Lincoln Project: Republicans Are PANICKING, Pretending to Be "Independent" To Fool Voters




Mar 11, 2026

California Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley suddenly says he’s an “independent" now, but he still votes with Donald Trump 97% of the time. Rick Wilson breaks down why this political rebrand is nothing more than a desperate election-year stunt. As Trump’s brand drags down the GOP, some Republicans are trying to hide their party label while still backing the same agenda. Voters: don't be fooled.

In NC plus the last election, many GQP trump humpers had political signs with Deep Dem blue Dem colors, no red at all. Plus we had a female flip to repuke the day after elections in Charlotte that gave GQP super majorly, hampering our Dem Gov from accomplishing his promises.
Gabbert ran in Hawaii as a Democrat.
Then throw in Sinema, the WV jerk and now the sweatshirt freak. We need strong vetting for con repubs trying to fuck us with Trojan tactics.
