In the wake of conservative Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming's ouster from her House GOP leadership position, roughly 150 Republican or former Republican leaders who are opposed to former President Trump's continued strong grip over the GOP have signed a letter threatening to leave the party if it does not reform and return to its "founding American principles."
The group's statement of principles – titled a "Call for American Renewal" – was unveiled Thursday. It outlines 13 principles to guide a "rebirth of the American cause."
"We, therefore, declare our intent to catalyze an American renewal, and to either re-imagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative," the statement pledges.
The letter was spearheaded by former GOP intelligence policy strategist and 2016 independent candidate for president Evan McMullin and Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during the Trump administration.
"I'm proud to stand with over 150 prominent Republicans and independents calling for the reform of the GOP and the creation of a new home for Americans left unrepresented by political extremism," McMullin tweeted Thursday morning.
In an interview with Fox News, he emphasized that "in the light of Liz Cheney's sacking from House leadership and the rise in extremism in the Republican Party, we collectively believe it's important to articulate an alternative principals-based vision for leadership of the party and of the country."
McMullin said his group's manifesto "contains a vision for our desired leadership of the party and the country and what we intend to use to unite, organize and mobilize disaffected voters who don't feel well represented by the two major parties."
He argued that in the wake of the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by right- wing...

Oh, no! For the love of all that is holy ... NOT HIM!!!
:-P
Leave already!
So what’s the problem?
Talk is cheap. Just do it.
Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.
For the RINO traitors who don't leave with Lizard -- a tidal wave is coming for you in the 2022 primaries!
What this collection of morons doesn’t realize is that the Marxist Leninist Stalinist opposition is not interested in creating coalitions or compromise or a dialogue; they want absolute power and will kill as many as necessary to get it. See the 20th century.
Oh noes ... whatever will we do without backstabbing cucks in our midst?
yep, please go, at best they take 10% of the votes, we don’t care. principle counts
Please leave, we will take the shell of the Republican party which is registered in all 50 states and get our people elected. You all can start up a new party, good luck getting it done and your candidates on the ballot in all 50 states over the next 18 months. Note our Republican party will fight your every step in each of the 50 states.
We have this in writing!! YAY!
How are the 13 principals counter to what Trump stands for?
...former GOP intelligence policy strategist and 2016 independent candidate for president Evan McMullin ...
LOLOLOLOOLOL
Like everything else connected to Washington, this is just about the money. The uniparty had everything set up and running pretty smoothly with regard to milking the system for themselves and their supporters. Trump comes along and starts telling the truth asking question that they didn’t want asked, and getting the American people to start paying attention to what’s really going on and it’s a total calamity for them. Some of the pretenders in the Republican party are now working to stay on some kind of gravy train (probably Soros’) as opposed to actually having to work at a real job in the private sector. Remember, it’s always about the money with these people.
Tantrums aren't cute in children. But they are insufferable in adults.
All bark, no teeth
“threatening to leave the party if it does not reform and return to its “founding American principles.”
And those principles are to lie to the base to get elected and then not fight for conservative ideals and principles.
We should all help them leave by voting those that are current office holders (like Cheney) out in their primaries. I know I’ll be doing that here in Wy.
The funny thing is, if you read the list, that’s exactly what Trump has been doing with his candidacy, presidency, and post-presidency. We know that some of the statements have a double-meaning, but they are Trump’s platform if read at face value.
Good you guys leave so I don’t have too. Why don’t you guys joing the commiecrats with the rest of the losers like Pelosi and Chuckie,
