From Paul Ryan to Chris Christie, intolerance of the former president is growing: “He made us lose the 2020 election and now the midterms.” However, Trump is not postponing the announcement of his candidacy
Republican Senator Pat Toomey: “Trump is largely responsible for the defeat in Pennsylvania.” Former House Speaker Paul Ryan: “Trump’s inadmissibility will be made clear before 2024: he only swims by instilling fear.” treated his deputy in the White House, while Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers, which have unleashed themselves against The Donald, are already cheering for DeSantis. It’s now or never: In the days separating the disappointing (for Republicans) outcome of the midterm elections from the announcement of Trump’s re-nomination, the conservatives, who have long wanted to declare his political season over and have not wanted to do so, are on the offensive had the courage to look up.
Most cruel: Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a longtime ally of his: “We lost the Midterms of 2018. We lost the 2020 election. We lost the statutes in Georgia in 2021 and this year 2022 we’re suffering a loss of governors, we’re not getting the House seats we thought we were going to win, and maybe we won’t even win the Senate, even though that Democrats have a president who has only a 40 percent approval rating. There is only one person to blame for all of this: Donald Trump.”
Which doesn’t fit. Trump is not postponing the announcement of his 2024 candidacy, which is scheduled for early next week, his advisers have indicated, and he takes a head-on attack on the Murdoch and DeSantis media: he accuses the governor of treason, lack of gratitude for it, and, like the president, he supported him his first election in 2018. And with that, he opens a window onto a dark story: He claims that in 2018 he not only gave his endorsement for the future governor in the fight with the Democrat Andrew Gillum from the White House, but also presented the ” DeSantis’ “completely shattered” campaign and, most importantly, dispatched the FBI and a federal prosecutor to Broward County, where he claims “a corrupt polling agency facilitated the vote theft. I stopped that theft.’
In short, he reveals four years after a crime that would have been committed in 2018, he claims to have sent federal police officers and prosecutors to Florida polling stations (given the Justice Department’s autonomy from the rest of the government). , President included) and given that Trump did so two years ago when he asked the Georgia Secretary of State to get him the 11,780 votes needed to overtake Biden, one wonders how true his reconstruction is is. But Trump is known to be allergic to compliance with rules and institutions. And from a wounded and besieged animal, things get even more gruesome: De Santis has just responded with a neutral, “Right now I’m governor and not thinking about the future,” to an interviewer who asked him if he was in the case, from Trumps he would give up running for the White House. The former president lashes out at him: “Well, in terms of loyalty and class, that’s certainly not the right answer.”
Trump also has something for the media from Murdoch: “NewsCorp, which means Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, are popular with Governor DeSanctimonious because they reopened after the pandemic before other states: not him, but him thanks to Florida’s sun. I’m not worried: even in 2015 and 2016, before the presidential election, Fox News kept attacking me. But after my victory, they all became my staunch supporters ».
Trump receives the latest slap in the face from conservative Jews: The Republican Jewish Coalition has invited all of the party’s top leaders, from DeSantis to Pence, from Mike Pompeo to Chris Chrisie and Nikki Haley, to its annual meeting, to be held in Las Vegas next week, but not the former president.
