'It Just Exploded': #WalkAway Movement Grows as Former Democrats Leave Party
"Never lose faith that people can change," Straka told the crowd at a recent Trump 2020 Campaign rally. "If I can change, anyone can change."
That is Straka's story. Once a lifelong Democrat, he's now an outspoken Trump supporter.
"I live in New York City and I was a former liberal, a former Democrat my entire life," Straka told CBN News.
He says things changed after the 2016 election.
"I was just absolutely shocked and I think horrified and trying to understand how could anyone vote for this terrible person?" Straka said of Trump. "I was going on social media constantly asking this question and that's when finally somebody reached out to me – January of 2017 – with a social media clip that very clearly demonstrated how CNN and some of these liberal media outlets had been so dishonest and isolated these moments out of context and created a narrative surrounding Donald Trump and his supporters which was completely untrue."
After a year of reflection and research, Straka says he left the Democratic party and in 2018 started the #WalkAway grassroots movement.
