Former president Donald Trump’s team has officially disavowed the “Patriot Party,” a fringe outfit that has tried to draw Trump’s supporters out of the Republican Party into a new third-party effort.
Fake news had been circulating that Trump was connected to the efforts of Michael Joseph Gaul of Georgia, who had suggested in a Jan. 22 filing that Trump may be connected to his incarnation of the Patriot Party. Trump’s team has made it clear in a separate FEC filing that this is not the case.
“On January 22, 2021, Patriot Party filed a Form 1 (Statement of Organization) listing [Trump’s presidential organization] as a participant in purported joint fundraising activities under 11 C.F.R. 102.17. [Trump’s presidential organization] did not authorize the filing of this Form 1, has not entered into any joint fundraising agreement to fundraise through Patriot Party, and has no knowledge of Patriot Party’s activities whatsoever,” Trump’s team wrote in the filing.
To be clear: [Trump’s presidential organization] has no affiliation with Patriot Party, which is not authorized by Mr. Trump or [Trump’s presidential organization],” the filing continued.
“[Trump’s presidential organization] is placing this disavowal notice on the public record out of concern for confusion among the public, which may be misled to believe that Patriot Party’s activities have been authorized by Mr. Trump or [Trump’s presidential organization] — or that contributions to this unauthorized committee are being made to [Trump’s presidential organization] — when that is not true,” they added in the filing.

President Trump doesn’t need someone else’s party, he’ll start his own or purify the GOP.
Either way, I go where he goes.
It’s Trump’s party.
Rinos, Libs, Deep Staters, any FBI / DOJ, consultants and “Leadrship” is welcome to leave if they don’t like it and snap into line.
fail to snap into line
It doesn’t really matter, since free and fair elections don’t exist here anymore.
Hostile takeover
Patriot Party is a stupid name. It will only sow dissension.
One year from now I predict Lizzy Borden Chaney will still be the whip, McSissy will still be leader. Myth Wrongway aka delecto will still be telling us to renounce the fraud claims and NOTHING WILL HAVE CHANGED NOT ONE LITTLE BIT.
Well, it looks like command has sent down orders.
Would you vote for a MAGA Patriot candidate over a GOP establishment candidate in the primary?
Very good. It’s time has passed.
Definitely, but my fave 3rd Party name is America First.
Then a year from now you’ll be shown, undisputably, to be a fool.
Lucky to last that long IMO.
what you said :)
I think that fixing the Republican party is preferable to starting a third party. With the conservative vote split between two parties, the DemocRATs don’t even need vote fraud to win.
Trump is certainly the man to clean up the Republican party!
Trump is free to stick with the party. But many are done.
I think he is wrong about this... but good luck. The Republicans betrayed him before. I think it is easier to start anew than remove the deadwood that will resist and screw him over with help from the Democrats. The day that Kevin McCarthy backtracked on his remarks is the the day Trump might listen... but even that!
Would you vote for a MAGA Patriot candidate over a GOP establishment candidate in the primary?
++++=
I probably would. But it would be an exercise in futility since a lot of Republican voters wouldn’t. An easy Dem win with the split in the coservative vote,
How would it turn out if the MAGA candidate ran against he establishment candidate in the Primary? He/she could end up beating the Dem.
Trump understands that and that is why there is not going to be a 3rd Party..
No disagreement here...I scratched my head when Trump met with McCarthy, but then I recalled Romney dined with the PEOTUS in Nov 2016 after Mittens savaged him prior to the election. I have and do support Trump, but I’m also looking for young leadership to take hold in or out of a particular party.
