#TrumpsRevenge-It’s Finally Time to Remove Each and Every RINO from the GOP

RINO

As multiple polls indicate massive majority support for President Trump among grassroots Republicans, the RINO politicians in The House and Senate are facing almost certain retribution from their state and local party leadership for their betrayal not only of President Trump, but of their constituents. Censures are coming down like rain on RINO backs, but it’s time to move past censure and talk about expulsion. It’s time to start the trending Tags #ExpelRINOs and #TrumpsRevenge.

Donald Trump Jr., whom many regard as the future vanguard of the Republican party, has called for Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-UT) expulsion already. A @Politics_Polls Twitter poll showed Trump Jr. would place third behind only his father and former VP Mike Pence in a hypothetical 2024 primary. Pence’s polling has no doubt fallen off following his Jan. 6th decision not to halt the Electoral College count on grounds of massive irregularity and serious allegations of election fraud.

Meanwhile, following the failed ouster of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) led by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Cheney is facing a probable Primary challenge and extreme blowback from her state GOP.

Could The RNC Expel RINO Members?

According to Fox News, there is no mechanism for expelling a member of the GOP (even a RINO), but it is clear that the State level GOP has the power to police their own members. And these Congressmen and Senators may quickly find themselves frozen out of the ground game in their home states, a political death sentence.

Fox News wrote,

“The Republican National Committee has nothing in its rules about expelling an individual member from the party. In fact, while it is active as a campaign arm of the GOP and provides guidance to state parties and individual members on the general direction of the party, the RNC typically only has full control over the national party convention it hosts every four years. Most of its rules have to do with filling various party offices, delegate selection for the national convention and the procedure by which its convention runs.”

RINO Censure by State & Local Republican Parties

This is a compiled list from multiple sources of the actions taken by both state and county level GOP leaders in response to the vote to impeach President Trump. Here we note: censure, calls for RINO resignation and announced primary challenges.

According to Business Insider,

“The senators who voted to find Trump guilty on a charge of inciting the January 6 insurrection on the US Capitol are Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, and Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. ”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski- “Murkowski is the only one of the seven senators up for reelection in 2022. She’ll be somewhat insulated from a primary challenge from the right, however, due to Alaska adopting nonpartisan top-four primaries and ranked-choice voting beginning in 2022.”

Sen. Mitt Romney- “In Utah, a number of Republicans are circulating a petition to censure Romney, who is up for reelection next in 2024, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. The petition asserts that Romney “appears to be an agent for the Establishment Deep State” and “misrepresented himself as a Republican” during his 2018 campaign. ”

Sen. Ben Sasse- “Several Nebraska Republican activists were already pushing to censure Sasse, one of the bluntest and most vocal GOP critics of Trump’s role in the January 6 riots, prior to his vote to convict Trump. Sasse too is not up for reelection until 2026. “You are welcome to censure me,” Sasse told the Nebraska GOP in a February 5 video statement.”

Sen. Pat Toomey- “Leaders of at least five county-level Republican parties have moved to censure Toomey already, KDKA News reported”
