“I find it intensely worrisome and very depressing that one of our two major parties has become a more like a cult of personality where basically everything is measured, and everything is evaluated based upon your loyalty to one man,” Medved said.
Kent has also been one of the biggest proponents of Trump’s claims that the 2020 election contained massive voter fraud that led to President Biden’s victory.
“He said that the majority of Americans question the results of the election. Biden won the election. He won the popular vote by 7 million,” Medved said. “It’s the biggest margin. Trump lost the popular vote in 2016. He lost the popular vote in 2020, and the idea that the majority of Americans question the election, there’s no polling, there’s no data. There’s no hint that that is true.”
Medved was also disappointed in the results of Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary election, as he previously praised her work during the U.S. House Select Committee hearings on the Jan. 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol attack. Cheney lost earlier this week to Trump-endorsed political newcomer, Attorney Harriet Hageman, who more than doubled Cheney’s votes.
“What’s fascinating about this is she actually has a more conservative record on a range of issues than Harriet Hageman, who beat her, which just goes to the point. When people love President Trump, it’s not because he’s conservative, it is because he’s Trump,” Michael Medved said on the Gee and Ursula Show.
Complicating Trump’s influence on the party is the outstanding question of his possible federal indictment: The former president had to face the FBI as they raided his Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, to retrieve classified documents he kept after his term ended.
The current Republican Parry has squandered and lost our loyalty...
Medved is basically representative if the Bush/Country Club establishment wing of the party… I would be shocked to hear him say anything other than what he said on these matters.
That's the plan, and we must stick with it. It will take more than one cycle to oust the RINO traitors. This is the only way we take our country back.
I don’t get to hear them regularly, but I’ve never heard Beck or Loesch suggest anything other than the election being stolen. Beck I remember was staunch never Trumper but I think he flipped. I don’t recall Loesch being anti Trump.
I never liked Medved. The first time I heard him on the radio he came across as a simpering homosexual.
And it’s really not loyalty to one man but to the sensibility he represents. For the time being he’s its most formidable representative but I think most of us wish it were NOT just one man out front. The hope is that Trump has catalyzed a re-centered conservatism with many, many flag carriers. Trump would probably love to see himself replaced by a new crop of skillful and effective conservative leaders. It would be a satisfying consolidation of the new sensibility — foreshadowed in the Tea Party — that he was instrumental in bringing to prominence.
Medved = Clown
Medved stated he believes, more likely than not, Trump will be indicted.
“He very clearly broke the law. The Presidential Records Act is not a joke. It’s a national security law. Republicans not only used to be pro cops, some Republicans like me still are, the party also used to be pro-national security. He’s being accused of violating the Espionage Act.

“If Donald Trump is making secrets available to the whole world, or just holding on to them because he wants to sell them later as mementos or something like that, he’s got a whole lot of explaining to do.”
Clearly broke the law? Where? How? Prove it, Medved. Explain specifically in great detail. We’ll wait.
In Glenn Beck’s defense, he eventually came around
Glenn Beck warns Sean Hannity that Trump loss in 2020 would be ‘end of US as we know it’
There are people today who vote democrat because their parents did. Their parents lived FDR and/or jfk
JFK’s legacy is hohum even today. But people idolize him
If a generation from now people vote republican because their parents lived Trump then we’ll know
“Medved was also disappointed in the results of Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary election, as he previously praised her work during the U.S. House Select Committee hearings on the Jan. 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol attack.”
Says it all about Medved the scumbag.
no he didn’t! He cheated! Six states halting counting simultaneously on election night has never been answered! Who ordered the counting to be halted? Before I believe that joe and the ho won I want to see all of the paper ballots to verify that each vote was lawful! Those who claim that Biden won cannot prove that he did!
Medved lost any chance he had at a real national audience by being a slitherchicken.
In one interview he opined that Hillary was better than Trump, he was looking at Gary Johnson, libertarian, but actually postulated that Ophrah was better than Trump in terms of electability.
He was a squishy repub at best....that was the party then. Acquiese to the Dems, but the Dems got taken over by the socie’s and Marxists. At least Trump didn’t hang out with Weinstein like Hillary and Ophrah.
Medved had or is still suffering from throat cancer. I hope it is not HPV related. I wish him a good medical recovery, but his political and social analysis skills are GONE.
Back then there was a completely different set of Democrat lies I was pissed off about - the way Democrats in Congress bungled the Vietnam war, the Watergate hoax, the misguided welfare state, etc..
Medved was on the right side of those issues at the time, so I appreciated his radio show.
I have to admit though, it was very different whenever I saw him on camera - I was creeped out by what a little weirdo midget homo he was.
Skeletor is one cough away from preaching to the choir eternal. He is so 1996 it hurts to even read his words in print.
Medved is still a yutz after all these years.
Yeah, he either jumped the shark or sold his soul.
Medved was also disappointed in the results of Wyoming Rep.

Maybe she lost because she failed to represent the people of her district and instead used her office for her own interests. Nah it couldn’t be that. It was a loss due to the cult of the orange man. 40% loss. Lizzie had daddy talk about the evils of orange man not the millions killed in wars, trillions spent on wars. All I know is if I don’t trust a man to not shoot me on a hunting trip, I sure as hell won’t listen to some Dick on politics. The GOPe has jumped the shark big time. They deserve to be beaten, broken, ignored and most importantly never taken on a hunting trip.
