Photo: Bloomberg via Getty Images One of the few lasting impacts of the odd, digital national conventions that took place last summer was the Republican abandonment of a party platform, as the GOP cited the pandemic as an opportunity to ditch concrete policy goals in order to “enthusiastically support” Trump and his “America-first agenda.
The movement to support Trump after his supporters sieged the Capitol is taking place at all levels of the party. At the top, the Washington Post reports that one RNC committeewoman has pressed party head Ronna McDaniel to push a resolution condemning the impeachment. And across the country, the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach the president on one article of incitement of insurrection have dealt with swift pushback for holding the president accountable.
But it’s not just the ten representatives who made Trump’s second impeachment the most bipartisan one in history who are being ostracized within the ranks of the GOP. The Arizona Republican Party this weekend voted to censure Governor Doug Ducey, former senator Jeff Flake, and Cindy McCain for opposing Trump’s baseless attempt to contest the election.
GOP runs their party like they would love to run the country... one way, our way, or No way. To disagree invites public harassment, censure, petty attacks (watches, now?) and indignant outrage if you call them any name that ends in the letters “ist”
Let them splinter and self-destruct. Fun to watch. ETTD
I hope they don’t primary the two senators from GA.
