Lincoln Project adviser wants to 'burn the Republican Party to the ground,' encourages 'pain' for GOP voters
The anti-Trump Lincoln Project has opposed many other Republican candidates including Ron DeSantis and Glenn Youngkin

Lincoln Project adviser Stuart Stevens emphasized Saturday that the group is set on "burning" the current Republican Party to the ground rather than simply opposing Donald Trump.
Stevens appeared on MSNBC’s "Alex Wagner Tonight" to discuss the results of the midterm elections with fill-in host Ali Velshi. After many Trump-backed candidates lost their elections, Velshi questioned Stevens about whether this will force Republicans to "fix" themselves to have a "normal party."
"I guess the repudiation of some of the big, as you call it, waving the bloody shirt election deniers in this election could do two things. One, it could cause Republicans, like many of you at the Lincoln Project, former Republicans, to say hey, let’s fix this party, let’s fix it in the mold of Liz Cheney, of Adam Kinzinger, of conservatives who would like to be conservative, and have a normal party, and like democracy, or could shift it in the direction you just indicated. People who don’t wave the bloody shirt but still don’t really support the underpinnings of democracy that we need in this country," Velshi said.
Rather than argue for the "conservative" Republicans, Stevens revealed that his anti-Trump group has expanded its mission and is set on destroying the party entirely.
