Kirk To Hold Rallies In Red States In Order To Menace Republican Senators Into Backing Trump’s Nominees

Politico reports:

As uncertainty mounts about whether the new Republican-controlled Senate will sign off on some of President-Elect Donald Trump’s more controversial Cabinet picks, a top conservative grassroots group is dialing up the pressure.

Turning Point Action, the group spearheaded by prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk, plans to hold rallies in states where they believe GOP senators may need extra “encouragement” to approve nominees like Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kirk said the initiative will start as an “encouragement campaign,” and will “activate into a pressure campaign for red-state senators.” Kirk added that if senators “publicly come out and say that you’re going to support President Trump’s Cabinet, then there’s no reason for us to come to your home state.”

So if a Republican Senator thinks Matt Gaetz is unqualified and unfit to be AG based on his words and deeds, the richest man in the world will spend a fortune trying to get them voted out of office. MAGA rules through threats, fear, and intimidation. https://t.co/GIDGc3YplU
