Conservative news outlet RedState has been in a state of transition for nearly a year now following reports of an early 2018 purge of anti-Trump voices on the site. Two of the only anti-Trump survivors of the purge, senior contributor Kimberly Ross and contributing editor Andrea Ruth, resigned today.
The pair have been at the site for years and do a podcast together. Their joint statement, published on the newly formed site The Bulwark, details their last three and a half years and changes that have been happening at RedState.
Why We Are Quitting RedState
We are conservatives. We believe in limited government, the free market, the Constitution, and protecting the rights of the unborn. We have therefore supported the Republican Party and believed in the Republican Party for years. But a healthy Republican Party cannot exist without a healthy conservative media; likewise, a toxic, poisonous conservative media is like a parasite for the conservative movement— and, make no mistake, it will eventually kill it.
We publish this with the hope that it serves to push the Republican Party and conservative media back to the ones we respected, admired, and believed in.

FTA:
I have nothing against RedState, but I appreciate what Ross and Ruth are doing. If conservative voices that call out Republicans or the President are quashed, there can be no conscience to keep the party focused. Their voices are necessary. ...JD Rucker
