Right-leaning podcaster tells GOP to ‘kiss 2028 goodbye’ due Trump admin incompetence

Libertarian podcaster and political commentator Clint Russell put Vice President JD Vance on notice Sunday that Republicans will be forced to “kiss 2028 goodbye” if the Trump administration didn’t “get to f------ work,” and soon.

Russell’s remarks come amid a MAGA backlash over the administration’s fixation on an alleged large-scale fraud scheme in Minnesota, which Trump supporters have dismissed as performative. In response to one of Vance’s several social media posts about the alleged scheme, Russell warned that without swift action from the Trump administration, the GOP risked a major electoral defeat next year.

“You are the vice president of the United States not a passive observer,” Russell wrote Sunday in a social media post on X to his nearly 280,000 followers.

“If you don't rain hell on these scumbag politicians in Minnesota you can kiss 2028 goodbye," he added. "No more commentary. No more woe is me. Get to f------ work. Fire [FBI Director] Kash [Patel] and [Attorney General Pam] Bondi immediately if they refuse. Go.”

A number of top Trump officials faced a MAGA backlash over the weekend and into Monday over the lack of prosecutions of those involved in the alleged Minnesota fraud scheme. Patel, in an apparent attempt to save face, boasted about his agency having already prosecuted individuals for fraud in Minnesota, only to be called out for taking credit for a Biden-era fraud investigation.

Similarly, Justice Department Civil Rights Assistant Attorney Harmeet Dhillon has been fending off attacks from MAGA for what critics have labeled as her own performative outrage of the alleged fraud scheme, and resorted to attacking MAGA influencers as “hoes,” and blocking several of them on social media.
