Who is Jim Young?
Young describes himself as a "staunch, almost redneck conservative, registered Republican, Oklahoman and American" who was all in on his support for Donald Trump ― until he read Liz Cheney's book titled "Oath and Honor, a Memoir and a Warning."
In a guest column published in The Oklahoman on March 3, the retired former banking executive urged readers "before you cast a vote or support Donald Trump, please take the time to read Liz Cheney’s book, or the committee findings or the DOJ indictment. The future of our society depends on it."
The column went viral and drew the attention of anchors at MSNBC, where Young appeared in an interview with Nicole Wallace and on the Morning Joe show.
He penned a follow-up column on April 13 arguing that he will do whatever he can to "make sure Trump does not come near the Oval Office again. We really have only one rational choice, and that is to take a deep breath and vote for Biden in November."
