GOP group blasts Republicans who promote 'lies, violence and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories'

A new ad from an anti-Trump Republican group attacks the former president's allies in Congress, urging voters to reject some members of a party that peddles "lies, violence and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories."

The roughly 60-second spot, by the Republican Accountability Project, features clips of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) declaring that Trump "won this election," and one of Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) urging people to "go to the streets and be violent."

The spot will appear during Fox News' primetime lineup starting next week, the Huffington Post reported.

It also takes aim at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for promoting unfounded conspiracy theories about "jewish space lasers" causing California wildfires.

Cheney and Kinzinger were among 10 House Republicans to vote in favor of impeaching Trump for a second time, charging him with inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6 after he told supporters to march to the Capitol to contest the official counting of the Electoral College votes that affirmed President Biden's victory in the 2020 election.

The vote nearly cost Cheney her leadership position in Congress as conference chair. Kinzinger said he believed his vote likely meant the end of his political career.

While McCarthy at first placed blame on Trump for the Capitol riot, he remained steadfast in opposing impeachment then later met with Trump at Mar-a-Largo. McCarthy also later placed blame on the insurrection on "everybody across this country."

"To save the soul of the Republican Party, we must stand up for those who act with integrity and against the ones that lie," the ad says.

The Republican Accountability Project is an offshoot of Defending Democracy together, a never-Trump conservative group.

We need to get in the fight. If Trump is not going to do it, we need someone to step up and do it. Not knocking Trump, he has more then done his part. But he will be tied-up in the senate and in courts for the foreseeable future. And I know we are a big, BIG movement. I don’t have the ability to do it myself, but I will support it with all that I have. Who will step-up and be our champion?

Exactly, there is no such thing as a nevertrump conservative because Trump stood for all the things that true ck serrations stand for. Praying for a defeat of the faux Republicans in congress come midterm. Send a loud clear message that TRUE conservatives are NOT part of the unparty!

The Republican Party has no soul. Or convictions or principles.

" Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) urging people to "go to the streets and be violent."

Louie Gohmert would never say such a thing....the enemy is Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House...her unchecked, visceral hate for President Trump has led to something akin to Grimm's Fairy Tales about our 45 President. Maxine Waters is one of the few who would tell American citizens to be violent.

Anti-semitic? The closest I’ve seen Q-Anon be to anti-Semitic is marveling at the Epstein shrine’s obvious Israeli design. But he’s very ancillary to Q-Anon.

Ground based too

Ironically used to shoot down balloons carrying incendiaries launched from Gaza to start wildfires in Israel.
