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!”
That is amazing but have you heard my story? I am 77 years old, I stand six feet and four inches barefoot and weigh 240. Just five years ago I weighed around 260, had a 54 inch chest and seventeen and one half inch biceps and was bull strong. Now I am on constant oxygen at maximum levels for a nasal cannula and struggle to take a shower without help. All this I will swear to under oath. Now here is the part you may be excused for being skeptical about. I have decided that I identify as a ninety pound ballerina and plan to appear onstage in the Big Apple soon! I am doing this in an attempt to do something more absurd than Christine Todd Whitman is doing.
RINO ALERT!!
Two TRAITORS.
LET THEM VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS.
REAL CONSERVATIVES WILL VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT !!!
They , democrats and their allies are trying to ruin this GREAT country.
Well they should be afraid. They won’t be officials much longer.
By "some" is meant "two". Yahoo distributes agitprop by Cheryl Teh, Partisan Media Shill alert.
This lady ought to keep her mouth shut! She killed more Americans than Bin Laden: https://youtu.be/BxdttHY59b4
If Whitman and that traitor jerk were ever “Republicans” they certainly aren’t now.
Miles Taylor and that flake Christine Todd Whitman are warmed over democrat nobodies.
Public showing their anger over what this administration is doing to the country......
Damn. Now we don’t get to make fun of her name and fume about her rulings. Here’s a slogan for her. “Elect Dumbass. C’mon. Where’s your sense of humor.”
Please, please dear GOD let it be so! Trump’s heart was in the right place, he had the backbone and the work ethic, the determination intelligence to be a GREAT leader. But we should face facts; he’s a piss poor judge of character, and he believes everyone has the same incentives as himself. Just as Bush left Clinton’s crooks in office, Trump left Obama’s communist toadies in office. With your own team working against you, you have zero chance of winning. I purely love Donald Trump, but he’s done some stupid shit.
Well said.
