Liz Cheney has just lost her Republican House leadership spot for NOT going with Donald Trump’s actions and lies….
Bam!
The party lawmakers over the House fall in line behind Trump….
BUT?
The NY Times is out with a piece that could be what some of us have thought would happen….
A rebellion in the ranks AGAINST Trump overwhelming influence on the Grant ole’ Party….
The word from the group/movement is that they could move to form their OWN party. if the current Republican party does NOT divorce itself from the Trump lies and influence…(Any chance of this right now???)
Now the piece does not seem to have current lawmakers in the group or more than 100 Republican Party members…
But?
If this effort IS serious?
Donald Trump?
In his own way has paved the way for Republican’s to possibly have a bit of a civil war going into the 2022 Midterms….
Make no mistake…
We’ve had these rumblings before and they have amounted to nothing…
So we’ll have watch this…
But with Liz Cheney as the martyr?
Things COULD get rough for the Republican Party going forward….
More than 100 Republicans, including some former elected officials, are preparing to release a letter this week threatening to form a third party if the Republican Party does not make certain changes, according to an organizer of the effort.
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.
“When in our democratic republic, forces of conspiracy, division, and despotism arise, it is the patriotic duty of citizens to act collectively in defense of liberty and justice,” reads the preamble to the full statement, which is expected to be released on Thursday.
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.
“This is a first step,” said Miles Taylor, an organizer of the effort and a former Trump-era Department of Homeland Security official who anonymously wrote a book condemning the Trump administration. In October, Mr. Taylor acknowledged he was the author of both the book and a 2018 New York Times Op-Ed article.
“This is us saying that a group of more than 100 prominent Republicans think that the situation has gotten so dire with the Republican Party that it is now time to seriously consider whether an alternative might be the only option,” he said.
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….
