GOP is far removed from party of Lincoln
From WDGJ to Fox, right wing media uses the derogatory term RINO to describe any Republican who isn’t loyal to Trump in an attempt to purge them from this new “party of Lincoln,” which is no longer bound by their oath to “…support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s claim that his is “the party of Lincoln” is intended to reinforce public belief in its legitimacy as a major political party.
But when the first Republican president waged a civil war to preserve the Union, while the last Republican president incited an insurrection to destroy that Union, it’s time to ask at long last whether McCarthy has any sense of decency.
Today’s Republican Party, though purportedly a political party, is no longer “the party of Lincoln.” It is, in fact, an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States. The real RINOs are the traitors who violated their oath of office, pledged allegiance to an unstable authoritarian, embraced the Big Lie and belong to a political party with a fascist ideology that threatens our national security.
