Trump Takes Aim at '35 Wayward Republicans'

Source: Political Wire

Former President Trump slapped the “wayward” House Republicans who voted in support of a commission that will investigate the Capitol insurrection on January 6.

Said Trump: “See, 35 wayward Republicans—they just can’t help themselves. We have much better policy and are much better for the Country, but the Democrats stick together, the Republicans don’t.”

He added: “They don’t have the Romney’s, Little Ben Sasse’s, and Cheney’s of the world. Unfortunately, we do. Sometimes there are consequences to being ineffective and weak. The voters understand!”

That's why they booted you.

it is Trump.

He is the only president to lose the White House, Senate, and House since Herbert Hoover, nearly 90 years ago.

I saw no evidence of any policy but white supremacy and grifting to spend as much taxpayer money as possible to Trump’s bank account.

It's his # 1 priority. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if he would have worked as hard at being president as he has at trying to overturn the 2020 election.

You use numbers to fix things in people's minds. And phrases. "Crooked Hillary". He tried it with Sleepy Joe but Joe got the better of him, and I have to wonder if the stumble in February's debate was a deliberate ploy that Trump swallowed hook, line, and sinker.

about why Trump's opinions are published in any Dem media.

Who cares what he thinks, especially now that he is no longer in government..............

The right wing media is going to publish his tripe, and hang on every word out of his mouth....do we need to help them?????

they take their orders and talking points from him? You can't understand McCarthy's about face on the 6/1 Commission (which surely is newsworthy) unless you know that TFG was behind it?

Which ones? Oh, the ones that have developed some form of independent thinking and a bit of a moral backbone?

OK then, have at them Trump, if you think that is inappropriate.

But why is private citizen Orange McFartFace expressing any opinion on US politics?
We already know he has zero competence in that field.

Why is that man still talking, anyway? Why is anyone still listening and repeating his words?
