Ex-Bush Aide Gives Chilling Reality Check About Continued GOP Capitulation To Trump
Peter Wehner warns of more U.S. Capitol riot-style political violence should the GOP continue regurgitating ex-President Donald Trumps 2020 election lies.
Wehner wrote in The Atlantic this week that political violence will become more acceptable and more prevalent on the American right if the Republican Party doesnt counteract these lies rather than indulge them.
The GOP remains fully in Trumps thrall, with its leadership more committed than ever to spreading his foundational lies and conspiracy theories, said Wehner, who served in the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush and was a fervent critic of Trump throughout his one term in office.
Some elected Republicans who initially reacted with horror to the deadly U.S. Capitol riot that was incited by Trump were now making their peace with it, he wrote. And thats where things really get dangerous.
