Conservative firebrand former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh announced Sunday with ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on ABC's"This Week" that he's launching a long-shot Republican presidential primary challenge against President Donald Trump.
Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel told ABC News in response to Walsh's announcement,"President Trump enjoys unprecedented support among Republicans. He has already delivered a long list of incredible accomplishments for conservatives and the country. Republicans are firmly behind the president and any effort to challenge him in a primary is bound to go absolutely nowhere.
Stephanopoulos pushed back and pointed out a number of Walsh's comments, including calling Obama a Muslim, an enemy and a traitor, and as recently as August 2017 tweeting,"Senator Kamala Harris said something really dumb. Meh. If you're black and a woman, you can say dumb things. Lowered bar." Throughout Sunday's interview, Walsh used harsh, inflammatory language to describe the president — calling him"incompetent,""nuts,""erratic,""narcissist,""bully,""coward,""completely unfit,""disloyal," and"un-American."
"It doesn't matter. Absolutely, I'm going to do whatever I can," Walsh said on"This Week.""I don't want him to win. The country cannot afford to have him win. If I'm not successful, I'm not voting for him."

Like the leading Democrat joe Biden?
And no push back from the impartial journalist
Pure nonsense
If you are a egg producer, do not throw away your bad eggs, their can be a market for it.
Somehow I just don't believe there are many classic Republicans left. Fox News has hijacked that party's worldview and turned it on its head
So you helped create trump now you want to run against him , but every mistake he made comes in part from you , so how can anyone trust your judgment or your credibility ,thats one mistake you should of kept to yourself sincerely yoursDannyCaron2019allrightsreserved
Hahahaha Rotflmbo
Trump is actually doing better than every president in over 20 years. Obama raised the national debt by nine trillion, (six trillion within the first month taking office) Bush started his own agenda war costing our soldiers lives, and Clinton got his weener sucked.
👀👀
What are u talking about? This is gaslighting at its finest. Nobody believes this except a small percentage. But it’s so crazy it makes a majority of people click it. Thus it works. Sad times.
This man knows shi~ about anything a failed congress man. And radio stupid host
It is sad watching MSM parade anybody around as long as they have something to say about Trump.

Really Joe?
Lol. On who, Walsh?
Don’t be jealous
Meanwhile this unhinged crazy unstable bigot just negotiated billion dollar trade deal with Japan, China wants back and more African Americans released under prison reform. What an A-hole
Amazing YOU knew this when you were touting the BS,
just looking at the quote and not the video, my first question was, 'which reporter is he talking about now?'
provides the procedures 25th is for replacing the president or vice president {in the event }of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation .. its not procedure to remove
your whole network is washed up.
Anyone who even entertains this as a possibility is nuts. Seek help. Please.
You should do better than giving this guy a platform.
Yeah ok DogNPonyShow
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's ridiculous! If they try to do that, the American people will not put up with it. We elected him for a reason. So crazy watching these politicians and celebrities all having a cow.
Don’t worry Walsh, I’m sure CNN will hire you when this is over.
Sure Joe.
This guy is a fool
Is there any evidence for any of these accusations?
I have neve believed a word a politician has said, ever. Tell me how that’s wrong.
the fact that you people are giving this man one second of screen time just shows how detrimental the 24 hour news cycle is to American society... shame on you, ABC, and any other media outlet that gives this clown one shred of coverage...
Really ABC?
