Related: About this forumFormer U.S. Attorney Republican Marcos Daniel Jiminez ditches GOP
"...make no mistake... you now clearly belong to the party of hate..."Marcos Daniel Jiménez, a former U.S attorney appointed by President George W. Bush, rescinded his Republican Party membership Monday night in a private Facebook post claiming the partys core principles had been hijacked by an unstable leader.
I have decided that I will no longer be associated in any way with a party that is led by a bigoted, dangerous demagogue and that has become a party dominated by fear, anger and hate, said the status, first reported by Politico.
In the post, Jiménez appeared to take a shot at GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. Republicans should make no mistake about this, he wrote. You now clearly belong to the party of hate you are supporting a strongman who believes all of that.
