Hogan Calls Trump ‘Toxic’ for the GOP and the Country
IJR ^ | May 16, 2021 | Bradley Cortright

Posted on 05/17/2021 11:22:20 AM PDT by Hojczyk

During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Hogan was asked if he shared Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-Wyo.) view that Trump is an “ongoing threat to American democracy.”

“I think he’s toxic for the Republican Party and for the country,” Hogan responded. “And I think we’ve got to find a way to get the Republican Party back to the party of Lincoln and Reagan, get back to the more traditional big-tent party that can appeal to a majority of people.”

He added, “Otherwise we simply aren’t going to have control, we’re not going to get the White House back and we won’t have control of the House and the Senate.”

When asked if he believes that Cheney’s removal from House Republican leadership sends a message that people who share her views are not welcome in the party, he said, “It certainly appears to send that signal.”

While he said it is “very early in the fight” over which direction the party should go, he called the move to oust Cheney a “mistake.”

“To ostracize somebody, remove them from their leadership position, is crazy … It’s kind of doubling down on failure. We’ve lost the White House, the House, and the Senate over the past four years, and to continue to, you know, do the exact same thing and expect a different result is the definition of insanity,” Hogan added.

Guess you weren't paying attention.

8 out of 10 people don’t know what/who a Hogan is, the other 2 don’t care.

Hey, Hogan. You can always join up with your fellow travelers in the Communist Party. You really do not belong with real Americans in any case.

If Trump is “toxic”, then so is economic success, foreign policy success- like progress towards peace in the Middle East, and racial justice is also, as Trump has achieved much more than Biden ever will or could.

That also means that almost all Republican voters will be poisoned and die. Which solves a really big problem for Biden and his Never Trump brethren. Good thing Biden is non-toxic. I wonder if he is hypoallergenic and non GMO, also?

The stupid over use and distortion of words like “toxic” is your clear tell that the speaker is an idiot, and a doormat for leftists.

Yep, I don’t mind that Trump is poison to feckless globalists.
