Now wait for Trump to call her all kinds of names.
Second Texas Judge Leaves The Republican Party In The Age Of Donald Trump
“In short, my family values, my Christian value, my core beliefs have been disenfranchised by my party’s nominee for president.”
Lauren Parish, a six-term district judge in Upshur County, Texas, is leaving the Republican Party, becoming the second judge in the state to bail on the GOP in recent weeks.
In her
announcement, Parish goes after the Donald Trump for making “a mockery of our country and our citizenry.” From her video announcement:
I have watched in horror as he has disavowed our military heroes, made fun of the disabled, divided our country along racial, religious and gender lines, mocked the judicial branch of government, expounded untruth after untruth, promoted violence and disrespect, boasted about sexual assault against women, and made vitriol the platform of his campaign.
In short, my family values, my Christian value, my core beliefs have been disenfranchised by my party’s nominee for president. Therefore, after much thought and deliberation I have come to the decision that it would violate my conscience to continue to be a member of the Republican Party.
