An impeachment witness against former President Donald Trump now says he supports Trump for re-election in 2024 because President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are much, much worse. 

Former EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland disavowed Trump after the events of January 6, 2021 and now says what Biden and Harris did in their administration was so much worse than Trump's supposed involvement in the riots that day.

Asked by MSNBC host Ari Melber whether he stands by his disavowal of Trump, he said, "No, I don’t stand by it, and I’ll tell you why. I’ve now lived four years under the Biden-Harris policies and I have to say that those policies are not only becoming an existential threat to our country’s way of life, but to our allies as well."

Melber loudly interrupted Sondland, incredulous about the change in his views.

"So many attacks on democracy"

"It is a yes, for me. It is an absolute yes for me," Sondland said about support for Trump and vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance. "That is how badly the Biden-Harris team have prosecuted their job."

While Melber sputtered about Trump being a "threat to democracy," Sondland said, "I am seeing so many attacks on democracy that eclipse Jan. 6th."

And yes, he was talking about attacks from Biden and the Democrats.

As an example, Sondland pointed to his own experience in Portland, Oregon, where he lives and has a business.

"Absolutely decimated"

"I want to express is that I’ve now lived for four years under the Biden-Harris administration," Sondland said. "I live in a bucolic city of Portland, Oregon, which has been destroyed by those policies. Absolutely decimated. Businesses are suffering. My own business is suffering solely for political reasons, and it’s all fixable and they don’t want to fix it."

"Policy matters greatly, because policy translates into our way of life and the way our country operates," he said.

When everything costs twice as much and illegal immigrants are making housing and hotel room crises worse, that's not a functioning democracy.

Biden has also spit in the face of democracy with some of his executive orders, such as when he bypassed Congress to redistribute student loan debt to people who paid theirs off or who never went to college in the first place.

While January 6 seemed very bad when it happened, the direct link to involvement by Trump was a very weak one.

It seems like at least one of Trump's former officials is ready to acknowledge that Biden has not made anything better--instead, it's worse by a magnitude.
