NextImg:Trump has moral compass closer to ‘ax murderer’ than president: Former Georgia official

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan claimed on Monday night that former President Donald Trump has a moral compass that is more like an "axe murderer" than a president and urged Republicans not to select him as their nominee.

Duncan, who was Georgia's lieutenant governor during the 2020 election when the former president allegedly attempted to overturn the results of the presidential election, said Republicans needed to act immediately and not send Trump back to the White House.

“As Republicans, that dashboard is going off with lights and bells and whistles, telling us all the warning things we need to know,” Duncan told CNN. “Ninety-one indictments, fake Republican, a trillion dollars worth of debt, everything we need to see to not choose him as our nominee, including the fact that he’s got the moral compass ... more like an ax murderer than a president. We need to do something right here, right now. This is either our pivot point or our last gasp as Republicans.”

Duncan said Trump's indictment list reads like a "Ponzi scheme of lies" from a "two-year crime spree." Trump faces indictments in Georgia, Florida, Washington, D.C., and New York. The former president's indictment in Georgia was the latest case and centers on 13 racketeering and conspiracy charges. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in all four cases.

“When you have four trials to have to compete with on a calendar, you’re not gonna be able to skip certain days because it’s your birthday or skip certain days because you’ve got a nail appointment, right?" Duncan said. “You’re going to have to actually go face the music.”

The comments come as other Republicans, including 2024 challenger and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, have expressed concern over Trump's ability to defeat President Joe Biden if he is the nominee as trial dates fill his schedule. Trump's Washington, D.C., trial is expected to start in March, the day before Super Tuesday.

“I think for Republican voters, the biggest thing they have to look at now is that we’re going to have a guy running for president who, from March 4 probably for the next four to six weeks, will be every day in a courtroom in Washington, D.C., and not campaigning against Joe Biden,” Christie told CNN on Monday. “This is disastrous for the Republican Party."

Trump's trial date in Georgia has not been set yet, but Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis initially wanted her court case on March 4, the same day as the Washington, D.C., case. Trump also has a state criminal case in New York slated for trial on March 25.
