Luttig stated within the Occasions piece that he’s “70 years old and I have always voted for the Republican candidates for president because I never doubted they would honor their sacred obligations to our democracy and our Constitution.”
“I have never doubted the Democratic candidates for the presidency would honor their obligations, either,” he continued. “But today, I do not recognize the Republican Party that I have known across my lifetime. It is not the Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln or Ronald Reagan and neither is it conservative, as that term has been inspiringly invoked by conservatives since the founding.”
