When President Donald Trump called out a Dem who supports “sanctuary cities,” the leading Republicans came riding to his rescue – the Dem’s rescue, that is. Republicans standing up for sanctuary cities is just the latest, craziest front in the RINO Establishment’s war against Donald Trump.
It all started with this tweet by Trump: Ralph Northam, who is running for Governor of VA, is fighting for the violent MS-13 killer gangs & sanctuary cities. Vote Ed Gillespie!
Northam – who is Clinton crony Terry McAuliffe’s lieutenant governor – cast the tie-breaking vote against a Republican bill that would ban any town in VA from declaring itself a “sanctuary city.” The Central American gang MS-13 took advantage of Obama’s amnesty programs by posing as “unaccompanied minors” and unleashed a brutal crime wave against the state – including recording the sickening murder of a 15-year-old Virginia girl. The Washington Post has documented many of their crimes in the state.

For years, Establishment Republicans have made a fortune as consultants, “experts,” spin doctors, and campaign gurus claiming to have the formula for victory: Compromise. Find “common ground.” Let the middle class take care of itself. The Constitution is dead. Long live the UN. The American heartland is the past. Immigrants are the future. White racism and transgender bathrooms are the biggest problems facing the world today. If you want to, wage a few more wars. Just keep greasing corporate palms with government contracts and sweetheart deals, and we’ll make sure you keep getting re-elected.
The Establishment has ridden this to a high-flying lifestyle. Now that they see it all slipping away, they’re fighting for their way of life. That’s why the RINOs have been on attacking lately, setting Washington on fire instead of letting the president do the job he was elected to do. Ana Navarro, CNN’s “Republican” spokesperson, donated money and held a huge fundraiser for Dem Sen. Bob Menendez, who’s facing trial for steering $105 million in phony government contracts to a buddy.
Sen. Bob Corker, an Establishment Republican from Tennessee, said that Trump – not Kim Jong-Un – is putting America “on the path to World War III.” “The White House has become an adult day care center,” he wrote.
No Dem ever dared be this disrespectful to Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. But instead of telling Corker to put a cork in it, other RINOs had his back.
Rep. Charlie Dent of PA said that “more of my colleagues should speak out” against Trump. Dent’s RINO record is long and extensive. He opposed Trump’s refugee ban, voted against repealing Obamacare, and voted to force states to fund Planned Parenthood. Now he promises to be bold in denouncing Trump – the first Republican presidential candidate to carry Dent’s state of PA since 1988. Dent, meanwhile, is retiring instead of facing a more conservative Republican in a primary.
Trump is not the only person caught up in their war. Recently, VP Mike Pence has gotten caught in the crossfire. When Pence walked out of a Colts football game because players took a knee during the national anthem, strategist Steve Schmidt went ballistic. He called Pence’s patriotic move “utterly appalling, wasteful, profligate, disgusting behavior.”
Schmidt is a former lobbyist who was part of Karl Rove’s inside circle. The RINO has run five losing races for every win, including John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign. Schmidt said that Pence only left the game because he wanted to “use the flag and the national anthem as a prop.” You mean, like the NFL players have been doing for weeks?
When Beltway Republicans aren’t bashing Trump or his administration, they’re dissing his voters. TheWashington Post’s favorite “conservative,” Jennifer Rubin, has a long record of attacking President Trump, the GOP base, and Bill O’Reilly. This time the conservative target in her sights was the NRA and the second amendment.
Rubin went on MSNBC right after the Las Vegas shooting and called the right to keep and bear arms, “offensive and unnecessary.” The NRA’s defense of the Second Amendment is nothing more than “all kind of made-up mumbo jumbo. … They create all of these ridiculous verbal defenses.”
The Founding Fathers had some pretty ironclad written defenses of gun ownership, like “the right to keep and bear arms” and “shall not be infringed.” When voters turned to Donald Trump, they let Washington know that Americans in the heartland will defend the American flag, the Bill of Rights, and their way of life. In their fight against swamp creatures like Congresswoman Cheri Bustos, I’d put my money on the American people every time.
