MSNBC Interviews Ex-MAGA Supporter: ‘I Want to Apologize ... for Helping Former President Trump Divide Our Country’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MENENDEZ: “As you know, rich, we talk a lot about the permission structure that will be necessary for voters who voted for Trump to say exactly what you said, I made a mistake. I have changed my mind. I see the value in voting for Kamala Harris, even if I don’t agree with her on everything a policy position, how do you help voters who are not there yet make that commitment?”

LOGIS: “Good morning to everyone. It has been quite a week. Thank you so much for having me. I want to take a quick moment, if I may for those watching, I want to apologize to them for helping the former President Trump divide our country for more than half a decade.

It is not just enough for us to have an anti-Trump message. Those of us who are sure about the vision and the ideas, we want them to see that we are going to continue to make this case, that we want to be an inclusive campaign. I am unaware, and perhaps Michael can correct me at this point, I am unaware of any presidential campaign in the moderate modern era, that has actually invited into the big 10, in our campaign, to actively participate those who they know are going to disagree with them on certain policies and certain ideas.
