In a rare moment of frankness, fringe commentator Tomi Lahren admitted that mainstream Republicans don't support Donald Trump.
Appearing on the Fox network Sunday, Lahren twisted herself in knots trying to explain why President Joe Biden's speech on Thursday was actually a good thing for MAGA world.
"I think it's a great point to be made — the strategy around all of this," Lahren began. "It's the Democrat strategy and the Republican strategy. Now, at first, when I saw what happened with the FBI raid, when I saw what happened with this horrible speech, I thought, you know, this was just attacking Republicans. And then, it dawned on me, as we've been having our side conversations, I think this is almost a strategy by the Democrats to rile up Trump supporters to get him to announce he's going to run in 2024. And then that is going to make those hesitant never-Trumpers out there, the mainstream Republicans, maybe vote a little differently. Maybe it'll prop up Donald Trump, but maybe that's not what's good for the Republican Party."
She went on to say that prior to the revelations that the National Archives was trying to get back the stolen documents and the FBI was forced to execute a search warrant, the GOP was leaning toward Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as their GOP nominee.
"And now people are putting on the MAGA hats again," said Lahren. "So, I wonder if this is almost a strategy. They'd rather run against Trump than a DeSantis. I hope we don't fall for it."
Lahren was a strident Trump supporter for many years, and has much of MAGA world to thank for promoting her from a social media video stream to the Fox network.
