A group of former United States senior intelligence and national security officials, who support the Republican Party, launched today (august 21.2020) a campaign to deny Donald Trump a second term as president.
Calling itself Former Republican National Security Officials for Biden, the group
launched its high-profile campaign with a
full-time ad in the business broadsheet
The Wall Street Journal.
The ad is signed by 73 members and
supporters of the Republican Party, who served in senior intelligence
and national security posts under presidents Donald Trump, George W.
Bush, George H.W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan. The list of signatories
includes former Air Force Secretary Mike Donley, former National
Counterterrorism Center Director Michael Leiter, former Director of
National Intelligence John Negroponte, and former Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) Director General Michael Hayden. William Webster, who
served as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the CIA,
and Elizabeth Neumann, former assistant secretary of Homeland Security,
also signed the ad.
The text of the ad accuses the US
president of corruption and lambasts him for lacking “the character and
competence to lead this nation” in a time of crisis. It argues that
Trump is “unfit to serve as president” because he “solicited foreign
influence”, “disparaged [the US] armed forces, intelligence agencies,
and diplomats”, and “imperiled America’s security”. In these and other
ways, says the Republican group, Trump has “demonstrated that he is
dangerously unfit to serve another term”.
This development highlights the
contentious and at times downright adversarial relationship that has
existed between the White House and parts of the United States
Intelligence Community during Trump’s presidency. At the same time, such
a high-profile effort by established intelligence and national security
figures to deny the US president a second term in office, could be used
by the Trump campaign as evidence of his crusade against what his
supporters refer to as the ‘deep state’. The term refers to a purported
network of unelected interests that resist the president’s efforts to
implement his political agenda.
