GOP C-SPAN caller stuns Andy Biggs: 'I'm going to vote for Biden because I'm Christian'
A Republican informed Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) that he was voting for President Joe Biden instead of Donald Trump because he was a Christian.
On Monday's edition of C-SPAN's Washington Journal program, a Republican from Connecticut named Nick told Biggs he was making his first call to the network.
"I just wanted to speak with Mr. Biggs about the concept of being a Republican," the caller said. "And I've got to say, the state of this union is tremendous. We're strong. We're doing well."
"And the divisiveness that I've seen from my party in the past 40 years has got me kind of puzzled," he continued. "I just registered as a Republican two months ago for the fifth time, Mr. Biggs."
"And I'm just going to leave you with this comment, and that is that I register as a Republican because I'm a conservative, and I'm going to vote for Joe Biden because I'm a Christian."

For his part, Biggs suggested the caller should not be part of the Republican Party.
"Well, I think that's really interesting," Biggs remarked. "He probably should re-register as a Democrat."
"I think if you're not voting for Donald Trump because you think he's not a Christian or not a moral man, I'm not going to say look at Joe Biden," the lawmaker added. "I would just say we should all look at ourselves and see who's casting the first stone."
Biggs also addressed the charge that Republicans cause division in the country.
"I also would not say that all the division starts because of Republicans, to be frank with you," Biggs said. "I think that's a bit of an absurdity to say that. But anyway, he's free to do what he wants."
