Former MAGA adherent Rich Logis says more and more Americans are getting turned off by the sheer overtness of President Donald Trump’s corruption and self-enrichment.
His confession arrived on the heels of an MS NOW anchor comparing Trump’s modern Republican Party to the corruption-obsessed Republican Party of the Clinton years, wherein the Republican Congress dedicated four years of investigation to President Bill Clinton’s Whitewater scandal. That incident involved Clinton incorporating the Whitewater Development Corporation with the purpose of building vacation properties while Clinton was state governor.
“It literally dictated the Republican policy on Capitol Hill for much of the 90s. That [scandal] was only in the tens of thousands of dollars. This is an over $1 billion,” said the anchor, describing Trump’s demand for a $1.7 billion fund to settlement over his IRS complaint. “It looks like a total carve out and giveaway to Donald Trump. This 1.7 billion settlement would have no oversight. It's essentially a slush fund giveaway to whoever he wants.”
“Well, let me just preface by apologizing to viewers for my past MAGA activism and my support of Donald Trump,” said Logis founder of Leaving MAGA. “When Trump ran, I fell for the lies that he would drain the swamp and would root out corruption. And he was correct in pointing out the graft and the fraud and the abuse. But what he has done is he has continued to enrich himself and his own family at the expense of the American people.”
“I realized that Trump was lying and that I had allowed myself to believe these lies, which eventually led to my leaving MAGA. And I think that there are more people than ever who are in the MAGA community who right now are having doubts about their support for Donald Trump,” Logis added.
Logis then addressed other MAGA members “having doubts.”
“You're not alone,” said Logis. “And for those who might be seeing this, who right now are starting to question their beliefs, who are starting to perhaps feel confused and wondering if the MAGA movement comports with their values anymore. We want them to know that they're not alone.”
