Trump continues targeting Republicans he sees as “disloyal”. Trump is removing the parts of the Republican party he sees as impeding the progress of the Republican agenda by endorsing the primary opponents of Bill Cassidy, Thomas Massie, and even Lauren Boebert!
Pete and the Kimmer break down the MAGA loyalty battle, get Vice President J.D. Vance’s take on the situation, and speculate on how Trump’s influence could shape key GOP races moving forward.
I think the problem with Thomas, and I’ve told him this in private and now I guess I’ll say it in public, is it’s one thing to disagree with the party on a particular issue. It’s one thing to have your independent stand on a number of questions. And by the way, some of the stuff where Thomas Massie has been independent against the Republican Party, I’ve agreed with him. Being independent, having your own opinions is one thing. Voting against the party on every single issue, you’re eventually gonna make too many enemies.
