96% of this county voted for Trump in 2020. Hear what residents there think about the hush money trial

The hush money cover up. Hay and Ron Swart settled in along with us in their living room to watch coverage of the Trump trial jury selection. One group went through the effort to make a large parade style banner reading. No one is above the law. They’ve both voted for Trump twice. What is your feeling today about Donald Trump’s moral character? It’s terrible. I can’t get much lower than it is. They live on a hilltop ranch in Roberts County in the Texas Panhandle where 96% of the voters chose Trump over Joe Biden in 2020, the highest Trump percentage of any county in America. He continues to make crazy comments about being a dictator’s first day and repercussions against people who he feels have wronged him. We met this couple during a visit to Roberts County last year. They told us then they like Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis. But with Trump the only Republican left standing, things have gotten complicated. If Donald Trump is found guilty of one of these crimes, whether it’s a mistrial happening right now or one of the trials happening in the future, do you think he’s fit to be president of the United States? I don’t think he’s fit, but I’m voting for him. I really feel like that we not going to be able to survive another four years of the Democrats in charge. Rick McDowell is someone else. We met last year in Roberts County. He told us then he liked Ron DeSantis. If Donald Trump is found guilty of a criminal charge, do you think he’s fit to be president of the United States? He’s as fit as the current president. Why is that? Because nobody investigates Joe Biden. Nobody’s going to investigate Joe Biden. In Roberts County, the current president is often prominently mentioned when you ask questions about the former president. You think Donald Trump is of low character and poor morals and poor ethics? Oh, definitely. And most most definitely. You don’t think he’s fit to be president until he’s found guilty, yet you’re going to vote for him. How do you address that conflict? How do you vote for a man who you feel? So I I feel like is is is wrong as it’s going to be to have him for president. He’s still going to be a lot better president for the United States than what we’ve done with Joe Biden and the Democrats here in Roberts County. In the 2016 election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, Clinton received a grand total of 20 votes. Four years later, Joe Biden received 17 votes. This is a 1929 model. And was this actually used here in Roberts County? Susan Bowers is the curator of the Roberts County Museum in the county seat of Miami. In 2020, here in Roberts County, only 17 people in the entire county voted for Joe Biden. Were you one of them? Yes, I was, she says. She has quibbles with some of what President Biden has done and not done. But unlike almost all of her fellow county voters, Susan Bowers is not giving Donald Trump any benefit of the doubt when it comes to this trial or the one still to come. He’s He’s unethical. He’s a criminal. He belongs on reality TV, if that.
