Time to Purge the GOP Backstabbers, Sissies, and Narcissists
Kurt Schlichter
The Republican Party should be a big tent, but that big tent shouldn’t include Democrats or Democrat collaborators. Members of our party, from weakness, malice, or delusions of moral superiority, have been betraying us left and right lately, with political mediocrities empowered by the fact that the margins are so close and the issues are so important that even the most ridiculous of these alleged Republicans can seize a moment of outsized power simply by sucking up to the regime media. Much of the focus lately has been on marginal twerps who aren’t even Republicans – that malignant rodent Nick Fuentes makes no bones about hating the GOP, as does the unstable and malicious Candace Owens. They deserve our contempt, but it’s not like they have an (R) after their names. It’s the ones who do who are the real threat. Fortunately, we have leverage over them, and we need to use it ruthlessly to restore the discipline the GOP needs to beat the existential threat that is the left.
I could be talking about the ridiculous Thomas Massie, a pompous buffoon who embraces the silly ideology that is libertarianism. He only matters temporarily, and not that much, since we always know he won’t be with us when we need him. He’s taking his shot because the GOP majority in the House is so small; otherwise, he would go back to being what he always was before, a fringe crank no one cared about. But he’s using this opportunity to grab the spotlight for a brief, shining moment. We’ve got important things to do in 2026 in fighting the Democrats, but we need to spare a moment to fight him. The President is right to support a primary challenge. We can’t tolerate his shenanigans; when he finally goes away, it will be, appropriately enough, as a result of distracting us from important fights, but distracted we must be.
I could be talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is green with envy at the candidates – like Rep. Mike Collins – who actually have a chance of winning back that Georgia Senate seat we need so much. She’s so mad at Donald Trump for refusing to back her certain-to-fail campaign for the seat that she’s defected to the left, to the point of being received by the harpies on “The View” as a prodigal daughter. Trump has hilariously disowned her, complaining about her daily crazy phone calls, among other things, and this is good. She’s created a distraction because her feelings got hurt, but we have to be distracted to police our own. We can’t be a party where “it’s all about me,” and with MTG, it’s all about her. Regardless, she’s got to go; I’m sure she’s going to end up blaming it on the Jews.
