HuffPo: “Former Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said that he plans to vote for Donald Trump in November despite previously registering his disapproval of the former president for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In a July interview with Spectrum Local News published on Tuesday, the former senator insisted it was not contradictory that he planned to vote for Trump after voting in the Senate to convict him of inciting an insurrection — which would have barred Trump from running again.
Burr said his impeachment vote was a response to Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021, rather than an attempt to disqualify him from the presidency.”
