Make no mistake: Former Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL) is a Republican.<\/p>\n
He was a prominent figure of the Tea Party, he pushed conspiracy theories that former President Barack Obama was from Kenya, and even appeared to promote violent insurrection should then-candidate Donald Trump lose the 2016 presidential race.<\/p>\n
Walsh is by no means a moderate, yet he's one of the few Republicans who has publicly and loudly called Trump out over the past couple of years. <\/p>\n
He even issued an apology for helping elect Trump last year.<\/p>\n
Last summer, Walsh announced that he would be challenging Trump in the 2020 election for President. With Trump's approval rating high within the Republican Party, it was always a longshot and Walsh ended his campaign last week. <\/p>\n
That hasn't stopped him from urging voters of all political persuasions to vote for the Democratic nominee, no matter who that person ends up being.<\/p>\n
Days after Walsh said he'd rather have a socialist than a dictator in the White House, he posted a tweet urging Conservatives to pledge their vote to the yet-to-be-determined Democratic nominee.<\/p>\n
Walsh stressed that \"ALL OF US\" must come together to stop Trump from serving a second term. <\/p>\n
Even with Walsh's conventionally far-Right stances, much of his warnings against Trump have fallen on deaf ears among his fellow Republicans, leading him to refer to the party as \"a cult.\"<\/p>\n
He recently implored a Republican crowd to reject Trump, saying:<\/p>\n
At which point the crowd began cheering and chanting \"four more years.\"<\/p>\n
Watch below.<\/p>\n
But at least some people seem to be heeding Walsh's plea for Conservatives and Libertarians to take his pledge.<\/p>\n
That staunch Republican Joe Walsh went from MAGA to endorsing any Democratic candidate running against Trump illustrated the tumult Trump has imposed on the country after only three years.<\/p>\n
It will take a massive voter turnout to have a hope of defeating Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
