There Will Be A Price On Ignoring The Will Of The People

Sometimes the Republicans in Congress are bigger obstacles to a Republican President than the Democrats. Unfortunately, that may describe the current situation. There does not seem to be a price paid by Republicans who choose to support the deep state rather than the people who elected them. However, that may be about to change.

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

Elon Musk fired off a warning shot at dirty Senate RINOs on Sunday afternoon.

The squishy Trump-hating RINOs in the US Senate are already pushing back against the will of the American people and refusing to approve of President Trump’s cabinet nominees.

It should be noted, as Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) reminded the American people last week. NOT ONE SINGLE DEMOCRAT voted against ANY of Joe Biden’s radical America-hating nominees in 2020!

…Yet, five Republican Senators forced Matt Gaetz to withdraw his nomination for Attorney General after they announced they would not vote for him.

Elon warned the RINOs on Sunday that we would not give you a pass this time!

The article concludes:

We have two years to enact the Trump agenda. We will not forget the RINOs who refused to stand with Trump and his voters.

The only time a Republican Congress ever accomplished anything was under the leadership of Newt Gingrich. The reason the Republicans were not able to undo Obamacare was the pettiness of Senator John McCain. If Republicans expect Americans to vote for them, they had better start listening to what the voters want and acting accordingly.

Grasping At Straws

We all remember Bob McDonnell, Herman Cain, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and others who were smeared by the Democrats when they were moving up the ranks in the Republican Party. Some moved forward despite the false allegations. In the case of Herman Cain, the allegations disappeared as soon as he dropped his presidential campaign. In the case of Bob McDonnell, he was convicted of a crime, but the conviction was overturned unanimously by the Supreme Court. The purpose of all of the attacks on these people was to derail their careers. All of the attacks turned out to be much ado about nothing. That is the Democrat playbook. Right now the two biggest targets are Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz.

On Saturday, The Post Millennial reported:

President-elect Donald Trump‘s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has been targeted by the Associated Press for Hegseth having what the outlet claims is a tattoo associated with “white supremacy” despite the ink being a Christian slogan. Hegseth blasted the outlet for displaying “anti-Christian bigotry” by spreading the claim.

AP reporter Tara Copp posted on her X account, that Hegseth “was flagged as a possible ‘Insider Threat’ by a fellow service member due to a tattoo he has that’s associated with white supremacists,” adding a link to a report that she and others published in the post. 

The outlet cited an email that said a tattoo on Hegseth’s bicep that says “Deus Vult,” which is Latin for “God wills it” is associated with white supremacist groups. After JD Vance posted a response to the report, Hegseth chimed in and wrote that it was “anti-Christian bigotry in the media on full display.”

…Hegseth previously worked for the District of Columbia National Guard and was pulled from guarding Joe Biden’s inauguration after a fellow Guard member wrote an email to superiors saying that the “Deus Vult” tattoo made Hegseth a supposed “Insider Threat” from the military.

The attacks by the Democrats on President Trump’s cabinet picks are a bit much. The Republicans approved President Biden’s cabinet which was much less qualified than President Trump’s selections. There is a definite double standard at work here.
