A claim conservative opponents of President Trump frequently make is that he has too much baggage also his rhetoric and his tone are the cause of his being divisive and despised by Democrats.
They add that it is
time to turn the page and look for a candidate who stands for Trump's policies,
but is disciplined.
This noise hit its
crescendo after the GOP underperformed following the midterms.
The mainstream media held Donald Trump solely responsible for the lack of a red wave, obviously. But conservative news outlets joined in.
The editorial board of the ‘conservative’ National Review rejected Trump as a Presidential candidate in 2024 in an
article entitled "No". The Murdoch media has also traveled into the
Never Trumper realm.
Surprisingly the GOP officials such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy received no blame for the midterm disappointment.
In parallel David
Frum, Chuck
Todd, the WaPo,
CNN, Maggie
Haberman, Bill
Maher, the Never
Trumpers, Karl
Rove, Piers Morgan, and the Murdoch Media are making the case that Ron
DeSantis should be the nominee in 2024.
The DeSantis wing
claimed that their man has a clean record and is more disciplined and hence is
less vulnerable to attacks and probes from the Democrats than Trump was.
So how are
‘disciplined’ Republicans treated in D.C.?
Let’s take Mitch
McConnell who is a prime example of an establishment Republican and a D.C.
loyalist.
McConnell doesn’t
engage in ‘mean’ social media posts.
McConnell approves of
most of the Democrat plans.
He approved
sending billions
of taxpayer money for the war in Ukraine without any transparency
and accountability measures.
McConnell allegedly
informed Biden that he wanted to blunt
President Trump’s influence by conveying to allies in Eastern Europe
that “Republicans believe NATO is important”.
McConnell voted
for a "gun safety" bill that empowers a judge to order
the seizure of firearms merely based on someone's suspicion.
McConnell is silent
about the Stalinist January
6 Select Committee that intends to criminalize political
opposition.
McConnell was mum
about the mask and vaccine mandates and the lockdowns advocated by the
Democrats after the COVID-19 pandemic.
McConnell is always eager to attack Trump. He slammed
Trump for attempting to ‘overturn the
2020 election’. He agreed with the Democrats that the Jan. 6 protests were a
“violent insurrection” and blamed
Trump for it.
Trump is not fond of McConnell either.
So how is this establishment loyalist treated in D.C.?
Yesterday, an event
was held in D.C. to honor hundreds of officers who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Why is the D.C.
Democrat establishment suddenly honoring law enforcement officials?
NBC News revealed the
motive behind the event in the following excerpt of their report:
“Top House and Senate
leaders will present law enforcement officers who defended the U.S. Capitol
on Jan. 6, 2021, with Congressional Gold Medals on
Tuesday, awarding them Congress’s highest honor nearly two years after they
fought with former President Donald Trump’s supporters in a brutal and bloody
attack.”
The real goal behind
the event was to keep the 'insurrection' narrative alive.
If the Democrats
cared about the police, they would have done more to combat the crime wave that
causes law enforcement officials to be placed in harm's way due. They would
have also honored law enforcement officers who were injured or killed during
the BLM riots in 2020-2.
At the event, Capitol
Police Officer Brian Sicknick was honored posthumously.
Sicknick’s death was
initially misreported to be the result of bludgeoning by Trump supporters.
On stage presenting
the honors were House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck
Schumer, McConnell, and Kevin McCarthy.
The Sicknick family was very cordial with Democrat leaders Pelosi
and Schumer. Sicknick's mother even planted a brief peck on Schumer's cheek.
However, the same Sicknick family refused to shake hands with
McConnell and McCarthy and just walked by despite McConnell having
his hand outstretched throughout.
This was a purposeful snub which the Sicknick family confirmed
later.
Sicknick died of
natural causes, yet his death was being exploited by the Democrats to score
political points against the GOP. Sicknick’s family participated in this
propaganda by needlessly insulting McConnell and McCarthy who had no role in
Sicknick’s death.
It isn’t beyond the realm of possibility that the Sicknick family received Democrat approval for snubbing McConnell and McCarthy.
The snubbing certainly made headlines.
The goal is to build on the insurrection narrative.
The Democrats and their propagandists know that most news consumers are unaware that Sicknick died of natural causes. They know that consumers will watch a brief video and assume that the Republicans must be guilty, since family members of a January 6th martyr are refusing to shake hands with McConnell and McCarthy.

It wasn’t just the Sicknick family, all through their presence on stage, Pelosi and Schumer shared cordial interactions with the top police officials on stage, while McConnell and McCarthy were largely ignored.
The treatment that
McConnell and McCarthy received was a perfect metaphor for how the GOP is
regarded in D.C.
Currently, McConnell, the Never Trumpers, Liz Cheney, and others are useful idiots for willingly functioning as proxies in the Democrat war against Trump.
But once their
purpose is achieved they will be tossed back into the D.C. dustbin.
Republicans receive
two kinds of treatments in D.C.
The establishment
Republicans may occasionally be invited to the party, but at the
party, they will be ignored and given a table in a dark corner of the
room. As long as they meekly swallow their pride, the establishment allows
them their pecuniary gains.
The harshest
treatment is reserved for the challenger Republicans, such as Trump. This is
the rare variety of Republicans who openly defy and act against the
establishment. The establishment reacts by deploying the media and various
politicized agencies to destroy the challenger.
The snubbing of
McConnell and McCarthy is a reminder the Democrats will never ever treat
Republicans as equals.
Any Republican, be it Trump who is a blatant challenger, or McConnell who disagrees only on rare occasions, is a target.
If the individual is
well-behaved and has a clean record he will still be targeted. The media will merely
fabricate claims and the agencies will conduct probes based on trumped-up
claims.
In fact, the attacks are a barometer of the worthiness of a Republican.
If a Republican is
treated like a member of the club in D.C. it is proof that he has been
compromised.
