Washington The Iowa Legislature's longest-serving Republican announced Tuesday that because of President Donald Trump, he will be joining the Democratic Party, calling Trump"a poor example for the nation and particularly for our children."
State Rep. Andy McKean, who has served in both Iowa's Senate and House chambers, identified with the Republican Party for 35 years before Tuesday's announcement and is the longest-serving Republican in the state's Legislature today, according to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee. "With the 2020 president election looming on the horizon, I feel as a Republican that I need to be able to support the standard bearer of our party.
Welcome it’s about damn time someone in the GOP step away from Trumps CULT. This GOP CULT is destroying the GOP it’s morals, ethics & values.
Resign and run again as a D. Let your constituents decide.
Good riddance there are some more RINO s you can have!
'... Particularly for our children'... So he joins the party of infanticide. The Dems can have him.
Who?
Good riddens!! 😂🤣😂🤣 Trump2020Landslide
And this matters why
Country over Party along with Bill Weld , Patriots!
Not worth commenting
Good riddance
Let me see you are leaving the Republicans and joining the socialist dem. Party, whose platform is; abortion on demand and even killing the babies after birth. Allowing convicted terrorist the opportunity to vote, illegal immigrants to vote. You say POTUS is bad example wow🙊🙉🙈
I am not understanding why he, as a Republican, can't help his fellow republicans to bring back their dignity and remain a republican to bring back hope in the country's eyes that we can rely on them for Justice and righteousness.
Oh, a RINO. Ok
Good, glad this rino clown has exposed himself for what he is, an ignorant anti -American freedom hating socialist i.e. Democrat.
Term Limits!!!
Good who the hell needs him!
Another RINO shows his true colors.
...hurah for a great statesman... He puts country first before politics.
Love our President! Finally a President fighting for the USA
No great loss.
It’s about time that another Republican took a stance against Trump. Hope he wins as a Democrat. Just leaving the Republican party in whatever way, is a statement in itself. I think the U.S. would be better served if they had a third party somewhere in the middle.
Go ahead and throw in mitt romney's ass with him...
You’re just catching on to this?
This man just pulled a JohnMcCain just in a diff way❤❤
and iowas senators last term...
Moving to another party is not going to make Trump lose sleep. Remember you're dealing with a delinquent youth! The psychologists are still working hard to detect the source of the problem...
President Trump is a great man a lot better than the last President we had who was evil an anti-American wasn't even born here there is a Muslim who hates America
unless you’re backing liberal policies this in entire symbolic and selfish endeavor
Something to hide? Or maybe a spy? Kavanagh him to be safe 🤔
Bye Felicia! Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on your way out!
Never heard of him
Constantine the first Christian Roman emperor in 337, A republican becoming a democrat maybe a historical question in the future .
this guy at best is a RINO without any desire to win on policy. He only wants to look good enough to keep his job and go to the proper parties
Hahah a Rhino showing his true colors and people wonder why they have so much corruption in their state. The Dems run both sides of the aisle. The GOP in those states is complicit.
It’s good to see a politician with ethics and principles. He should be an example for the rest of the Trump Yes Persons!!!
Joining the Democrat Party and voting in favor of Democrat policies are two VERY different things. Claiming to be a Democrat, but voting in favor of Republican policies does not make one a 'Democrat.' Actions will speak louder.
Our elected officials should never be our example in this country, it starts at home and starts with the GOAT basketball player that likes to spend his time at Golden Corral
The ship must be sinking.
Loser.
See? Bone headed Democrats with insisting acquisitions are not even redeeming over their Hillary. They maybe stronger together, but union of democrats is not a funny thing.
You don’t have to join the Democratic Party, it’s ok to be republican, independent, etc. Just speaking out against 45 is enough. Soon you will hear attacks from the right against him, watch.
Good riddance are you going to kill innocent babies too?
this guy is part of the swamp. good riddance
I’m confused. If he considered his values aligned with Republicans, why not declare himself an Independent? I’m actually not confused. He picked the other majority party for funding and re-election purposes. Values mean nothing to many in Congress.
No lost !... Iowa Repres..is joining a LOSING PARTY ..WILL REGRET!
Gotta stand by your principles. Good for you, guy.
