In the wake of conservative Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming's ouster from her House GOP leadership position, roughly 150 Republican or former Republican leaders who are opposed to former President Trump's continued strong grip over the GOP have signed a letter threatening to leave the party if it does not reform and return to its "founding American principles."
The group's statement of principles – titled a "Call for American Renewal" – was unveiled Thursday. It outlines 13 principles to guide a "rebirth of the American cause."
"We, therefore, declare our intent to catalyze an American renewal, and to either re-imagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative," the statement pledges.
The letter was spearheaded by former GOP intelligence policy strategist and 2016 independent candidate for president Evan McMullin and Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during the Trump administration.
"I'm proud to stand with over 150 prominent Republicans and independents calling for the reform of the GOP and the creation of a new home for Americans left unrepresented by political extremism," McMullin tweeted Thursday morning.
In an interview with Fox News, he emphasized that "in the light of Liz Cheney's sacking from House leadership and the rise in extremism in the Republican Party, we collectively believe it's important to articulate an alternative principals-based vision for leadership of the party and of the country."
McMullin said his group's manifesto "contains a vision for our desired leadership of the party and the country and what we intend to use to unite, organize and mobilize disaffected voters who don't feel well represented by the two major parties."

Promises, promises...
Buh-bye.
Bye!
This is perfect, and if these posers rid themselves of the party, even better!
I am as upset about this as I was about Cher’s threat to leave the county if Trump won.
The tiny fraction of NeverTrumpers who every election tell us to hold our noses and vote are leaving when it is their turn. Good Riddance.
Buh-bye.
Buh-bye!
On that list are maybe a half dozen people of whom I am aware, the rest prompt a “Who is this bum?” from me.
The GOP would lose a bunch of donkey dick sucking quislings/Judas assholes who would agree with Nancy Pelosi & AOC rounding up republicans who don’t suck /savor donkey dick & put them in camps!
Trump happened because these Jaybirds refused to provide much of an alternative to the Globalist-Socialist party when they were in charge.
See ya!!!!
All bought and paid for is my theory. They have sipped from the Hate Trump brew and feasted at the Trump is Hitler table. They have ingested the propaganda offered up 24 - 7 to the point they still believe Trump is Putin’s puppet. Best to be rid of such as they. When push comes they will pay $7 a gallon for gas, be happy to live off welfare as illegals take their jobs. The iron collars they will snap on my themselves—even buying their shackles to “Look Good” in the eyes of their media masters.
Don’t let the door hit you in the butt
I remember these people.
We would call and write and beg when they were in office and they would deliver self-rightous elitist platitudes and then go back-slap the dems and do NOTHING we ask, just every so often throw the peons a bone.
And when something really important to American workers came along, they would puff and groan, and say, “Oh, we lost by ONE vote, how terrible! But we got this really great bill, and it just looks, well, so much like what the Dems had, but TRUST US, it is GOOD for you, you’ll LIKE it...” And we would watch AMERICAN rights and jobs FLOAT AWAY to EVERYONE NOT AMERICAN>>>
Yes, I KNOW YOU...
Trump was not a creation, He was a RESPONSE of the Grassroots!
Is Paul Ryan backing them?
Is that BOR at the end of the list?
We have it in writing now hold them to it and oust them from the party.
They have outed themselves and need to be purged immediately
