[FONT=cnn_sans_display]J. Michael Luttig, a conservative retired federal judge and key adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, declared on Wednesday that “there is no Republican Party” and said former President Donald Trump is even more dangerous than he was in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

[FONT=cnn_sans_display]“American democracy simply cannot function without two equally healthy and equally strong political parties. So today, in my view, there is no Republican Party to counter the Democratic Party in the country,” Luttig, who advised Pence on how to handle the January 6, 2021, election certification vote, told CNN’s Poppy Harlow on “CNN This Morning.” “And for that reason, American democracy is in grave peril.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]Luttig, who holds bona fide conservative credentials with longstanding ties to the Supreme Court, has become increasingly outspoken in sharing his criticisms of the GOP, calling the party “spineless” in June over its continued support of Trump.[/FONT]

[FONT=cnn_sans_display]“A political party is a collection and assemblage of individuals who share a set of beliefs and principles and policy views about the United States of America. Today, there is no such shared set of beliefs and values and principles or even policy views as within the Republican Party for America,” he said on Wednesday.
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]Luttig also sought to shoot down possible legal defenses that Trump could mount to address the federal charges to which he has pleaded not guilty. The former judge said that by charging Trump with criminal offenses of conduct, not speech, special counsel Jack Smith ensures that there could not be a First Amendment defense from Trump’s legal team.

No one should deny that OP.

It is now the Cult of Trump. They are the RINO's.

It does not pretend to have any connection to Republican ideals that developed over time.

it was always known by those in power in the republican party that using the Southern Strategy, of igniting the base by feeding them Hate, Racism and Xenophobia and lies, would destroy the party and make them unelectable. Both have come true.

What's this Trump's bidding you are speaking of?

I don't see McCarthy doing any of Trumps bidding, do you?

Seems to me he is doing his job the same way all speakers have done it in the past.

You guys really need to drop these conspiracy theories about Trump.

It's childish.

Only everything he says and everything he does. Mccarthy is doing no real work. He is just following what he is directed to do by Trumpys. The reds are not doing legislation. He gave up his power to the crazies on the right to get spaeakership. MTG has as much power as Kevin and she is insane.
