"Voted for the president, supported him, but I really want to apologize," John said. "I mean, I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. All this man does is tell lies. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist."

"This is not a decent man," he added. "This is not an honest man. He openly takes bribes. He's pathetic as a president. And I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man."

C-SPAN host Greta Brawner wondered if the man voted for Trump in all three presidential elections.

"I did," he admitted. "I was sucked into the stupidity of creating jobs. And there are no more jobs in New Mexico. Things are worse than they were before."

There must be a path to redemption, and this man appears to be on it.

I actually agree. He wiped off his clown make-up.

It's sad it took this long, but if enough people have this kind of realization, then the country may still heal. It's one less person squabbling with others in the same class, and I'm led to believe that is what the ruling class fears most.
