Justice said, “n the last session, I would tell you that there was some greatness passed, with our roads and so on, but there was way too much pain. Now listen to me and listen really good, we hurt a lot of people. We hurt our vets and our teachers and our disabled and our weak and we walked away from the old. Now I can promise you just this, I came to only get something done. Let me just say this to you as bluntly as I can say it, West Virginia, at the altar, when we had it done, like it or not like it, but the Democrats walked away from me. Now, today I will tell you, with lots of prayers and lots of thinking, today I’ll tell you as West Virginians, I can’t help you anymore being a Democrat governor. So tomorrow, I will be changing my registration to Republican.”

He added, “Now let me go one step further and say just this, what in the world is wrong us as peoples? Have we not heard enough about the Russians? I mean, to our God in heaven above think about it, the stock market’s at 22,000. And this country has hope. And we’re on our way.”

 

Justice also stated, “[H]e [Trump] has made us, as common, everyday Americans, feel good and be proud of who we are.”

Apparently this guy likes to flip flop, but he has seen the light and gone back to good side.

WASHINGTON—West Virginia Democratic Gov. Jim Justice said Thursday at a rally with President Donald Trump that he is switching parties to join the Republicans.

“The Democrats walked away from me,” Mr. Justice said, after taking the stage in Huntington, W.Va., to shouts of “Trump! Trump! Trump!” He said, “I can’t help you anymore being a Democratic governor, so tomorrow I will be changing my registration to Republican.”

He said he had met with the president twice in recent weeks in the Oval Office to discuss his proposals regarding coal and manufacturing.

 

Mr. Justice drew a comparison between himself and the president. “This man and myself are not politicians. We ran to get something done,” he said. “We ran and gave up part of our lives. We ran because we want nothing.”

I figured it would be a good laugh.  This guy is interesting in that he became a democrat right before the election, and now just switched back (he was previously registered as a republican).  Makes one wonder if it will impact him at the next election.
