Trump Supporter Tells CNN Ex-President Is Unfit for Office – ‘But I’m Voting for Him’

CNN interviewed several residents of Roberts County, Texas for a Tuesday night segment about GOP voters who are displeased with Donald Trump’s moral character, but who still plan to vote for the former president.

“Kay and Ron Swart settle in along with us in their living room to watch coverage of the Trump jury selection,” began national correspondent Gary Tuchman.

“They’ve both voted for Trump twice,” Tuchman added, before asking the couple, “What is your feeling today about Donald Trump’s moral character?”

“It’s terrible. I can’t get much lower than it is,” Kay replied.

Tuchman then noted, “They live on a hilltop ranch in Roberts County, in the Texas Panhandle, where 96% of the voters chose Trump over Joe Biden 2020. The highest Trump percentage of any county in America.”

Kay added of Trump, “He continues to make crazy comments about being a dictator’s first day and repercussions against people who he feels have wronged him.”

“We met this couple during a visit to Roberts County last year. They told us then they liked Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis, but with Trump, the only Republican left standing. Things have gotten complicated. If Donald Trump is found guilty of one of these crimes, whether it’s a mistrial happening right now or one of the trial’s future, do you think he’s fit to be president of the United States?” Tuchman followed up.

Kay replied without hesitation, “I don’t think he’s fit, but I’m voting for him.”

Tuchman played some other interviews he conducted with Roberts Country residents who offered similar sentiments. He noted a throughline in all of his interviews, “In Roberts County, the current president is often prominently mentioned when you ask questions about the former president.”

“As wrong as it’s going to be to have him for president, he’s still going to be a lot better president for the United States than what we’ve gotten with Joe Biden and the Democrats,” concluded Ron Swart.
