Two GOP officials urged voters to make sure "rational Republicans" don't lose the "GOP civil war."
The op-ed was written by Miles Taylor, a Trump-era Department of Homeland Security chief of staff, and Christine Todd Whitman, a former Republican Gov. of New Jersey.
They highlighted the need to elect a "strong contingent of moderate Democrats" in 2022.
Two GOP officials have urged Republican voters to vote Democrat in the 2022 midterm elections, suggesting that this might be a way for the GOP to "battle pro-Trump extremists."
Miles Taylor, a Trump-era Department of Homeland Security chief of staff, and Christine Todd Whitman, a former Republican Gov. of New Jersey, penned an op-ed in The New York Times on Monday. Taylor was the Trump administration official who, under the pen name "Anonymous", wrote a 2018 op-ed in The Times describing a "resistance" of Trump administration officials working to tamper the former president's "worst inclinations."
Together, Taylor and Whitman asked that the GOP's base consider supporting Democrats so that "conservative pragmatists" could retake control of the party.
"Rational Republicans are losing the party civil war. And the only near-term way to battle pro-Trump extremists is for all of us to team up on key races and overarching political goals with our longtime political opponents: the Democrats," Taylor and Whitman wrote.
"It's a strategy that has worked," they wrote. "Mr. Trump lost re-election in large part because Republicans nationwide defected, with seven percent who voted for him in 2016 flipping to support Joe Biden, a margin big enough to have made some difference in key swing states."

Christine Todd Whitman again?! She’s a Republican? LOL!
The GOP is a Democrat front which now openly asks Republicans to vote for Democrats over Republicans.
Yes, an op-ed in the NYT is a sure way to reach Republican voters!
Hey, Whitman.... know any moderate Democrats? And how exactly does electing Democrats help moderate Republicans?
More importantly, I want as many Trump supporters as possible to volunteer for election worker positions throughout the country. The good news is that we will have an easier time “stopping the steal” in the toss-up congressional districts, because they rarely include inner-city precincts, where most of the corruption is, anyway.
These “officials” should be booted from the GOP. Make them join the Democrat Party that they love so much.

It is way past time to put the GOPeahens out into the barnyard and get a real party for Patriots going, and make sure all of our Candidates are constitutionalists, period.
A RINOs RINO, if there ever was one. Screw them.
Did either of these two nitwits read what they supposedly wrote?
If you are pro-America First, are for real borders, lower taxes and more jobs, you are an extremist {and by definition, pro-Trump}.
Does anyone believe a single mind would be changed by this tripe?
“Hi, I’m a Republican but will vote for demoncraps because communism is somehow better than lower taxes and a secure border.” ~ Christie “I’m GOP. Really I am” Whitman.
How is Christine Todd Whitman a GOP official? She’s a washed up former RINO has been Governor who also lied to all the Ground Zero workers as head of the EPA.
Ever since Goldwater. I tell my wife all the time, “They ain’t gonna let you live the way you want and know is right.”
Christine Todd Whitman and Miles Taylor..
" A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly." "But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself." "For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men." "He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist." "A murderer is less to fear.." ― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Bush appointee, Christine Todd Whitman killed hundreds of brave First Responders when she claimed that the air quality at the 9/11 ‘pit’ was safe.
Dont worry next they will be supporting a libertarian candidate with a good chance of helping the rat win
Playbook as old as dirt
Fortunately, nobody pays attention to that irrelevant woman.
Whistles was NEVER a true Republican!
The evil ones keep outing themselves.
7 % of Republicans did not flip; they were flipped by voter fraud.
