'I'm out': Longtime donor quits the GOP because they're 'absolutely' controlled by Trump and QAnon

Immigration lawyer Jacob Monty said this week that Trump's deadly Capitol riot was a 'bridge too far' and has now formally quit the GOP. His sentiments were revealed on Friday's CNN episode of "Out Front" with host Erin Burnett.

Monty, who's raised more than $1 million for the GOP, said he watched the Capitol riot and cried.

"Trump owns the party and Trump has always loved the conspiracy theories and this is Trump's party now," Monty told Burnett.

"I tried for four years to be a 'Never Trumper' in the Republican Party but it's obvious now, everyone is paying homage to this ex-president. No one will stand up to him ... Well, I'm a Texan and I don't lick anyone's boots."

Monty made it clear his beef wasn't just with Trump any longer.

"If my fellow Republicans are so blind they can defy reality and ignore the legal votes of millions of American citizens, there is no way I can convince them of the rightness of comprehensive immigration reform," he added. "There is simply no room for me in the GOP any longer."

Monty briefly served on Trump's Hispanic Advisory Council until the former president delivered an anti-immigration speech, which Monty characterized as a "combative, red-meat nativist stemwinder."

And while Monty voted for Joe Biden last November, he added that he isn't in sync with everything the Democratic Party represents.

"But that's the big tent party, the Democratic Party is the party that has more diversity of opinion," he said. "If you stay in the Republican Party, you have to pay homage to Trump and I don't do that, I don't pray to any man."
