A former Georgia lieutenant governor earned thunderous applause at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night as he slammed Donald Trump.
Geoff Duncan joked with the crowd that while he stood behind the lectern as a "Republican" — he had to get the "hard part out of the way," — he was at the opposing party's convention as an American who "cares more about the future of this country than the future of Donald Trump."
Duncan's journey, he said, began when he realized Trump would "lie, cheat and steal" to try to overturn the 2020 election.
"I realized Trump was a direct threat to democracy," he said. "And his actions disqualified him from ever, ever, ever stepping foot in the Oval Office again."

After the crowd burst into cheers, Duncan addressed disillusioned Republicans, undecided and independent voters at home who are also "sick and tired of making excuses" for the MAGA leader.
"If Republicans are being intellectually honest with ourselves, our party is not civil or conservative," he said. "It's chaotic and crazy. And the only thing left to do is dump Trump."
After even more applause — and chants of "dump Trump!" — Duncan blasted the GOP as 'behaving more like a cult."
"A cult worshipping a felonious thug," he said.
