Earlier this week, on CNN’s “This Morning”, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer revealed that he was meeting with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after the midterm elections in an effort to persuade Republican senators to repudiate “MAGA Republicans.”
Co-host Kaitlan Collins asked Schumer, “Are you going to talk to Mitch McConnell? What does that look like?”
Schumer responded:
I’m going to say to the Republicans in the Senate who are not the MAGA Republicans, stop letting them lead your party. Work with us to get things done. I intend to sit down with Mitch McConnell and express that.
He added, “I intend to sit down with him and say we should be working together. You’re not going to get the extremists in your party to work with anybody, but the rest of us can work together and get some real things done for the American people.”
Then, co-host Don Lemon asked Schumer the following:
I’m wondering what is different? What is going to be different this time with the MAGA Republicans? You said that before. Please work with us. Why is it different this time?
Schumer responded:
It’s different this time because they lost. The red wave proved to be a red mirage. And one, not the main reason but one of the main reasons for sure, was that average American folks, even those in the middle, even those who tended to be Republican, said, ‘I’m afraid of this MAGA. They’re trying to ruin our democracy.’ If you look at the numbers, if you look at the results of the House and Senate, the MAGA Republican way didn’t work. The MAGA Republican candidate, across the board, lost. If you’re a good leader of a Republican Party, you say continuing to follow them is a path to disaster.
It’s abundantly clear that the DC swamp wants to purge Congress of any America First elements. That should not come as a shock. America First puts forward a platform centered on non-interventionism, closed borders, and reining in Big Tech. This lies in sharp contrast to the traditional GOP agenda of importing cheap labor, promoting never-ending wars, and bending over backwards to mega corporations under the pretext of limited government.
All things considered, it’s not just Democrats who are trying to get rid of Trumpism. Establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell are working diligently to revert back to the Business First agenda of the Republican Party of yesteryear.
Grassroots America Firsters must start acting quickly and build multi-generational institutions that can churn out candidates, pundits, and other members of a competing elite class that will keep nationalist ideas relevant.
The present Republican leadership must go. No questions asked. The likes of Mitch McConnell are the reason why conservatives can’t make much progress in the political arena.
The quicker McConnell and his ilk can be made irrelevant, the easier it will be for America First ideas to take root inside of the GOP.
