RINO U.S. Senate Candidate Mike Rogers Refused to Say He Would Support Trump for President, Saying ‘Trump’s Time Has Passed’, Calling Trump ‘Destructive’, and Biden ‘Lawfully Elected’

Michigan U.S. Senate contender Mike Rogers is now touting himself as a Trump conservative, releasing a supposed endorsement of President Trump as he attempts to become the Republican nominee for the position in 2024.

“I have no doubt President Trump will be able to deliver for the American people on day one, but we must get to work now,” Rogers wrote in in a Daily Caller op/ed. “Let’s unite as Americans and do our part in keeping America strong, safe, secure, and prosperous.”

However, before it was obvious that Trump would be the presidential nominee and it became politically advantageous to endorse him, Rogers was singing a different tune.

During an interview with CBS News in April 2023, Rogers was asked if he would support Trump if he became the nominee. Rogers refused to answer and stated frankly that Trump would not be the nominee in 2024.

“I don’t believe today as I’m sitting here that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024. Don’t believe it… He may actually stay in for awhile. I just don’t think I believe he will be [the nominee]. His troubles are mounting, his fundraising is waning,” Rogers said.

Rogers has an extensive history of serving the U.S. intelligence apparatus, more commonly known as the “Deep State.” He was a former FBI agent and then became a U.S. Congressman, serving as Chairman of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee where he advocated passionately for the illegal federal spying policies that would be used to frame Trump as a Russian agent and undermine his presidency.

Before Rogers attempted to re-invent himself as a pro-Trump Republican, he was considering a presidential run in 2024 and spoke openly of his contempt for Trump. Rogers told the Washington Post that he believed “Trump’s time has passed,” declared that “Biden was lawfully elected to the presidency,” and called Trump’s tactics “clearly destructive.”

Reason Magazine highlighted some of Rogers’ lowlights after he announced his retirement from Congress in 2014:

“Rogers introduced the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), which promoted sharing of data between the government and private Internet companies for the stated aim of preventing cyberattacks. It was criticized for lacking civil liberties safeguards and died after President Barack Obama threatened to veto it. He referred to critics of CISPA as “14-year-olds in their basements clicking around on the Internet.”

He has argued that publishers could or should be charged with espionage for printing classified information if they were paid for their work.

He called for American intervention in Syria, saying, “This is the time to act. Don’t wait until we have 5,000 dead. That’s too late.”

He has co-sponsored multiple bills to outlaw Internet gambling.

He was the primary sponsor of the censorious Respect for America’s Fallen Heroes Act, the legislation targeting the Westboro Baptist Church that makes it illegal to protest within 300 feet of a military funeral on a federal cemetery an hour before or after the services.”

Michigan must not be fooled by this deep state RINO and reject his run for U.S. Senator, instead supporting a consistent America First Republican.
