The future of the US republic is at risk due to the changing culture in the country, according to the former governor of Montana.
Racicot made the comments at the 100th annual meeting of the Montana Taxpayers Association, which was held December 8. The Independent Record reported that Racicot was the luncheon speaker.
Our republic is most likely to disappear through a lack of honor and fidelity. The Republican said that is what is required by the oath of office.
Racicot was the head of the RNC from 2002 to 2003 and before that was the state attorney general from 1989 to 1993 and the governor from 1993 to 2001.
Racicot said at the luncheon that fidelity is the opposite of seeking power for its own sake.
The life of our republic will be at risk if we don't accept, embrace and discharge one's duties as guided by fidelity.
Racicot said in an interview that he would cast a ballot for Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate, because he wanted a man and a woman to serve in that capacity.
He said he had more concerns about Trump last year than he did four years prior.
He said that the relationship between people in the US and their neighbors had changed, and that social-media made it more difficult to communicate.
He said at the December 8 event of social-media platforms that "That's how much of the country and much of the world talks to each other these days." It's vacuous and perilous.
"It seems almost impossible to manage the noise, to control the flood of inaccurate communications, conceived in anger and competition and then regretted because of all the blathering that is now a matter of public record," he said.
