Summary
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) warned Republicans against opposing Donald Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as attorney general, stating that MAGA supporters would target their jobs if they break ranks.
Tuberville defended Trump’s right to choose his team, urging senators to “vote with President Trump.”
Gaetz, who recently resigned from Congress, is a divisive figure within the GOP, having faced FBI and House Ethics investigations over alleged misconduct.
Some Republicans are openly concerned about the nomination and are deliberating their next steps.
That’s bullshit. They are beholden to Russia. They don’t give one fuck about any of their voters.
We are witnessing a Russian attack on our democracy. They are using Americans against us. These people are the enemies within.
Is it so hard to believe Republicans are just shitty people? Why do you need the idea of a puppet master controlling them?
Yeah both are true. Putin is very clearly giving the orders, here.
Clearly in what sense?
Telling Trump to pick Tulsi Gabbard, another Russian intelligence operative to be the Director of National Intelligence.
We are so fucked.
It can be two things
Is that not in tandem with Trump voters’ shift to Russia? “I’d rather be Russian than a Democrat” and Trump voters talking about plans to immigrate to Russia if Trump lost are things I seem to remember in recent years.
My original point was not to claim that Republican politicians necessarily care about what their base wants, but they do seem to understand that they have to at least campaign heavily on populist issues to get elected. And that disloyalty to Trump is met with rabid outrage from their base.
