In a scathing and frightening op-ed in the Washington Post and in a video annnouncement, Miles Taylor, former number two in Trumps DHS, endorsed Joe Biden. "Given what I have experienced in the administration, I have to support Joe Biden for president, and even though I am not a Democrat, even though I disagree on key issues, I'm confident that Joe Biden will protect the country and I'm confident that he won't make the same mistakes as this president," said Taylor, explaining his decision to endorse the Democratic candidate.
Here is just a sampling of what Taylor saw while working in the Administration:
""What we saw week in and week out, and for me, after two and a half years in that administration, was terrifying, We would go in to try to talk to him about a pressing national security issue – cyberattack, terrorism threat – he wasn't interested in those things. To him, they weren't priorities."
That's right, Trump didn't care about the threats to national security. Instead he was more interested in using his office to punish immigrants and extract revenge on people he believed did not support him.
When Trump announced his intention to restart family separation, Taylor said that ""He wanted to go further and have a deliberate policy of ripping children away from their parents to show those parents they shouldn't come to the border in the first place. "He didn't want us to tell him it was illegal anymore because he knew that there were, and these were his words, he knew he had 'magical authorities".
Trump ACTUALLY wanted to physically tear children away from their parents. This is a man that the Trump Cult supports. But Trumps cruelty wasn't reserved for immigrants.
"He told us to stop giving money to people whose houses have burned down in a wildfire because he was so rageful that people in the state of California didn't support him and that politically it wasn't a base for him," Mr Taylor said.
Cut off funding for people who have lost their homes, because Trump was angry they might not have voted for him.
This is not the ramblings of a disgruntled former employee. These are the words of a man who witnessed first hand the cruelty, stupidity, and arrogance of the man in the White House. If you support him, you do not care about this country. You are a traitor. There is no need to sugar coat this. Donald Trump is a threat to the country, an amoral narcissist, and totally unfit to serve in any role in government. He belongs in jail. History will not be kind to him, or to his supporters. And neither will the rest of us. You have been warned.
