Meijer’s Defeat Shows Republican Intolerance for Trump’s Antagonists (NY Times not happy)

WASHINGTON — The defeat on Tuesday of Representative Peter Meijer of Michigan, the young conservative scion of a supermarket empire who voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump, was another sign that the party’s conservative core is bent on casting out those who have dared to break with Mr. Trump, who has embarked on a revenge tour aimed at punishing his adversaries.

Mr. Meijer was defeated by a far-right challenger endorsed by Mr. Trump, becoming the second of 10 Republicans who broke with the party to back impeachment to be ousted in a G.O.P. primary.

Republican voters in the Grand Rapids-based district rejected Mr. Meijer in favor of John Gibbs, a former official at the Department of Housing and Urban Development with a history of firing off inflammatory, conspiratorial tweets. He earned the former president’s backing after Mr. Meijer supported impeaching Mr. Trump for inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, calling him “unfit for office.”

With Mr. Meijer’s loss, more than half of the Republicans who voted to impeach Mr. Trump — at least six of the 10 — will not return to Congress next year. His defeat underscored the continuing appetite among right-wing voters who form the party’s base to force out those who defied the former president.

Two other Republicans who voted to impeach Mr. Trump — Representatives Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse — were also facing challenges on Tuesday from Trump-endorsed opponents.

As of early Wednesday morning, both Ms. Herrera Beutler and Mr. Newhouse appeared to be faring better, aided in part by an open primary system and a crowded field of challengers. But there were many ballots left outstanding.

The 2020 Elections were stolen by the DemonRats and we all know it now.

All of the elections in the following states were uncertifiable---Arizona, Nevada, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgis are all in this category.

We need to clean up D.C. now!!!

Everything in this country is lopsided now that the DemonRats are in control. Is that just a coincidence???

This crapping POTUS health has been in question. We knew this when he had at least 3 to maybe more Brain Aneurysms since part of his brain is missing.

Biden's brain is not very good at all and we all know that Biden is being controlloed by the Obama, Soros, and maybe Gates committee.

I thought Trump’s influence was done.

[grey_whiskers]

All of the elections in the following states were uncertifiable---Arizona, Nevada, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgis are all in this category.

And many of the *voters* in those states (the flesh-and-blood ones, not the fake ballots) are certifiable.

[SunkenCiv]

The locals and coworkers with whom I discussed it the day after the election knew it was stolen at that time. Even the DNC's rank and file stooges know it was stolen, they are just 100 percent in favor of it, and 100 percent in favor of never saying it out loud.

It is not a good idea to vote against your voters.

Notice that the writer Edmondson reported no facts but did an excellent job ‘framing’ her editorial comments.

We must keep the purge of RINOs going and at all levels of government.
