Stephanie Cegielski, former spokeswoman for a pro-Donald Trump super PAC has reversed course and become one of the GOP presidential front-runner's sharpest critics.
"I think he has gone too far with the vitriolic statements and lacks substance when it comes to policy," Cegielski told
The Washington Free Beacon.
Cegielski worked for the Make America Great Again PAC until it shut down in October. Trump had issued public statements against super PACs operating on his behalf, but the PAC also was the subject of a
Washington Post story that Trump's campaign staff was collaborating with the super PAC, which is not allowed.
Cegielski told the Free Beacon she still supported Trump even after the super PAC ceased operating, but in recent months she has changed her tune.
"I only started [opposing his candidacy] in the last few months, well after the Super PAC shutting down," she told the website. "I still supported him for a time after the PAC but then came to my senses."
None of Trump's specific actions or statements pushed her away, Cegielski said.
"As a communications person I am a strong advocate for sticking to your message," she said. "The problem with his message is that it is all about his poll numbers, the losers of the world and his ability to do everything great."
She blames Trump's success on the ineffectiveness of the Republican National Committee and anti-Trump political groups and a media that focuses almost exclusively on Trump.
She said she doesn't currently support anyone running.
"There isn't even a lesser-of-the-two-evils candidate," she told the Free Beacon. "This election cycle is frightening."
