But the majority whip position, the third ranking House Republican responsible for convincing the conference how to vote, is going to be a free-for-all. Whoever fills it will say a lot about the direction of the GOP going forward.
Right now, NRCC Tom Emmer is campaigning for the job, and according to many accounts, he has significant support including from the party’s supposed conservative flank.
So since Emmer is running to direct the entire House Republican conferences’ votes, it’s worth asking: how has he voted in the past? It turns out his voting record for conservative, America First types, is highly problematic.
Just a few months ago Emmer voted to legalize gay marriage. He’s voted to block Trump’s transgender military ban and voted on four separate occasions in favor of sexual orientation and gender identity protections for government contractors. Juxtapose that with House Republicans promising to combat the far-Left’s cultural insanity and prevent girls from being forced to compete against biological males.
Who should we believe? Conservatives who are fighting tough political battles to stand for principles in spite of the cost? Or political hacks like Emmer who will say anything to gain power and then stick a shiv in those who enabled their victory (in this case, conservatives and America First advocates)? Majority Whip Emmer would have the House GOP prioritizing “marriage equality,” while standing by and watching as “female” Marines with Adam’s apples march past and religious hospitals are forced to perform mastectomies on pre-teen girls.
