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.

Let’s face it - commies have killed over a hundred million people in the last hundred years... and they’ll do the same here if we give them power.

That's true, but enough to get you in a reeducation camp.

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


*********
Louie Gohmert would never say such a thing.

*********
Correct.
Pelosi, the HO, Dementia Joe, Maxine Waters and a whole host of Dem “leaders” did say that and worse, though.
Not to mention Chris Cuomo (CNN) with his “Who says demonstrations have to be peaceful?”

Yet they don’t criticize Dems who do the same things 10 times worse.

If you can’t really see the fact that Republicans are nothing more than chickenshit dems then you have a real problem.
WALK AWAY NOW!

This is like the National Review vs John Birch Society feud from long past.

I think Bill Kristol’s group has always been different than the Lincoln Project.

Are these “guys” basically the same people as the “Lincoln” Project or are they a different set of degenerates?

Most of us are more worried about communism, transgenderism, high priced housing, murder in the streets, election rigging, and environmental job wipeouts than Congresswoman Greene.

You provide nothing to substantiate your claim.

Yes, it shoots down balloons. Interception rate is close to 100%. Also takes down low level drones, kites and such.

Why are the Jews thrown in with space lasers? Who put those lasers into space? Does Israel have a space program?

This is just words thrown into a slander to include any and everyone possible.
