Former Reagan official rips Republicans for backing Trump: 'It's like the invasion of the body snatchers'

A former Reagan administration official railed against Republicans over the weekend for continuing to back President Trump as House Democrats pursue an impeachment inquiry.

Linda Chavez, who previously served as the White House director of public liaison, said Republicans were “absolutely abrogating their duty” as tensions escalate over the impeachment inquiry.

"It's like the invasion of the body snatchers," Chavez said. "I don't know who these people are. I mean, they have so changed their tune. This is really serious," she said.

"We were devoted to the Constitution," Chavez said. "And what I see happening now is people who are absolutely abrogating their duty.”

“They are putting politics first and they're scared. They're scared of Donald Trump,” she continued.
