More than 100 Republicans, including some former elected officials, are preparing to release a letter this week threatening to form a third party if the Republican Party does not make certain changes, according to an organizer of the effort.
The statement is expected to take aim at former president Donald Trumpâs stranglehold on Republicans, which signatories to the document have deemed unconscionable.
The letter, headlined: A Call For American Renewal, is an exploratory move toward forming a breakaway party, two of its organizers, including former White House staffer Miles Taylor (right) said.
Gaggle of RINOs led by a proven liar threaten to form a new party
This comes before the ousting of Trump-hating Liz Cheney from her leadership position.
The statement, set to be released Thursday, involves a “Call for American Renewal,” a credo that declares that it is imperative to “either reimagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative.” The push will include 13 yet-to-be-revealed principles that the signatories want the GOP to embrace.
All of the people mentioned so far are RINOs who came out against him several times over the past four years. They never said anything against communista Biden.
Bret Baier was on Fox Business this morning making note of the fact that a group of Republicans is forming and threatening a third party if the GOP doesn’t dump Trump. He said that Liz Cheney might have picked up support.
Upon further investigation, we found that the Republicans are the same losers who have been attacking Trump for four years. They don’t support Cheney, and merely want to destroy Trump and the agenda.
The ‘new’ group include Evan McMullin – Bill Kristol’s minion, Christie Todd Whitman, former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge; former Transportation Secretary Mary Peters; and former GOP Reps. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, Barbara Comstock of Virginia, Reid Ribble of Wisconsin, and Mickey Edwards of Oklahoma.
