A New Pro-Trump Super PAC Takes Aim at the Republican Establishment

A group of pro-Trump media figures are launching a super PAC aimed at making an impact in the 2018 midterms.

Jeff Giesea, Mike Cernovich, and Jack Posobiec, organizers of the “Deploraball” party to celebrate President Trump’s inauguration earlier this year, are behind the super PAC, which is being called #Rev18. All three are known quantities in the pro-Trump alternative media that emerged during the campaign and presidency, powered by Trump’s rise; they have since distanced itself from more extreme alt-right figures, often favoring the term “new right.” Cernovich has become known as an occasional breaker of news about the White House, while Posobiec rose to prominence after playing a key role in the #MacronLeaks story.

The trio plans to back anti-establishment primary challengers in the midterms.

“Our goal is to top-grade the GOP,” Giesea said in a press release the group will release on Monday. “This means defeating entrenched establishment politicians and replacing them with candidates who support American sovereignty and prosperity, and who put the American citizen first.” The group’s first endorsement is of Josh Mandel, the Senate candidate in Ohio, who is one of three Republican primary candidates there.

First thing they need to do is define themselves as not alt-right, rather than let the left define them as such.

Funny. What’s in a name? Josh Mandel, a recommended Republican in Ohio. In Maryland, the Mandels are yellow dog democRATS. In days of yore, a Mandel was Guvnah of Maryland. I’m pretty sure there are Mandels in Nancy Pelosi’s pedigree.

I not sure that they are aware of the “other” Rev 18:

REV18: 01 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. REV18: 02 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. REV18: 03 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

It’s past time ... overdo... for the GOP who have not backed our President to get the boot from those who can give it to them! For a man/woman who claimed to be a Republican and ran on that platform, to treat Trump like they have.... needs to be run out of Washington on a rail!! There is NO excuse to turn on our President and us voters who put him into the Oval Office.

They believed the media on where the country’s heart is.. They believed the mistaken assumption the country is far left. Thank God we, who still have some sense, are still a viable bunch out here!

not sure about the other two, but cernovich himself used the term alt right to describe himself, and he had Baked Alaska (Tim Treadstone) on his payroll.

I also find it completely hilarious they’re including Posobiec of rape Melania sign holding fame, who got himself fired from rebel media for plagiarizing an at right youtubers material.

We’ve got to come up with a new name. Although I’m registered as one, I’m embarrassed to say that I’m a Republican. And Independent is just so wishy washy.

“Constitutional Conservative” works for me.

You may call it “Pelosi’s pedigree. I call it her “woodpile!” She is not pure in any manner. She is more like a mongrel bitch.

>>“Constitutional Conservative” works for me.<<

My family will fully support this new PAC because we would like to see every single RINO thrown out of office. We have the same degree of disdain for them that we do for Antifa, BLM, and the NFL kneelers.
