"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.

I urge all RINOs to join and to quit the Republican Party. It will save us the trouble of throwing your worthless asses out if you leave on your own.
Buh Bye
I still do not know what Trump has done to anger all these RINO whackjobs? Everything their preamble says, Trump did in his four years in office.
They are all TransRepublicans.
I’ve never seen anything like this man they call Trump. He gets the truth out of people, breaking down their carefully crafted images and turning them into raving lunatics admitting loudly and publicly exactly who they are. It’s staggering to watch.
WOW! I’ve actually heard of 10 of them.
or FORMER Republican leaders - lol :P
OK Bye.....Don’t let the door hit you in the A$$ on the way out.
And these olds believe they will uphold written principles facilitating election of progressive fascists? Hypocrites or exponentially stupid or both Also Joe Walsh a signer Deadbeat Dad grifter with several foreclosures under his belt. Should compile a list of all their character flaws And communicate loud and often
So, a group of “Republicans” are going to finally stop wearing the “R” jersey while voting like a “D.” Sounds like a win from where I am sitting.
While afternoon host on WINDin Chicago market Joe Walsh was suspended and almost fired for saying naked repeatedly on air Racist much Deadbeat DAd Joe?
Awesome. And the 75 million who voted for Trump laugh at your weakness and overwhelming desire to be liked. Now go join the Democrat Party and stop deceiving everyone over and over that you are simply a concerned Republican. You are not, and your ruse is over.
Isn't there some foolproof way to help these Bozos get their group up and running?
Liz has more time now, and she will have lots more time after the next election.
What a marvelous group??? Where can I get my card to carry, as long as it requires no contribution of time or money???
So basically they are threatening the GOP to return to the good ole Romney McCain Cheney days huh? Yeah.....good luck with that. Dumba$$es......and you know they read this too.
F off fools. DeSantis, Trump, and full steam ahead! You’re day is done and will never return. Suck it easy.......
Leave, as in join the Democrats? Or start their own party?
Don’t let the door hit you on the rear on the way out!
Hey Evan and all you RINOs, dont threaten me with a good time. Bye Felicia!
