Civil War Set to Devour GOP: 'MAGA Is Sick of RINOs'
Trump fundamentalists are weighing up bids to oust Senate Republicans who have dared to cross the president, Axios reports.
The planned move, in states like Texas and North Carolina, could spark a MAGA civil war—but the president’s most fervent acolytes see it as a necessary risk, despite the chance of far-right challengers flopping at a general election.
“MAGA is sick of RINOs (Republican in Name Only), especially in states Trump won. And in a state like Texas, it’s inexcusable,” far-right political activist and commentator Jack Posobiec told Axios.
Posobiec’s anger is shared by much of the MAGA base. The movement called for Texas Sen. John Cornyn’s head when the 72-year-old broke with Trump’s platform to support aid for Ukraine and a bipartisan gun reform bill in the wake of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
His challenger, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, 62, disparaged Cornyn as a “Republican in name only,” and accused the congressman of “betraying” Trump.
Cornyn has responded to a Paxton charm offensive on Trump with overtures of his own. This included him posting a picture on X of him reading the president’s 1987 book, The Art of the Deal.
