Former GOP congressman Joe Walsh says he wants to “apologize for the role that I played in putting an unfit conman in the White House.”
Washington Former Republican Rep. Joe Walsh is calling for a primary challenger to take on President Donald Trump in 2020, as he is reckoning with his past controversial comments and apologizing for his role in helping elect an"unfit con man" to the presidency.
"If Republicans don't stand up right now and challenge this guy right now, he's bad for the party. He's bad for the country. We're going to get wiped out in 2020," Walsh said Thursday in an interview on CNN's"New Day," echoing his recent op-ed in the New York Times.Walsh, now a conservative radio host, said he voted for Trump in 2016, but only because he wasn't Hillary Clinton.
