A group of at least 100 Republican former officials is threatening to form a separate party if the GOP does not separate itself from former President Donald Trump, according to multiple media reports. The “Call for American Renewal,” first reported by Reuters and NBC News, is expected to be detailed in a letter released Thursday. It is being organized by Miles Taylor, a former Trump administration official who penned the then-anonymous New York Times’ op-ed “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,” in 2018.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) â Over 100 former Republican officials will sign a letter on Thursday declaring that if the Republican Party does not break with former President Donald Trump and change course, they will back the creation of a third party.
The letter, headlined: âA Call For American Renewal,â is an exploratory move toward forming a breakaway party, two of its organizers said. The group is dismayed by what it says is a modern Republican Party driven by its allegiance to Trump, who continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from him.
âThe Republican Party is broken. Itâs time for a resistance of the ârationalsâ against the âradicals, â said Miles Taylor, one of the organizers. Taylor, while serving in the Trump White House, wrote an anonymous opinion piece in the New York Times in 2018 headlined: âI Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration.â

A prominent Israel-based author called The New York Times the godfather of fake news.
During an interview with Breitbart on Monday, Ashley Rindsberg said the newspaper has deliberately and radically altered history. He added the publication is guilty of everything it claims to hate, and that type of reporting is dangerous.
Rindsberg cited a debunked article from last summer, in which The New York Times claimed Russia was paying Islamist groups in Afghanistan bounties for the killing of American troops.

On a cold Friday morning in February, 120 well-known conservatives gathered via Zoom. The meeting was unadvertised and invite-only, and under Chatham House Rule, attendees agreed to not publicly reveal the identity of others outside of that setting.
They were greeted by Mindy Finn, the political and technology expert who became Evan McMullin’s 2016 runningmate during his independent presidential campaign. McMullin was there, too he organized the event alongside Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security official under former President Donald Trump. They called the gathering “The New Conservatives Summit,” its invitees representing a wide array of conservative thought: former members of Congress and former governors; prominent academics and pundits; disillusioned Trump aides and staunch Never Trumpers;
