New anti-Trump group of Republican leaders threatens to leave if GOP doesn't reform - (Popcorn)
Fox News ^ | May 13, 2021 | Paul Steinhauser

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Evan McMullin, Dave Durenberger (isn't he about 100 now?), Bill Weld??? Liz Cheney ought to be right up there and Mitt Romney!!!

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???

roughly 150 Republican or former Republican leaders

Our job is to make the article read
roughly 150 former Republican leaders

I only recognized about 13 names out of that list. One of them, Pete McCloskey, last served in 1983 and is 94 years old. He is soon going to be a former former Republican leader.

Dear TransPublicans. Just FYI, we are reforming. That's why you are leaving.

Adios, vermin.
