I think you just proved the point with which you seem to take issue. If such a term existed in todays GOP, what exactly would it signify and is there anybody in the GOP to whom the term might apply?
My point was that anytime a group like Salem Media Group comes out with statement that is absolutely false, I lose trust in them when I can find it out here without all the multi-million dollar capacity and just my little PC.
“....to whom the term might apply?”
I didn’t name anyone as there are some way to obvious to be overlooked in the GOP with what could be considered a non-GOP effort. Historically, the DNC has on every occasion I’ve witnessed had very few, if any, centrists by the media determination of one they call anyone in the DNC if they vote around half the time in favor of conservative values. Hence the many 100% votes in favor of liberal issues over the years.
The impeachment vote on Trump is an example: Among Democrats, 126 voted to table the articles of impeachment, 58 voted against tabling the articles of impeachment, four voted “present” and five did not vote. You’ll notice not one said a no vote for impeachment. Some were afraid of it, but they wouldn’t kill it and knew they couldn’t so they asked to kick it down the road at best.
Among Republicans, 238 voted to table the articles of impeachment and four did not vote nor were at the vote: John Shimkus from Illinois, Duncan Hunter from California. the vacant slots from New York and Wisconsin are in that four. But all four, and in reference the two that could have voted, are liberal controlled states and they claim conservatism. They should have been there or sent a proxy and had the intestinal fortitude to vote.
Republicans most noteable for voting against conservative values are reps like Lisa Murkowski (R) Senator of Alaska, and Susan Collins (R) Senator of Maine. Using Gov track to illustrate votes, Collins are the two most non-republican voting representatives of the republican party in their respective houses voting well outside of GOP votes. Joining them are Martha McSally from Arizona, Bob Portman from Ohio, and Todd YHoung from Indiana among others. You can check their voting record at the below site.

But for me, anytime an organization screws up in a major article that they had to know was going to be read, it puts a question on me as to why it was allowed to happen, did they know it was wrong, and who profited by it. If those questions come up, I distrust them.
