WATCH: Registered Republican Tells GOP Congressman He’s Voting For Biden ‘Because I’m Christian’

A registered Republican voter told Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) on Monday that he’ll be voting for President Joe Biden in November instead of Donald Trump because he’s a Christian and cannot see himself casting a ballot for the failed one-term former president.

The comment came during a call-in segment on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal. The man, named Nick, said he was calling from Connecticut.

“I just wanted to speak with Mr. Biggs about the concept of being a Republican. And I’ve got to say, the state of this union is tremendous. We’re strong. We’re doing well.”

“And the divisiveness that I’ve seen from my party in the past 40 years has got me kind of puzzled,” he continued. “I just registered as a Republican two months ago for the fifth time, Mr. Biggs.”

“And I’m just going to leave you with this comment, and that is that I register as a Republican because I’m a conservative, and I’m going to vote for Joe Biden because I’m a Christian.”

Rather than address what the caller had said, Biggs suggested that Nick shouldn’t call himself a Republican or be a part of the GOP.

“Well, I think that’s really interesting,” Biggs remarked. “He probably should re-register as a Democrat.”

“I think if you’re not voting for Donald Trump because you think he’s not a Christian or not a moral man, I’m not going to say look at Joe Biden,” the lawmaker added. “I would just say we should all look at ourselves and see who’s casting the first stone.”

Biggs also laughingly suggested that Republicans aren’t to blame for the divisiveness seen in politics.

“I also would not say that all the division starts because of Republicans, to be frank with you. I think that’s a bit of an absurdity to say that. But anyway, he’s free to do what he wants.”

All of us registered to vote are free to do what we want, Congressman Biggs, and millions of us will cast our ballots for Joe Biden because he’s a decent human being, which is something Donald Trump will never be.

The Seditious 6: The Republicans Who Begged Trump To Pardon Them For Their Role In The Jan. 6 Coup Plot

When the history books are written, they will likely be known as the Seditious Six, the six members of Congress who wanted failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump to issue them a pardon for their role in the January 6, 2021 coup attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

As House Select Committee member Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) noted during Thursday’s hearing, the only reason someone would ask for a presidential pardon is because he or she knows they’re guilty.

These are the six Republicans named by the committee:

Videotaped testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows made the name names public.

Former White House senior adviser Eric Herschmann said it was his understanding that Gaetz wanted a pardon that would have included everything illegal he had done during his life, which likely would have included allegations that he sexually trafficked an underage girl, a crime that could potentially send him to prison for the rest of his life if he’s charged, tried, and found guilty in federal court.

Herschmann explained:

“The general tone was, we may get prosecuted because we were defensive of you know, the president’s positions on these things. The pardon that he was discussing, or that he was requesting as broad as you could describe from the beginning of, I remember he said, from the beginning of time up until today, for any and all things.”

If the Justice Department does decide to indict the six members of Congress named today prior to the November midterm election, that could sink their chances of reelection, especially for Greene, who is serving her first term and could potentially be vulnerable, especially with a high voter turnout expected in Georgia, which also has high-profile gubernatorial and Senate races on ballot.
