The long-needed purge of the ‘old’ Republican Party has duly begun. As reported on One America News Network Monday, January 25, 2021, lawmakers are beginning to feel the fallout from and becoming the brunt of angry bread-and-butter Republican voters across this great nation. Specifically, the Republican parties of Arizona, Allegan County in Michigan, and Carbon County in Wyoming have voted to censure several elected officials.
“The Republican Party here is not just here to elect Republicans, it’s here to hold Republicans accountable to the party platform,” stated Tyler Bower, national committeeman for the Arizona GOP. “Party discipline means adherence to the party platform, party discipline means pulling someone aside behind closed doors and saying ‘you’re not living by the party platform.’ How do we fix this?”
The censure votes, which formally express discontent for party members, come amid backlash over Arizona and Michigan turning blue in the general election. Additionally, party members are being called out for supporting Democrat efforts to impeach President Trump for a second time.
On Saturday, the Arizona GOP publicly rebuked Gov. Doug Ducey (R), former Sen. Jeff Flake (R) and the late Sen. John McCain’s wife Cindy McCain.
The censures accused Ducey of executive overreach for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and failure to overturn the election results in favor of President Trump. Meanwhile, Flake and McCain are coming under immense fire for their support for Joe Biden and divergence from President Trump.
“And if all of us cannot have the resolve here to look into our legislative district committees, our county committees and have the most disciplined two years of our lifetimes, we may lose Arizona forever,” Bower continued.
Earlier this week, the Allegan County Republican Party approved a resolution to censure longtime Republican congressman Fred Upton. The committee decried Upton for allegedly ignoring the voices of constituents and party members when voting for impeachment.
“The final straw for me was obviously what happened last week: the President’s remarks that his actions, in his words, were totally appropriate as he called these folks patriots as they were tearing down the capitol,” stated the Michigan representative
The Carbon County Republican Party in Wyoming voted unanimously to censure Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) for voting to impeach President Trump along with nine other GOP House lawmakers, Fox News reported.
“Representative Cheney has violated the trust of her voters, failed to faithfully represent a very large majority of motivated Wyoming voters, and neglected her duty to represent the party and the will of the people who elected her to represent them,” the party’s resolution stated, as reported on Red State.
If this is already beginning, imagine the censures we will see coming and the favorable primary results we will be able to enjoy with the dedicated support and financial backing of President Trump. Certainly popcorn and cokes or beer are in order.
Def-Con readers, not all is bad news and false promises. Perhaps as evidenced by these censures the Republican party is moving forward for the benefit of us conservatives.
