The five RINO Senators who think they were voted America’s leader and refused to support Matt Gaetz for AG.
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
Markwayne Mullin (R-OH)
Sen.-elect John Curtis (R-UT)
Curtis is replacing dirty Trump-hater Mitt Romney. Nice job, Utah. Nice work.
According to ABC News, Team Trump is threatening the RINO Senators with Elon Musk-funded primary opponents if they deraile President Trump’s nominees.
Selina Wang reported on this development on Thursday.
Selina Wang: Well, Trump has been working the phones. He’s been upping the pressure on Senate Republicans, even calling some of them directly. This is as JD Vance is also making the pitch. He was up on Capitol Hill with Matt Gaetz yesterday meeting with some of those Senate Republicans. And we’re told by a Trump official that those meetings were productive.
But we’re also told that behind the scenes, the Trump team has been playing hardball, and they’ve been giving an ominous warning to any Senate Republicans who might oppose his nominees. One Trump advisor telling her, John Karl, that the message is, “If you are on the wrong side of the vote, you’re buying yourself a primary. That is all. And there’s a guy named Elon Musk who is going to finance it.” The Trump advisor added, The President gets to decide his cabinet, no one else.
This comes as yesterday, those Republicans on the House Ethics Committee voted against releasing that report into the investigation on Matt Gaetz around allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. Gaetz has denied all wrongdoing.
Some Senate Republicans are saying, though, that the contents of the report, even if it’s not formally released, will get out during the Senate confirmation hearings.

Trump voters are sick and tired of these RINOs who have 5% support from the Republican voter base and think they rule the party.
