A former Republican congressman appeared on MSNBC on Monday night to stump for Democratic presumptive nominee Kamala Harris "the only person who can keep [Donald Trump] out of the White House.Speaking to host Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary from 2021-22, former Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh blasted the MAGA leader as a "horrible human being." "He lies as he breathes. He doesn't give a damn about anybody but himself. He's utterly un-American. He's a sociopath. He's a psychopath. He's incapable of bringing people together," an empathic Walsh told Psaki.Walsh added that he believes Trump's goal is to "beat this party down" until people still in the GOP are "on their knees pledging to him every day."

"And there's a great opportunity here to convince Republicans that Kamala Harris is American. Kamala Harris supports Democracy and the rule of law. So come on! Stand up now!"Leading to his credibility, Walsh said, is that he's a weird guy."I come from MAGA. I voted for Trump in 2016. I'm a reformed MAGA gang-banger. I still talk to these folks every single day," he said.Walsh said he tells Republicans they have the opportunity to "quite literally save this experiment," referring to democracy. "You're right, Jen. It's not about policy. And I say that over and over."Walsh has criticized Trump in the past, even going so far as labeling Trump in June as a "traitor." Watch the clip below or at this link.
