The Not So Loyal RINO Opposition Must Unite Around Trump
The Not So Loyal RINO Opposition Must Unite Around Trump
Now that Donald John Trump has locked up the Republican presidential nomination, the only people who can stop him from becoming our 47th president are not Joe Biden and Democrat operatives like Marc Elias. It is a fifth column of well-heeled and influential Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) who have put roadblocks in Trump’s path since Trump and the elegant Melania went down the escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy for president at Trump Tower.
We know who these RINO elites are – and Donald Trump knows them too. They are but a small sliver of the American population. Yet, they control a highly disproportionate share of the wealth, information flows, and power in this country even as they embrace a globalist vision starkly at odds with Main Street and Trump’s America.
Message to these elites: Donald Trump will offer you NOTHING in exchange for your support. Nonetheless, you must heed the Trump call for unity for one simple reason:
Whatever complaints or quibbles that you may have had with Donald Trump over the years, all of these grievances pale in comparison to the very real and enormous damage that Joe Biden as President is doing to our economy, our fiscal balance, our border security, our social and political fabric, and, most dangerously, our national security. To oppose Trump is to support a Biden agenda that threatens the very viability of our Republic!
At the top of this RINO pyramid of power is Rupert Murdoch. Through Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post, Murdoch’s empire has fanned the flames of Never-Trumpism all the way back to the 2020 presidential campaign.
Fox News, in particular, is far more dangerous to Trump than any “wear their Leftist hatred on their sleeves” networks like ABC, CNN, and MSNBC. This is because far too many conservatives and Republicans still think that Fox is pro-Trump.
Because of this broad misperception, Murdoch’s minions inflicted a thousand nicks and cuts on Trump during the 2020 campaign and have already try to bloody Trump this cycle. Now, however, the word must now go down from Murdoch himself to those who run Fox News – principally his son Lachlan, CEO Suzanne Scott, President Lauren Petterson, Karl Rove, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan on the Board of Directors: Fox must end its Fifth Column attacks on Trump!
It’s not just strident anti-Trump critics like the Neil Cavuto, Brett Bair, Juan Williams, John Roberts, Brian Kilmeade, and former Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany who should be told, Roger Ailes-style, to tone it down. It’s also Fox producers who currently play an outsized role shaping anti-Trump messaging and enforcing the cancellation of Trump surrogates from appearing on the network.
I have experienced this cancellation myself, but I am hardly alone. From Rudy Giuliani, Mike Lindell, Mike Flynn, and Kash Patel to Don, Jr. and Trump press secretary Jason Miller, top voices from the Trump campaign have been cancelled or muted. This MUST cease if Trump is to run his most effective campaign.
Next in the pyramid are the wealthy donors who mistakenly thought in this election cycle they could simply buy the Republican nomination by heaping lavish sums on the various Keebler elf challengers. These donors go by names like Steve Schwarzman, Ken Griffin, Paul Singer, Stanley Druckenmiller, and Larry Fink. Their primary political motive is simply to add to their already obscenely large fortunes – often by supporting the offshoring of American jobs and importing cheap labor across our southern border and ALWAYS by pursuing tax breaks for the rich.
Show your true colors now you Big Wallet Boys! Either get behind Trump with NO expectation of access or favorable treatment. OR work to beat Trump and help the Democrats destroy this country.
Third on the list are the misnamed “conservative” think tanks like the Petersen Institute, CATO, and Heritage. Only Heritage appears to be tacking away from the RINO wind. The others may continue to relentlessly attack Trump with fancy “studies” that cast doubt on the effectiveness of Trump policies. I likewise say to them: show your true colors now, and we’ll see if you are in fact the treasonous, profit-motivated scumbags hiding behind a veneer of academia that we always thought you were.
Fourth, there is the small cadre of potentially lethal political action groups, a poster child of which is the Lincoln Project. Led incongruously by the RINO George Conway – he’s the former spouse of Trump loyalist Kellyanne Conway – this lethal weapon spent almost $50 million attacking Trump in the 2020 cycle.
Others include the infamous Koch Network and its PAC Americans for Prosperity Action and the Bipartisan Christian Group – don’t be fooled by its name, it’s trying to chip away at Trump’s Christian base. All of these groups need to get Trump religion and stand down. A vote for Biden is a vote for America’s demise.
Finally, I don’t want to hear anymore from any former Trump officials about the alleged failings and foibles of Donald Trump. So zip it Bill Barr, John Bolton, Mark Esper, John Kelly, Mick Mulvaney, and especially, Mike Pence and Nikki Haley.
Every time you open your ungrateful mouths, you are desecrating the oath of office you took. You know damn well NOW just how severe an economic and national security threat Joe Biden represents. (Don’t even get me started on the turncoat Alyssa Farah, now feathering her next the The View with anti-Trump spin.)
My bottom line: We must have Republican unity behind Donald Trump if this nation is to survive and prosper. Come now all ye RINOs of the world, unite behind Trump, and show us your better angels.
Peter, If you have any contact with DJT, tell him his campaign legal team needs to start filing injunctions against the cheat in all of the swing states, especially since Merrick Garland has essentially said that the Dept. of "Just-Us" will be trying to reinforce the drop box/mail in ballot paradigms, as well as bringing suit against voter ID laws. It needs to be done yesterday.
He also needs to start mentioning other subjects that are hot amongst his followers such as the Amos Miller persecution by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Agriculture, the Brooke Jackson v. Pfizer case in the 5th circuit, and the promise to pardon Julian Assange. Edward Snowden, and ALL of the J6 political prisoners, including yourself and Steve Bannon, on day one of his Presidency. He needs to listen to Don Jr. more, and less to some of the yes men who seem to surround him. Now is not the time to sit back on his laurels, but to aggressively reinforce his support for nationalist populist views. Concentrate on the RFK subjects, but don't attack him. Utilize important aspects of his campaign to shore up new voter groups who would support him. Biden has no chance to win without the cheat, so that WILL happen. Get ahead of it now. Just the view from the cheap seats.
Edited to add: Quit endorsing Swamp Critters like Mike Rodgers. Does he like being stabbed in the back? Same as him looking at Tim Scott or Kristi Noem as VP possibles. He better wake up, or he's going to lose many of his supporters.
Great rant, naming names, Peter. Keep it up, good luck next week!
