‘My Voice Will Be Heard!’ Livid Trump Supporter Goes Off on GOP, National Review in Video Rant
The Gateway Pundit ^ | Jan. 22, 2016 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 01/22/2016 2:30:23 PM PST by Rennes Templar

A furious backlash is building against the full-on attack by some conservative leaders led by the National Review on leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

A woman in southern California who supports Trump posted a video overnight that has captured the mood of many Trump supporters fed up with being lectured and condescended to about what it means to be “conservative.”

Kambree Nelson, a businesswoman dedicated to supporting veterans and helping the homeless, recorded the 10:48 stream of consciousness rant after watching the Kelly File on Fox News feature guests from the National Review hit team against Trump trash her candidate–and by extension his supporters. The Trump-bashing panel consisted of Dana Loesch, Brent Bozell and Katie Pavlich.

Nelson titled the video “I am LIVID at the GOP”. Speaking about the video on her Twitter account, Nelson called herself “one ANGRY American.”

Nelson says in the beginning of the video:

“…I am one of the noisy majority and I am one of the people that is voting for Donald Trump. And guess what GOP, and guess what Tea Party, I am a conservative.

“And what you guys said up there tonight was completely offensive to me. I never knew that there was a handbook that we had to abide by to be considered conservative to vote in this next election. Do I have to come to a tea party to be able to be considered considerate–and to be conservative.

“It was astonishing to me tonight. Why are we having these elections if the election has to be based upon what you guys say? Who is voting, you or the People voting?…”

Nelson is set to be a host on the upcoming Veterans TV Network in June.

Well I’ll be happy if either Cruz or Trump ends up being the nominee. But growing up and living all my life near the Canadian border... I have never met anyone who didn’t know that they were a dual citizen because one of their parents were Canadian or they were born in Canada. Even little kids in grade school knew. Ted a constitutional lawyer trying to claim that he didn’t know is just plain unbelievable. Constitutionally speaking, the question as to whether this affects his eligibility is a question that cannot be definitively answered unless a court decides one way or the other. But if he is the nominee the media and the Democrats will be all over it.

I agree with her.

These people that claim to be about “liberty” have turned into nothing but authoritarian punks that think they can harass and pressure people into voting for Cruz, when apparently he cant seal the deal on his own.

It is the epitome of desperation and snobbery.

We are not sheep to be yanked around by op/ed writers, and the more they yank the harder we dig in.

I wondered how you knew the terms you used—hose heads,and the bit about the 49th parallel. I grew up in FL, and believe me, I heard none of that.

My personal preference would be Cruz for AG. He has the training, temperament, knowledge and drive for it. Time will tell.

Btw, does anyone know the details of how Cruz suddenly discovered his Canadian citizenship? How was it that he went his whole life (supposedly) not knowing, and only stumbled upon the truth in ‘14?

I thought the Republican Party were going the way of the WHIGS. And I found that scary. But maybe only the elitist “Conservative” wing of the GOP is the awkward Dodo on the path of extinction. The GOP may survive even in this time of decline if it rises from its own defeatist ashes the way Reagan raised himself up against the geriatric lethargy of the Rockefeller Republicans of the 60s and 70s.

Thank you for referencing that article Rennes Templar. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Trump supporters need to get him up to speed on the following.

One of the very few issues that citizens should be raising their voices to the federal government about is the US Mail Service (1.8.7). In other words, most other federal government domestic services are actually based on 10th Amendment-protected state powers and associated state revenues which corrupt Congress has been stealing from the states in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes.

Previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had put it this way.

The Founding States had intended for citizens to work with local and state lawmakers, not the federal government, to establish ”government” services where most domestic issues are concerned.

Remember in November !

So if patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work strictly within its Section 8-limited powers to support the president.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

I would think that someone here could give us the official version of how it was that Senator Cruz suddenly realized he ought to renounce his Canadian citizenship. It might have been a revelation that came about after media outlets found documents that seemed to show that both his parents were supposedly eligible to vote in Canadian elections. This is something that is normally reserved for legal citizens.

Most people I have known do not like to give it up dual citizenship because there can be both perceived and real benefits. I registered for the draft while I was attending Western Washington University in Bellingham WA... about 15 miles from the border. One of my buddies told me his mother was originally from Canada so if he got drafted he was just going to go to Canada since he was a dual citizen. It seemed a little chicken s**t to me at the time.

Anyone actually watch this video? This woman has no clue what Conservatism is. It's just an 11 minute long hysterical rant on why she is angry.

"My best friend is a lesbian." - So that's Conservatism?

Thanks for your additional input. I can imagine advantages to being a dual citizen. Winning a US presidential election wouldn’t be one of them.

I did a search and read the official version online. As the story goes, the Dallas Morning News looked into it, and published a story in August, 2013, in which it was stated that Cruz had Canadian citizenship. Why that led to a renunciation in ‘14 wasn’t stated. (You’d think he’d have cleared it up immediately.) But fwiw, that’s their story and they’re sticking to it.

I’ll bet she’s pissed. Obviously, she’s worked for a living and overcome some major hardships. Now she is well off and successful, most likely through hard work. Then she sees the Fox crowd, noses in the air, fresh from the makeup artist, schmoozing all day as they sashay around the office until it’s time to read the TelePromptR. Then they’re telling her and us what’s what. Yeah... annoying.

“This lady needs her own show!”

Actually, I think she said she’ll have a show on a new veterans network or something. She’ll be their answer to Jeanine Pirro.

"As a Hail Mary play, [the National Review Dump Trump edition] reeks of desperation."

I thought Scott Adams had the funniest characterization of the NR anti-Trump rant:

National Review's cover story, in which the big question comes down to whether Trump is a true conservative or not, is your tell for capitulation on the right. The left is still in the fight, but the right just capitulated to Trump.
In the 2D world, it might seem that National Review's organized resistance of "thought leaders" opposed to Trump is a big deal. But that incorrectly assumes "thought" was ever important.
In the 3D world of persuasion, National Review's move is nothing but throwing the gun at the monster because the clip is empty.

If you want to read all of Adams' analyses of Trump's irresistible trek to a landslide victory in the general election (Adams' prediction last August!), check him out. He's got the most insightful commentary on Trump I've ever read yet.
