Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is calling on conservatives not to let Donald Trump become the Republican Party's presidential nominee again.
Duncan, who called Trump a “fake Republican” during an appearance on CNN on Monday, compared the former president's values to those of an axe murderer. (RELATED: Trump Drops Legal Bombshell – Hours Before Surrender)

“As a Republican, the dashboard is going off with lights and bells and whistles telling us all the warning things we need to know,” he said in the interview, noting the 91 criminal charges Trump faces from various probes in New York, Georgia and by the federal government, and the fact that Trump contributed to the national debt while in office.
“Everything we need to see to not choose him as our nominee, including the fact that he's got the moral compass of more like an axe murderer than a president,” Duncan continued. “We need to do something right here right now. This is either our pivot point or last gasp as Republicans.”
Duncan testified before a Fulton County grand jury in the racketeering case brought against Trump and 18 co-defendants for their alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. As the lieutenant governor during that contest, Duncan was outspoken in defense of the state's election integrity and fought back against Trump's false claims that he had won the state's electoral votes. Duncan is also a CNN political commentator.
The Hill noted that Duncan also addressed Trump's all too familiar legal strategy to delay cases for as long as possible. The former president's latest airing of grievances revolve around his scheduled trial dates and where they fall in the Republican presidential primaries.
Duncan pushed back on complaints about the court schedule in the next several months, saying, “When you have four trials to have to compete with on a calendar, you're not gong to be able to skip certain days because it's your birthday or skip certain days because you got a nail appointment. You're going to have to actually go face the music, and that's really what's playing out here.”
