Trump has splintered GOP leadership -- and it could be devastating in the midterm elections: report

Donald Trump has left DC for retirement at Mar-a-Lago, but his outsized role in the Republican Party could have major implications in the 2022 midterm elections.

"The two men now leading the Republican Party usually align during political crises. But the Trumpian chaos splintering the G.O.P. is not only testing Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader, and Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader — it's also highlighting their differences in how to handle the former president and hampering a united strategy for retaking Congress next year," Jonathan Martin of The New York Times reported Saturday.

On Saturday, CNN's Andrew Kaczynski revealed that among the numerous tweets deleted by pro-QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is a thread in which she liked a post suggesting that the Israeli intelligence services assassinated President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

It was October 27, exactly one week before the November 2020 election, and Georgia Republican congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene was in a Pennsylvania gun shop giving an interview to a pro-gun activist. The video was recorded and posted to Facebook live, as Mother Jones reported.

“If this generation doesn't stand up and defend freedom, it's gone," Greene told pro-gun activist Chris Dorr. “And once it's gone, freedom doesn't come back by itself. The only way you get your freedoms back is it's earned with the price of blood."

'A world of denial': Conservative writer blasts GOP voters for being 'delusional'

Conservative Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin has made no secret of the fact that on January 20, she was delighted to see President Joe Biden sworn into office and former President Donald Trump exit the White House. Rubin was hoping — not expecting, but hoping — that the GOP would abandon Trumpism after Trump was voted out of office. Instead, Rubin laments in a column published this week, Republicans are doubling down on it. And she argues that a party that has been overtaken by dangerous extremists and insurrectionists must be kept away "from the levers of power."

Trump is facing a second impeachment trial following the violent insurrection on January 6, when a violent mob of pro-Trump insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol Building in the hope of preventing Congress from certifying Biden's Electoral College victory in the 2020 presidential election. Yet many Republicans, Rubin notes, are still unwavering Trump supporters.
