According to a LinkedIn post from Chad Sweet, he wanted to fight to put country over party and it's why he joined the staff of Citizens for a Strong Democracy.
"Donald Trump and those who aided and abetted him in his relentless assault on our Democracy – including Senators Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz – must be denounced," he wrote. "In particular, I made it clear to Senator Cruz, whom I have known for years, before the Joint Session of Congress, that if he proceeded to object to the Electoral count of the legitimate slates of delegates certified by the States, I could no longer support him."
Sweet went on to say that those who committed violence should be held accountable if for no other reason than to ensure "confidence in our elections."
