Officials associated with the administration of President George W. Bush say they are abandoning the Republican Party because of its refusal to repudiate former President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.
At least 60 former Bush administration officials are said to be upset with elected members of the party who won’t or don’t agree with the narrative that Trump’s claims of election fraud sparked the riot, which is being characterized by Democrats and some Republicans as an “insurrection.”
