The media has found its latest fake Republican to endorse Hillary.
Hillary Clinton has the “steady and experienced leadership” necessary to occupy the Oval Office, a former President George W. Bush aide said in announcing her support of the former secretary of state for president.
Lezlee Westine, who served as the White House’s director of public liaison and deputy assistant to the president in the Bush administration, is the latest Republican to cross party lines to back Clinton over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“Our nation faces a unique set of challenges that require steady and experienced leadership. That is why today I am personally supporting Hillary Clinton,” Westine said in a statement to the Washington Post.
This would be more impressive if Lezlee actually were a Republican. The former Bush aide got a job heading up the perfume industry lobby aka the Personal Care Products Council.
Lezlee Westine donated to Obama in 2008. She was a repeat donor to New York's ridiculously useless Democratic senator, Kirsten Gillibrand. She donated to Dems like Rep. Eshoo, Dingell and Steny Hoyer. She also donated to Jeb Bush and John Kasich in this cycle.
Westine is also listed as the treasurer for the Personal Care Products Council PAC which donates to everyone.
Lezlee Westine donated to Hillary back in June. So despite the media's attempts to roll out the stories of Republicans who suddenly switched sides, Lezlee Westine had been a Hillary backer for a while and she had been drifting to the Democrats right after her White House gig ended. It has nothing to do with Trump or Hillary's supposed appeal to Republicans.
