SaysWho? Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Over 100 Republicans, Including Former Officials, Threaten to Split from GOP - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM Miles Taylor, a former Trump-era Homeland Security official who anonymously wrote a book condemning the Trump administration, is an organizer of the effort. Quote The statement is expected to take aim at former President Donald J. Trump’s stranglehold on Republicans, which signatories to the document have deemed unconscionable. ... The effort comes as House Republican leaders are expected on Wednesday to oust Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming from their ranks because of her outspoken criticism of Mr. Trump’s election lies. Quote The list of people signing the statement includes former officials at both the state and national level who once were governors, members of Congress, ambassadors, cabinet secretaries, state legislators and Republican Party chairmen, Mr. Taylor said. Mr. Taylor declined to name the signers. Reuters reported earlier that the former governors Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania and Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey will sign it, as will former Transportation Secretary Mary E. Peters and former Representatives Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, Barbara Comstock of Virginia, Reid Ribble of Wisconsin and Mickey Edwards of Oklahoma.

No one, and I mean no one, knows or cares what Tom Ridge or Mickey Edwards thinks about the republican party You know, there used to be a time when Democrats who lost were quickly discarded but Republicans stuck around. But I’ve noticed over the past 8ish years a complete turnaround. The number of Republicans who used to have enormous power yet feel so insignificant now is staggering.

CitizenVectron Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 In 2023 when this new group supports Trump, the media will report it as "Trump has support across the political spectrum, with two major parties now supporting his candidacy." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I would have left the party the second Donald Trump was the nominee. Anyone who stayed is a piece of shit. Fuck em all. Anyone who would belong to a party with Trump at the top is not someone who can be taken seriously ever again for the rest of their lives. All of these people are monsters and fuck em all. Today, tomorrow and forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
