Disgraced former President Donald Trump lashed out as more than 150 senior Republicans threatened to form a new party if the GOP doesn’t disown him.
The new group, led by Trump’s former Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor and former presidential candidate Evan McMullin, is calling for a major reform of the party after congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming was stripped of her House Republican leadership position over her criticism of Trump’s fraudulent claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
George Conway, the husband of former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, is also part of the group. Other Republicans who have signed on include former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld and former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford.
It also includes 27 former members of the US House of Representatives, including Barbara Comstock, Charlie Dent and Paul Mitchell, as well as former senator David Durenberger. Other members include former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, former Department of Homeland Security official Elizabeth Neumann, and former DHS general counsel John Mitnick.
Trump took to his recently launched personal blog to attack Taylor and the new group, writing: “He is a phony who will probably be sued over his fake book and fake ‘Anonymous’ editorial, which caused so much treasonous stir.”
“Miles Taylor and his fellow RINO losers like Tom Ridge, Christine Todd Whitman, and Crazy Barbara Comstock voted for Biden, and now look what they have — a socialist regime with collapsing borders, massive tax and regulation hikes, unrest in the Middle East, and long gas lines.
“He is even giving us men setting new records playing women’s sports. What a disaster for our Country (sic) it has been!”
Trump’s blog was launched after being banned from most social media platforms for inciting the deadly 6 January attack on the US Capitol.
