Trump has the ‘moral compass’ of an ‘ax murderer’: Former Georgia GOP Lieutenant Governor tears into ex-president and begs Republicans NOT to choose him as the 2024 nominee

Georgia’s former Republican lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan said Monday that former President Donald Trump has the “moral compass” of an “axe killer.”

Duncan, who left office in January, was on CNN to discuss the latest legal drama out of Georgia, which saw former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows try to get his case moved to federal court.

While on the air, Duncan implored members of his own party not to elect Trump as the party’s nominee, claiming that the ex-president had “committed crime from coast to coast for more than two years.”

“As a Republican, the dashboard goes off with lights and bells and whistles telling us all the warning things we need to know,” Duncan said. Ninety-one indictments, bogus Republicans, $8 trillion in debt.

“Everything we need to see not to choose him as our nominee, including the fact that he has the moral compass that looks more like an ax murderer than a president,” Duncan added.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins had pointed to a passage in Meadows’ memoir where the former top White House official said his job was to “tell the most powerful man in the world when you believed he was wrong.”

“But I mean, is it clear that Meadows didn’t do that when it was probably most important here?” she asked Duncan.

Meadows hadn’t slammed the brakes when Trump spouted the so-called “big lie” — that he had won the election but was being robbed of a second term because of widespread voter fraud.

The former White House chief of staff and North Carolina congressman is seeking to take his Georgia election interference case to federal court, arguing that he was fulfilling the duties of a federal official.

Meadows, Trump and 17 others were charged with crimes related to an attempt to overturn the results of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.

“Well he must have whispered it in his ear and not said it out loud because I’ve certainly never seen any examples of him standing up to Donald Trump or the ridiculous nature of where this is going,” Duncan said of the claims of Meadows. delivering hard talk to Trump.

Duncan also said the election interference cases are playing out “like some kind of Ponzi scheme” and that the defendants’ apologies are “all technicalities.”

“The reality is no one doubles down on the facts, right?” he added.

Not only will the legal grounds be challenging, Duncan surmised, but it will also interfere with Trump’s efforts to run for president — as his session dates interrupt the flow of the primaries and the general election calendar.

“If you have four trials to compete on a calendar, you can’t skip certain days because it’s your birthday or skip certain days because you have a nail appointment, can you?” Duncan said. “You’re going to have to face the music and that’s really what’s going on here.”

He warned that if the party did not separate from Trump, it could be “game over.”

“We have to do something here now. This is either our pivot point or our last gasp as Republicans,” Duncan said.
