Republican presidential hopeful Joe Walsh announced the end to his 2020 campaign Friday, during an interview with CNN. “Look, I got into this because I thought it was really important that there was a Republican out there everyday calling out this president for how unfit he is,” Walsh said.

Joe Walsh calls the GOP a "cult": "(Trump's) a threat to this country. He can't be stopped within the Republican party. … The conservative media world, Fox News and all the rest wouldn't give me the time of day. … They bow down in front of their king" https://t.co/ff5IuwAZzg pic.twitter.com/5EkjDcSokm — CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) February 7, 2020

He continued, “I wanna stop Trump. I believe he’s a threat to this country. He can’t be stopped within the Republican party, nobody can beat him. It’s Trump’s party, John. It’s not a party, It’s a cult.”

On November 8th, I'm voting for Trump. On November 9th, if Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket. You in? — Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) October 26, 2016

Walsh is a conservative radio show host and former Republican congressman from Illinois, who was part of the Tea Party conservative movement. Then, he wasn’t fighting Trump. In fact, in 2016 Walsh shared on Twitter that he planned to vote for Trump saying, “On November 8th, I’m voting for Trump. On November 9th, if Trump loses, I’m grabbing my musket. You in?”
