WaPo Columnist Max Boot: ‘GOP Can’t Be Saved,’ We Must Become ‘Biden Republicans’
Breitbart ^ | 4/9/2021 | joshua klein

Posted on 04/09/2021 6:02:41 PM PDT by bitt

A recent Washington Post article written by Post columnist and prominent “Never Trumper” Max Boot attacks the GOP for having “shifted to kooks” and become a “cult of personality” and a bastion of “irrationality,” “conspiracy mongering,” and “racism,” while calling for those on “center-right” GOP voters to join in support of President Biden.

The Wednesday article, titled “The GOP can’t be saved. Center-right voters need to become Biden Republicans,” begins with a quote from Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), one of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump earlier this year, stating that Trump is a “Republican usurper” and he would not let Trump “take the party” and he’d “fight like hell” to ensure so.

Despite admiring Kinzinger’s “fighting spirit,” which Boot claims he once shared, the Post columnist recalls that the day following the 2016 election, he “re-registered as an independent after a lifetime as a Republican,” a decision he writes that he never regretted because the GOP “has become even more of a horror show than I anticipated.”

Quoting former House speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Boot claims “the ‘crazies’ have taken over” the Republican party, as he laments the lack of “John McCain-style Republicans,” of which Kinzinger is described as one.

“The party’s center of gravity has shifted to kooks” like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and “low-rent hucksters” such as Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Boot writes.

Boot continues by accusing Republicans of apathy toward supposed Trump administration wrongdoings.

“Most Republicans don’t care that Trump locked up children, cozied up to white supremacists, tear-gassed peaceful protesters, benefited from Russian help in both of his campaigns, egregiously mishandled the pandemic, incited a violent attack on the Capitol and even faced fraud complaints from his own donors,” he writes.

I’ve got a good idea of what to do with a big boot (say a Whites’ logging boot) and Max boot.

Cheney, Kinsinger, Murkowsky and Romney are Biden Republicans.

“Trump locked up children, cozied up to white supremacists, tear-gassed peaceful protesters, benefited from Russian help in both of his campaigns, egregiously mishandled the pandemic, incited a violent attack on the Capitol and even faced fraud complaints from his own donors”

Item by item, he did none of those things.

Except the upsell on the donor website did kick me up to an extra 50 bucks once. I let it slide. It’s standard marketware, that’s what it does.

Other then that, these are all utter nonsense, and shows that the foreigner Mr. Boot was always on the other side.

So now he’s gone home to the Bolshevik Party, which was the party of his parents, grandparents, and great grandparents, or else they would have left the Soviet Union decades before they did.

Why does Breitbart give him publicity? He’s not a Republican. He’s been hired by the media to attack conservatives for over ten years.

Anyone, Democrat or Republican, who would vote for that superannuated blowhard with the mental acuity of a potted turnip should have his head examined. The position of a McCain or a Max Boot with respect to the Communists who have taken control of the Democrat party can only be described as prone, and I don’t share it.
