Rich Logis, a former voter for former President Trump, appeared in a video message broadcast to the Democratic National Convention on Monday night to say that the COVID-19 pandemic showed him how Trump was “lying about pretty much everything.”
“I believed Trump,” he said. “When the pandemic hit, we needed leadership, but we were given almost nothing. It was a major betrayal to the country.”
Logis described himself as a “full-fledged member of MAGA” and encouraged fellow voters that there was still time to change their minds about whom to cast a ballot for in November.
“I finally stepped outside the MAGA echo chamber, I stopped listening to what Trump said, and looked around [with] my own eyes, and I realized he had been lying about pretty much everything. Lying is Trump’s toxic superpower.”
Democrats are using how Trump handled the COVID-19 pandemic to cast the former president as unfit for another term in the White House.
“This is my message to all the Republicans and independents who are watching people like me [who] voted for, believed in Trump. I made a grave mistake, but it’s never too late to change your mind.”
