‘He betrayed the nation’: Judge Luttig slams Trump, hopes Americans ‘come to their senses’

Polls indicate that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris remain in a deadlocked race for the presidency, but for some people the choice is crystal clear. “I hope Americans come to their senses,” former federal judge J. Michael Luttig tells Ali Velshi. He excoriates Trump for his disqualifying conduct before, during, and after his presidency. “The question is whether Donald Trump is fit, and he is not,” says Luttig. “When he was entrusted with the presidency before, he betrayed the nation.”

Thank God for Judge Luttig! He has been a voice of great clarity, unshakeable faith in our constitution & unwavering commitment to our democracy! It is rare to find someone with such a clear moral compass..he has been helping us steer thru the morass of lies, false truths & posturing of those who switch their values on the turning of the wind. Thank you Ari, for allowing him to speak uninterrupted. ❤️
