Top aide in Kenneth Starr investigation will vote for Dems for first time

A lifelong Republican and former aide during the Kenneth Starr investigation into President Clinton said he will be voting for a Democrat in a federal election for the first time in his life.

Paul Rosenzweig told CNN’s Matt Berman on Monday that his decision comes after the Republican Party's “abdication of responsibility.”

“The Republican Party, seems to me, to no longer deserve my support or frankly the support of anybody who thinks that the legislative branch should act as a check and balance against executive authoritarianism,” Rosenzweig said.

Rosenzweig, who also previously served in the Department of Homeland Security, said that Nunes has lost his credibility as chairman of House Intelligence Committee.

He is joined by GOP strategist Steve Schmidt, former Post columnist George F. Will in and longtime conservative commentator Phil Heimlich in supporting Democrats.
