Former Sen. Alan Simpson said the current iteration of the GOP has become a "cult," per a new book.
"We're not really talking about common sense or even politics anymore in my party," he said.
In Mark Leibovich's book, Simpson was critical of former President Trump while praising Liz Cheney.
Former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson blasted the current iteration of the GOP as a "cult" and said former President Donald Trump has "poisoned our democracy," according to a recently-released book by Mark Leibovich, a staff writer at The Atlantic.
In the book, "Thank You for Your Servitude: Donald Trump's Washington and the Price of Submission," the 90-year-old ex-Wyoming lawmaker was deeply critical of what he deemed "the tragedy of what has occurred" during the tenure of "this vicious animal who has poisoned our democracy."
Simpson — who served in the Senate from 1979 to 1997 – said he voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential election but declined to do so in 2020, and contended that he would not back the former commander-in-chief again should he run in 2024.
