2016 Trump Voter Calls In to C-SPAN to Savagely Explain to Trump Spokeswoman Why She Won't Vote for Him Again

2016 Trump Voter Calls In to C-SPAN to Savagely Explain to Trump Spokeswoman Why She Won't Vote for Him Again
C-SPAN

Throughout the 2016 campaign, President Donald Trump painted a bleak picture of the United States that only he could fix.

Citing his experience as a businessman and dismissing his antics as something that would cease once he felt the solemnity of the Oval Office, millions of people cast their votes for Donald Trump, clenching for him an electoral college victory and subsequently the presidency.


That was nearly four years ago, and with Trump's first term almost complete, some of his 2016 voters have come to regret casting their ballot for him.

On Sunday, one of these voters called in to C-SPAN to let GOP National Spokesperson Liz Harrington know that she wouldn't be voting for Trump again in 2020.

Watch below.

The caller, who went by Rosie Ann, said:

"I feel right now that this young lady, Elizabeth, isn't strong enough and knows enough to defend a Republican Party...I did vote for Mr. Trump and, afterwards, I regretted it. Because in the beginning, if she pays attention… he has done lots of mistakes."

Rosie Ann cited Trump's 2016 claim that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue without losing any supporters, as well as his administration's response to the pandemic that's killed over 170 thousand Americans.

Harrington responded by blaming China:

"The media's not giving the President a fair shake in [the pandemic] at all. We know this is a unique situation that happened with and we know who's to blame. It's a communist regime in China. They lied to the world, they covered it up, they're still hiding critical information about patient zero and how this got out."

The call gave some Trump critics a reason to hope for a Biden victory in 2020.






Others accused Harrington of lying about Trump's record.



Harrington assured the caller that the GOP would "set the record straight" at its convention, which continues tonight.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
