Republican 'unimpressed' with Trump town hall response confirms no vote for MAGA

17 October 2024

A Republican who called out Donald Trump during a town hall hosted by Univision this week over the ex-president's "inaction" on the brink of the Covid-19 pandemic — as well as on January 6, has confirmed he will not vote for the GOP nominee, The Daily Beast reports.

"I want to give you the opportunity to try to win back my vote," Ramiro González, a 56-year-old construction worker, told Trump. "Your action, and maybe inaction, during your presidency, and the last few years, sort of, was a little disturbing to me. What happened on January 6, and the fact that you waited so long to take action while your supporters were attacking the Capitol.

Coronavirus — I thought the public was misled during the coronavirus, and many more lives could have been saved if we would have been informed better. And also people in your administration who don't support you. I'm curious how so many people who were in your administration no longer want to support you. So, why would I want to support you? Your own vice president doesn't want to support you now."

Trump replied claiming that "about 97 percent of the people in the administration" support him.

"The vice president, I disagree with him on what he did," the former president continued, referring to ex-Vice President Mike Pence's decision to certify the election results on January 6, despite Trump demanding he overturn the election.

The Beast reports, "González, who’d grown visibly unimpressed as Trump spoke, furrowing his brow and shaking his head, told Univision in a Spanish-language interview after the town hall that he was 'not going to vote for Trump.'"
