It\u2019s no surprise that the party led by the same guy who said there would be a \u201cbloodbath\u201d if he loses the election again is embroiled in chaos, extremism, disarray, and internal chaos. Totally out of touch with the American people, Trump and MAGA Republicans across the country continue to show voters that they\u2019re utterly unfit to lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at the latest:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like the Trump operation itself, Republican state parties in critical states are sputtering and struggling for cash.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

NOTUS<\/a>: Republicans Can\u2019t Afford to Help Trump Out With His Huge Bond<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t expect the Republican Party to step in just yet to help former President Donald Trump out with his financial woes: They\u2019ve got too many problems of their own.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut the party can only afford to spare so much. Michigan\u2019s GOP, which is dealing with tough fundraising, a high burn rate and internal leadership squabbles, is emblematic of a difficult, cash-strapped GOP landscape.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Arizona, Minnesota, Colorado, North Carolina, Massachusetts and Florida state parties have all reportedly been struggling financially. Georgia\u2019s state party is so busy paying off its own legal bills that it\u2019s left Gov. Brian Kemp to pick up the slack. The state Republican parties did not return NOTUS\u2019 request for comment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s just the state parties. Last year was the RNC\u2019s worst fundraising year since a decade prior<\/strong>, bringing in about $87 million in 2023. They started 2024 with just over $8 million cash on hand. Trump\u2019s campaign has seen both small-donor fatigue, a critical base for him financially, and major donor hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, Democrats have been raking in cash.<\/strong> The Democratic National Committee started the year with $21 million cash on hand and brought in just under $120 million in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

MAGA Republicans know their agenda is too extreme to have anything to show for it \u2013 so they\u2019re jumping through hoops to take credit for the accomplishments that President Biden and Democrats are delivering for the American people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Insider<\/a>: Lauren Boebert brags about securing $20 million in funding that she voted against: ‘Can’t wait for the ribbon cuttings’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEarlier this month, Rep. Lauren Boebert voted against a must-pass government funding bill that contained more than $20 million for the Colorado district she’s now abandoning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn Monday night, she celebrated the impending arrival of that funding anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Can’t wait for the ribbon cuttings and to see these priorities come to fruition,\u2019 the congresswoman said in a release, listing 10 different projects across the state’s 3rd congressional district that are set to benefit from an influx of federal dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBoebert was among 40 House Republicans who voted on March 6 against the so-called “minibus” \u2014 which funds vast swaths of the federal government \u2014 despite having secured federal funding for their districts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Republic<\/a>: MTG Dragged for Bragging About Bill She Actually Voted Against<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRepresentative Marjorie Taylor Greene is celebrating the fact that her district received federal funds for infrastructure improvements\u2014and conveniently ignoring the fact that she voted against the budget bill that made it all possible.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

MAGA Republicans continue to push archaic, sexist, and racist platforms as Trump leads the charge to drag our country backward.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: Mark Robinson’s Bizarre Ramble: ‘I Absolutely Want To Go Back To The America Where Women Couldn\u2019t Vote’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn Tuesday, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson won the GOP primary to become his party\u2019s nominee for North Carolina governor, presumably with the help of female voters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut just four years ago, Robinson invoked a bizarre hypothetical in which he said he\u2019d \u2018absolutely\u2019 like to return to the days when the 19th Amendment didn\u2019t exist \u2015 when women didn\u2019t have the right to vote.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn\u2019t vote,\u2019 Robinson said in a newly resurfaced video of his remarks at a March 2020 event hosted by the Republican Women of Pitt County.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring this event, Robinson, who was running for lieutenant governor at the time, recalled someone recently asking conservative activist Candace Owens to pick which version of America would make America \u2018great again,\u2019 one where \u2018Black people were swinging from cheap trees\u2019 or one where women weren\u2019t allowed to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRobinson said he would definitely return to the days in America when women were denied the right to vote \u2018because in those days we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republicans.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Washington Post<\/a>: N.C. GOP nominee compared Planned Parenthood, men with saggy pants to KKK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlanned Parenthood. Men with saggy pants. People who tore down Confederate flags and monuments. The Rev. Al Sharpton.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMark Robinson<\/strong>, the GOP nominee in one of this year\u2019s most competitive governor\u2019s races, has declared them all comparable to or worse than the Ku Klux Klan<\/strong> in social media posts that have drawn little attention. The posts are part of a long record of comments ranging from provocative to bigoted that are getting more scrutiny as the campaign heats up in North Carolina \u2014 and that some Republicans worry will be a liability in a battleground state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRobinson\u2019s references to the KKK, a white-supremacist group that has terrorized Black Americans, underscore the risks Republicans have taken in nominating him<\/strong> \u2014 a longtime factory worker who posted a wide range of insults on Facebook before he became a viral hit on the right with a speech about gun laws in 2018. He was elected lieutenant governor of North Carolina in 2020 and won the gubernatorial primary by landslide this month with former president Donald Trump\u2019s endorsement. At a rally, Trump praised Robinson as \u2018Martin Luther King on steroids.<\/strong>\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
