A longtime MAGA ally has furiously flipped on Donald Trump and called for his impeachment after the president threatened to go to war with Iran.
Podcaster Dave Smith, a frequent guest on the popular Joe Rogan show, apologized for endorsing Trump in the presidential election as he fumed over the potential outbreak of war.
‘I supported him, I apologize for doing so,’ Smith said on an appearance on Breaking Points. ‘He should be impeached and removed.’
Smith cited Trump’s isolationist platform for his reason for supporting him, and pointed to the president’s remarks that he ‘may’ strike Iran and assassinate its leader.
‘This is an absolute betrayal of everything that he ran and campaigned on—and everything he has stood for,’ Smith said.
‘He is going to lose his coalition over this.’
Smith’s condemnation of Trump’s handling of the Israel – Iran conflict joins a growing chorus of his supporters who have broken ranks and urged the president not to go to war.
