GOP infighting spills into public view

Republican infighting has spilled out into public view less than one week before the midterm elections.

President Trump on Wednesday unleashed a stunning Twitter attack on Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), accusing the retiring lawmaker of not doing enough to protect the lower chamber’s majority.

Earlier this week, conservative Rep. Steve King’s (R-Iowa) racially insensitive remarks and support of white nationalist politicians earned a sharp and rare rebuke from the head of the House GOP’s campaign arm, increasing pressure on other leaders to follow suit.

And scores of Republicans have openly rejected Trump’s call to end birthright citizenship via executive order, a controversial plan that has divided the GOP and further inflamed GOP tensions over immigration policy.
