Former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan was the latest in a string of Republicans who rebuked their party's nominee at the 2024 DNC .
Duncan took to the podium Wednesday and pointed towards Republican nominee Donald Trump's pressure campaign in Georgia as the primary reason he would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris .
"These days our party acts more like a cult," Duncan said. "A cult worshiping a felonious thug."
Duncan praised Harris' prosecutorial mindset and said that voting for her would make Republican voters, "a patriot."
"Trump has shown us who he is. We should believe him. To think he is going to change at the age of 77 is beyond improbable,” he wrote in a column in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution .
Key quote: "If the Republicans are being intellectually honest with ourselves, our party is not civil or conservative, it is chaotic and crazy and the only thing left to do is dump Trump "
