A baffling Trump endorsement in Tennessee has caused quite a stir in MAGA country. If you haven’t been paying close attention to political minutiae lately, Politico has the story:
Former President Donald Trump is facing serious backlash from die-hard loyalists over his decision to intervene in a Tennessee House race, with his supporters accusing him of spurning a staunch Republican ally who’s running. Trump on Tuesday evening endorsed Morgan Ortagus, who served as a State Department spokesperson during his administration and is pondering a run for a Middle Tennessee-based congressional district. The announcement has caused a firestorm, with far-right, high-profile backers ranging from North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn to conservative activist Candace Owens taking to social media to voice their support for Robby Starbuck, a rival candidate who’s been a mainstay of the pro-Trump movement. [Politico] Is this all just a tempest in a teapot? Our research indicates this Trump endorsement is even worse than you might have thought at first glance. Megan Ortagus might be President Trump’s former State Department spokesperson, but she holds GOP establishment neocon views that are diametrically opposed to the America First, MAGA-movement.
Mere hours after Trump’s endorsement, The National Pulse publicized statements Ortagus had made vowing to “faithfully [serve] the incoming Biden Administration,” and trashing Trump back during the 2016 race. It turns out that, in 2016, she dutifully repeated all of the Never Trump talking points of the GOP establishment:
“You have somebody who makes fun of people with mental and physical disabilities. That’s disgusting; there’s no other way around it,” remarked Ortagus in January 2016 during an interview with Fox News. Ortagus, while working for a super PAC associated with Trump’s primary opponent former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, said she “fundamentally disagree[d]” with Trump’s approach to foreign policy. “In his gut, he does not think that Americans should be, quote unquote, the policemen of the world,” she said during a 2016 panel discussion dissecting Trump’s foreign policy speech. “I don’t see it that way. I think that America is the glue that holds the world together. … So there were points that I agreed with him today, but overall, I fundamentally disagree with his isolationist approach to foreign policy,” she added. Ortagus and her second husband were married by the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in 2000. [National Pulse] Getting married by Ruth Bader Ginsburg might simply reflect a profound lack of taste in Ortagus’ personal life that can be overlooked, but championing America as the “policemen of the world,” casting President Trump’s policies as “isolationist,” and stating that she “fundamentally disagrees” with Trump’s America First, Jacksonian approach to foreign policy are political sins that cannot be forgiven.
Of course, many people criticized Donald Trump in 2016, and later came around on the importance of the political realignment he led. The issue with Ortagus, however, isn’t limited to her criticism of Trump—it’s her clear failure to have learned anything after serving in his administration.
If Ortagus is elected to the House, she will become one of the most extreme warhawks in the Republican Party—a natural ally of figures like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Her Twitter timeline features a cascading list of demands that America get involved in a dizzying array of foreign entanglements.
Ortagus calls for the US government to ship more weapons to Ukraine, immediately:
All you who wonder about the next election, go to Cleta Mitchell’s info on line..
She was on Americas Voice this eve, and she knows what has been and what is planned.
She has been in the GA mess.. Shes seen the millions come in and the ballot stuffing.. And more is planned by the rich and liberal.
Unfortunately many of Trumps picks have been shaky. It’s his Achilles’ heel.
That jeb t shirt doesnt give her any points.
More cia than maga
GW gave.donated a lot of money to liz chaney, and that other woman ..anti Trumper.
Is GW going to live his life going after those he has an axe for, ?
He went in to iraq to even a score.. Sadam tried to get GWs daddy.
That’s right, they were good friends.
Classic Trump. He constantly goes off half-cocked on hiring or endorsing people.
Not only that, but he enabled this whole covid mess because he didn’t can Fauci and Burks when it became clear to everyone else they were idiots.
Roy Moore Lost because he was a threat to McConnell. He was openly opposed by Senator Shelby (and other republican establishment senators). Shelby and several other republicans openly supported the Democratic candidate. The media and their fake scandal didn’t help. Lastly, there was lots of voter fraud in Birmingham, all helped to erase a 7 point lead in a weeks time.
There were a lot of shady things surrounding jones’ campaign.
i dont donut I was a local take down. . It was was a cluster. Think aboutr i local or National impacted. My guess it was local. Pathetic. It sucks.
