Don’t buy into the false narrative that voting for RINOs is voting for the lesser of two evils. An authentic Republican should be in McCarthy’s position. The reason one is not is because of the insane and proven failure that voting for RINOs is somehow an alternative to a Democrat holding office.

The truth is we’re putting Democrats into Republican seats, senior positions in congress and the result is self destruction.

Stop the insanity. Refuse the RINOs (Democrats) leadership in the Republican Party.

Redistricting is the key to the 2022 election. I will not be surprised if the Dems figure out how to rule the next 100 years.

It won’t happen but would love to see a GOPer response to ABC News’ ambush like: “No one should be participating in Pelosi’s Kangaroo Committee sham investigation. The treatment of the protesters is unconscionable, and that’s what needs to be investigated. No one should accept that pre-trial solitary confinement for trespassing is in any way just.”

Why should I vote for Republicans if Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are the deciding leaders of the Republicans? I am supposed to fall in line with these two traitors. I am supposed to allow them to betray President Trump? I am supposed to reward them with my vote?

They have to keep using the "violent insurrection" language going. It's their only means to, using the 14th amendment, keep certain individuals from holding office again.

Exactly. Congressman Cawthorn in NC is their test case that they hope sets the precedent. Yet almost no one even knows who he is or what’s going on.

The RNC vote to censure REALLY got under their skin. It’s very apparent.

Of course it did, because it proved they don’t control the party, whether they thought they did or not. McDaniel said that showing the party itself was controlled by the people was actually one of the main reasons the action was taken, since. No one in Congress was doing anything about it.

If you try to contact McCarthy via email and get a reply or acknowledgement, you're outta luck unless you live in his district.

If you are or are not in his district and you send him an email anyway, you'll have to look up your zip code extension number first.

It was neither an "insurrection" nor a "violent insurrection." It was US citizens exercising their God-given right, acknowledged by the US Constitution and indelibly encoded into US law, to peaceably assemble.

For politicians and their lackeys to have claimed otherwise and spread their claims in propaganda strikes terror into the hearts of all honest people and should strike terror into the hearts of all people.

If there was an insurrection, it was not a very good one. Nancy is still a plague on America

No, no MAGA party. How about no party. Why do we need a party? Great Reset the Republic to George Washington’s example and do not have a party where candidates are beholden to the party and not the people.

It wasn’t a “insurrection”. “Insurrections” look like the BLM “Georgie Floyd” fiascos. January 6th was a FED-erection. Americans were attacked by the Feddies.

The Latest Democrat/RINO Plan to Prevent Trump From Running Again in 2024

BY ROBERT SPENCER FEB 09, 2022

Why did Mitch McConnell break ranks with the Republican National Committee and insist, contrary to a growing mountain of evidence, that the Jan. 6 incident was “a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent a peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the next”?

A clue came on Tuesday, when Larry Sabato, a popular far-Left historian, tweeted:

“Of course it was a violent insurrection. Shame on every Republican, especially Members of Congress, who haven’t declared as much. Next: Admit Trump plotted a coup to steal a 2nd term. Then invoke 14th Amendment, Section 3 to ban Trump and coconspirators from future public office.”

If it was an insurrection, then Trump, who has grown increasingly critical and contemptuous of McConnell, can be barred from running in 2024. The initiative to do this is gathering steam.

The Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3 says:
 
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
 

This was designed to keep unrepentant Confederates out of public office after the Civil War (although many did hold office, as more often than not Congress did vote to waive the prohibition).

As PJM’s Rick Moran noted Wednesday, it’s already being used against America-First Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), although he is fighting back hard. It’s likely to be used against others who are associated with the Jan. 6 non-insurrection as well.

But Cawthorn and the rest would just be a dry run. The great white whale these Captain Ahabs are hunting is Donald Trump, and they hope that in the 14th Amendment, they have found their harpoon.

Some Democrats and establishment Republicans see this as the final stake they can drive into the heart of their nemesis Trump, ending his 2024 aspirations.

If everyone here hasn’t figured out that it is THEM v. We The People, you need to educate yourself and quick!

These jerks are NOT willing to serve US, which they are elected to do, nor are they willing to relinquish ANY power and money they have amassed in their insular little world.

We are on our own. Plan accordingly. And, pray. For your families. For President Trump. For our crumbling Nation. :(

He has no challenger in the primary. That’s the problem. March 11 is 4 weeks from today. That’s the cutoff date to file. Will anyone step up? What about a truck driver? Get what I mean?

Yep. McCarty is a snake, just like McConnell. Trump should know this by now.
