Anti-President Trump GOP strategist Steve Schmidt announced on Wednesday he has quit the Republican Party and will now vote for the Democrats.

Schmidt, the chief strategist for Sen. John McCain’s losing 2008 bid for the White House, jumped to his Twitter account to denounce the GOP as “indecent and immoral” for supporting Donald Trump, MSN News reported.

“29 years and nine months ago I registered to vote and became a member of The Republican Party which was founded in 1854 to oppose slavery and stand for the dignity of human life,” Schmidt tweeted on June 20.

“Today I renounce my membership in the Republican Party. It is fully the party of Trump,” he added.

Schmidt then went on a Twitter rant to attack the GOP and the nation over his disdain for Trump. The now-former Republican cited the Trump administration’s policy of zero tolerance for illegal aliens breaking U.S. immigration laws and the separation of migrants and children as the main reasons for his departure from the GOP.

“This child separation policy is connected to the worst abuse of humanity in our history,” Schmidt tweeted. “It is connected by the same evil that separated families during slavery and dislocated tribes and broke up Native American families. It is immoral and must be repudiated. Our country is in trouble. Our politics are badly broken.”

Schmidt went on to attack the Republican leadership for allowing Trump to create what he called “internment camps for babies.”

“Everyone [sic] of these complicit leaders will carry this shame through history. There [sic] legacies will be ones of well earned [sic] ignominy. They have disgraced their country and brought dishonor to the Party of Lincoln,” said the operative, who was rarely part of a winning election during his days as a GOP strategist.

Among other name-calling and proclamations, Schmidt also said the GOP has become a “danger to our democracy”:

It is corrupt, indecent and immoral. With the exception of a few Governors like Baker, Hogan and Kasich it is filled with feckless cowards who disgrace and dishonor the legacies of the party’s greatest leaders.

Season of renewal in our land is the absolute and utter repudiation of Trump and his vile enablers in the 2018 election by electing Democratic majorities. I do not say this as an advocate of a progressive agenda. I say it as someone who retains belief in DEMOCRACY and decency. — Steve Schmidt (@SteveSchmidtSES) June 20, 2018

On Ronald Reagan’s grave are these words. “ I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.” He would be ashamed of McConnell and Ryan and all the rest while this corrupt government — Steve Schmidt (@SteveSchmidtSES) June 20, 2018

I have spent much of my life working in GOP politics. I have always believed that both parties were two of the most important institutions to the advancement of human freedom and dignity in the history of the world. Today the GOP has become a danger to our democracy and values. — Steve Schmidt (@SteveSchmidtSES) June 20, 2018

This Independent voter will be aligned with the only party left in America that stands for what is right and decent and remains fidelitous to our Republic, objective truth, the rule of law and our Allies. That party is the Democratic Party. — Steve Schmidt (@SteveSchmidtSES) June 20, 2018
