Michigan autoworker Joseph Knowles, a visitor at President Donald Trump’s tackle to a joint session of Congress, defined why he “made a damn good choice” switching from being a lifelong Democrat to a Republican.
Throughout Trump’s tackle on Tuesday, when he honored a 13-year-old mind most cancers survivor and the mom of a 12-year-old woman who was murdered, allegedly by unlawful migrants, most Democrats remained seated. Some protested the tackle by holding indicators that learn “FALSE,” “NO king!” and “MUSK STEALS.”
“I’m very disappointed in the Democrats on how they handled things,” Knowles informed “America Reports.” “And you know what? I feel like I made a damn good choice of not voting for them anymore, and I’m very proud of how Donald Trump handled it.”
Knowles expanded on what made him change to the Republican Get together.
“[Democrats] said their agenda was for the working people, but that’s not the case,” Knowles mentioned. “They’re out-of-touch, and I can no longer support an organization or a political party like that.”
Knowles expressed his disappointment in Home and Senate Democrats for refusing to face for the households of the victims honored throughout Trump’s tackle, earlier than blasting them as “out-of-touch.”
“You know what? That just shows you how out-of-touch they are,” he mentioned. “Because this doesn’t matter if you are Republican or Democrat, or Black and White — doesn’t matter.”
“These are human lives,” Knowles continued. “Each one of them had lost someone… You know, these are the people that you said that you protect and sworn in for, but you couldn’t stand up for them. You put up signs and you highlight your interests, but these people had lost someone.”
In accordance with a Quinnipiac College ballot performed between Feb. 13 and 17, 68% of these surveyed throughout political events disapprove of the best way congressional Democrats are dealing with their job.
Knowles blamed Democrats’ “true colors” for his or her rankings and shared an optimistic imaginative and prescient for the way forward for the Republican Get together.
“I think the Democrats are just, they are killing their own selves,” Knowles mentioned.
“I got very good hope for the Republican Party. I mean, more and more people are seeing the true colors of the Democrats,” Knowles mentioned. “And it took me, I’m sorry, 20 years to see that, and I woke up. I’m very confident the American people will wake up too.”
When requested if he would rejoin the Democratic Get together, Knowles gave a powerful no.
“I’m gone forever,” he mentioned. “I’ve seen enough, and this — what I saw — this isn’t brand new. This has been going on for a long time.”
“What the TV has shown and what the world has seen, is this is how they always have handled situations like this,” he argued. “They put their agenda first, and that’s all they care about.”
Knowles described his expertise being out of a job and criticized his “union brothers” for blaming Trump for issues that “have no effect” on their lives.
“I’ve got union brothers and blue-collar workers right now that’s out of their job right now, and they blame Trump for everything,” he continued. “But they was in office for the past four years.”
After Knowles misplaced his job and received it again, males from his union who have been nonetheless out of labor needed to concentrate on Trump and produce up “the 34 felonies,” he mentioned.
“They want to bring up all the things that really, to be honest with you, have no effect on my life,” Knowles mentioned. “It has no effect on their lives. It has no effect on the Border Patrol who was shot at. It has no effect on illegal immigrants coming here and shot and killed a husband and a father. Their priorities is not aligned with ours anymore, and a lot of people are starting to see that.”
