David Beasley spent more than three decades as a Republican, serving as South Carolina’s governor. He recently announced that he’s walking away from his party as he laments a rise in toxic vitriol emanating from the GOP’s standard-bearer.
"The vitriolic language, the demeaning, divisive, degrading that has taken place, is just completely out of control, and I don't want to be associated with that," he tells @RealAmnaNawaz.
