The weekend upset by Dems in Texas is even "bigger" than media pundits think, according to a former GOP lawmaker.
Joe Walsh appeared on MS NOW on Sunday, where he was asked about the recent win of Taylor Rehmet, a union leader, who prevailed against a Trump-endorsed Republican. Analysts have said the upset will send shockwaves through the Republican party.
When asked by a host if the situation is as big of a deal as liberals think it is, he loudly exclaimed, "It's bigger!"
He noted that MAGA voters are "depressed" by ICE tactics and Epstein releases and Trump's apparent attacks on lawful gun owners.
"Coming from thebase, the Republican base, thewhole Second Amendment thingjust further depresses the base.The Epstein files, they'reconfused and they may not wantto vote. But, Jonathan, this isone of those rare moments inAmerican history where mostAmericans are standing up inthe public square and saying,this is not who we are. Hardlyever a moment like this comesaround," he said. "We have masked federalthugs on our streets assaultingand killing immigrants andAmericans. We've never seenthis, so I don't think smartpeople around tables like this,myself included, fullyunderstand how revolutionarythis period is. This is not whowe are. Most Americans arescreaming that."
