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...

What a bunch of losers and has-beens.
They lost me at this
“PRINCIPLES
1. Democracy
We seek the preservation and betterment of our democratic republic...”
They don’t even know the type of government we have, which is a Constitutional Republic.
Mona Charen? I did not know that she was still alive. I barely remember her on CNN Crossfie about 30 years ago.
They should go back to their RAT holes.
The law of the threat is, you have to be willing to follow through or you lose power.
Let’s see if they mean it.
I know of / heard of three maybe four of these losers. Zero regards for any of them. Scaramucci, Sanford, Connelly, really? Buuuuwaaahaha!!!
Foundation is already there.
Thanks for Posting it.
Lots of pablum and platitudes but nothing to explain what they plan to do if they ever retain power.
Are there supposed to be specific things that these Morons wrote that counter POTUS Trump and Trumpism, or did they just use vague language to mask their true intentions, the destruction of our Constitutional Republic?
We all know the answer. Just a bunch of Traitorous scumbags masking their true intentions.
Funny how they don’t directly attack the Xiden Regime and its Socialist anti Constitutional Agenda, the easiest and obvious target. What a bunch of frigging cowards, hoping to be the last ones eaten by the Crocodile.
As my dear Mother always said, some People are so smart, they’re stupid. She is proven right on a daily basis.
I thought Kolbe and Leech and McCloskey were dead.
and Bill Weld, lol. How many times has he left the GOP?
DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY.
Hire Americans, buy American and show respect to your Country, America, 24/7.
Good Riddance!
Please, somebody, post the “Well, Bye” guy from the movie, Tombstone! Thanks!
Thank you for posting the names! I see it’s all electoral losers, has-bens, hanger-ons of old regimes with a sprinkling of recent 15 minutes of famers (only thanks to MSM). IOW, nobody relevant to today’s battle for the soul and survival of the nation. Current office holders? Maybe I missed but none on there ring a bell.
They can’t commit Seppuku. Committing Seppuku is an honor killing. They have no honor.
So glad VA sh*t canned Denver Riggleman.
All Bush League Republicans, hell bent on making America into North Mexico.
Making America North Mexico is a step towards subsuming the USA to UN so they can get to Daddy Bush’s New World Order.
They have never been real Republicans, they dress up in R jerseys so people won’t know they are Assistant Democrats, TransRepublicans.
Yep, same "members" as the Lincoln project. They are ANTI-Conservative. They swamp loving, pro-Romney liberals.
