The Current Republican Party No Longer Represents Me
[American Greatness] Over the past week, it should have become incredibly obvious to registered Republicans that the elected GOP and the party itself no longer represents its constituency.It began with more than 20 members of the party voting against Representative Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House. Jordan, who has been popular with the base and one of the most vocal members of Congress over the past seven years, should have been a shoo-in if the party pays attention to its base, but they simply don’t care. The second thing of note that happened was Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell simply rolling over for the Biden proposal to send another $106 billion dollars to our current "forever wars" and "other projects." Broken down, the $106 billion would mean $61.4 billion for Ukraine, $14.3 billion for Israel, and $30.1 billion for other projects like "border security," whatever that might mean to an administration with a wide-open southern border. There was no push back, no negotiation — fiscal conservatism be damned — Sen. McConnell just said yes to $106 billion, over $75 billion of which is for other countries — keep in mind, there was discussion when in 2018, Trump only requested $18 billion over 10 years to complete our southern border wall. Thirdly, there was war hawk and frequent strongly written letter author, Senator Lindsey Graham who led a bipartisan delegation to Tel Aviv, Israel for a photo op amidst the ongoing war. When questioned by the conservative news outlet, NewsMax, Graham showed a bit more of his true colors. Posted by: Besoeker 2023-10-30 |
