the-party) I would not support the Republican Party.

[0:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9C2NGMQRAMZM/en/why-a-lifelong-republican-voter-says-he-s-leaving-the-party?t=1) There's no chance I would support the Republican Party.

[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9C2NGMQRAMZM/en/why-a-lifelong-republican-voter-says-he-s-leaving-the-party?t=3) I'm not going to support the Democratic Party.

[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9C2NGMQRAMZM/en/why-a-lifelong-republican-voter-says-he-s-leaving-the-party?t=5) I don't know what I'm going to do. But at this point, you know, how could you support, how could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9C2NGMQRAMZM/en/why-a-lifelong-republican-voter-says-he-s-leaving-the-party?t=18) Like, that's, you know, it's not possible to vote for people like that, and I'm not going to.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9C2NGMQRAMZM/en/why-a-lifelong-republican-voter-says-he-s-leaving-the-party?t=23) And I think I voted Republican my entire life.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9C2NGMQRAMZM/en/why-a-lifelong-republican-voter-says-he-s-leaving-the-party?t=26) I worked at Fox News, CNN, MSNBC. I've been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9C2NGMQRAMZM/en/why-a-lifelong-republican-voter-says-he-s-leaving-the-party?t=35) I mean, very consistent defender. But there's no defending this because it's immoral, and it's exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9C2NGMQRAMZM/en/why-a-lifelong-republican-voter-says-he-s-leaving-the-party?t=50) And they're not doing that. So, no, I'm out.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9C2NGMQRAMZM/en/why-a-lifelong-republican-voter-says-he-s-leaving-the-party?t=52) And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out.
