Ex-Trump Official Says GOP Greater National Security Threat to U.S. Than ISIS, Al Qaeda
Newsweek ^ | 7/16/2021 | Jason Lemon

Posted on 07/16/2021 6:02:46 PM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

Former Trump administration official Miles Taylor has slammed the Republican Party, arguing that the GOP represents a greater threat to the country than U.S.-designated terrorist groups ISIS and Al Qaeda.

Taylor served as the chief of staff to the secretary of Homeland Security under former President Donald Trump from February 2019 to September 2019 and worked for the Department of Homeland Security in the previous administration for more than two years. However, Taylor went on to publicly condemn Trump and work with conservative groups to campaign against the former president ahead of the 2020 election.

During a Thursday evening interview with MSNBC, Taylor touted his credentials working in national security and said that the present-day Republican Party represents the "number one national security threat" to the country. Notably, Taylor still described himself as a member of the GOP.

The GOP is as much of a threat as a impotent rapist.

The guy is probably right about the threat posed by the GOP, but for all the wrong reasons. Treason IS a threat.

These jerks make silly statements with nothing to back them up. Of course, The Stupid Party is too gutless and lazy to call them out. If I were a Congressman or Senator, I’d rip these guys a new ... .in public, on camera.

Miles Taylor is an American former government official in the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, best known for his previously anonymous criticisms of Donald Trump.

He was a Trump administration appointee who served in the United States Department of Homeland Security from 2017 to 2019, including as Chief of Staff to former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan.

In 2018, while deputy chief of staff to Nielsen, he wrote The New York Times op-ed "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration" under the pen-name "Anonymous", which drew widespread attention for its criticism of Trump. In 2019, he published the book A Warning. He did not reveal himself to be "Anonymous" until October 2020

In August 2020, while on leave from his job at Google, he produced an ad for Republican Voters Against Trump, denouncing Trump and endorsing Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Taylor was the first former Trump administration staff member to endorse Biden

Taylor is a lifelong member of the Republican Party.

He donated to the Barack Obama campaign in the 2008 presidential election; according to Taylor, “he wanted to be able to tell his kids that he supported the first Black president of the United States.”

They’ll quite happily kill every last one of us. Everyone gets that. Right?

This guy is not a republican. He was hired by the Obama administration then held over and let go.

He’s a plant
