A former high-ranking deputy to Vice President Mike Pence is pledging to vote for Joe Biden and has broken with President Trump, saying the president “doesn’t actually care about anyone but himself.”
Olivia Troye was a lifelong Republican who served as the top-ranking Pence staffer on the administration’s Covid-19 response, but she says what she saw from Trump made supporting him impossible. “I truly believe we are at a time of constitutional crisis,” she says in a video released Thursday by a group of anti-Trump Republicans. “At this point, it’s country over party.”
The truth is he doesn’t actually care about anyone else but himself. He made a statement once. It was very striking. I never forgot it, because it pretty much defined who he was. When we were on a task force meeting, the president said, “Maybe this covid thing is a good thing. I don’t like shaking hands of people. I don’t have to shake hands with these ‘disgusting’ people.” Those disgusting people are the same people that he claims to care about. These are the people still going to his rallies today who have complete faith in who he is.
