The GOP needs to lose BIG, they NEED a Reset.

Why don’t these people that want Authoritarianism move to Russia? Or those "Conservative Christians" whom don’t think woman have Rights can move to Iran. Leave Our Democratic Country alone.

Push MAGA right OUT.

So good to hear this from Charlie Dent! I’m still a registered Republican however I will never vote for a criminal! I won’t vote for Republicans that enabled POTUS45! I had to vote for Joe Biden in 2020 & will vote for his re-election in 2024. I like honesty, integrity & morals in my POTUS. 💙🇺🇸☮️🙏😉🫶🏻✌️🇺🇸💙

To have a Speaker of the House engaging in the justice system meddling is mind blowing.

Grow a pair, it's either Biden or Trump. You don't want Trump, show it. Tell the world it has to be Biden because of this situation. Enough is enough.

The Republican party has itself to blame for the crappy situation they put themselves in.

No! They need to stop being cowards and tell the truth! He's a danger to the very fabric of our nation. Join with the Lincoln Project if you want to save your Party.

Imagine if our choices were McCain or Obama again. We had no concept of how lucky we were back then...

[@kirkwagner461]

I used to be a Republican. Joined for my first election. I became dismayed seeing the party heading in this direction. Left them, becoming an Independant, decades ago. If these people can't stand up and declare that both Trump and MAGA need to go, then they are not going to do what is needed to restore decency to that party. Actions are needed, not evasive words.

Give this up this foolishness and join the Lincoln Project.

Never forget. These lawmakers work for you! They should be at work, working for you. remember them all and vote them out!

[@kongkinglive2.0reloaded96]

All real Republicans/ conservatives need to vote democrat to send a strong message to the party.

[@dawnjones3148]

I have never in my life seen an ex president interfere and stand in the way of the current President!

[@alesitercrimson24]

Having a speaker of the house getting involved in a criminal investigation is just mind blowing. What the hell is going on?

[@pistolstarpaulkimble2653]

All this started with Newt Gingrich. Republicans still seem so surprised that the monster they made, came to eat them.

[@wilfriedholscher7029]

I'll vote for Reason anyday over Treason.

[@Im_Maximilian]

The only way to put a stake in the heart of MAGA is to vote every Republician out of office in November. Then you can decide if the future of the GOP is a new conservative party or the resurection of Lincolns party.

If they believe in the 5 principles they should definitely be telling people to not vote for Twump

Good for you, Mr. Dent!! I've been posting to people like Cheney and Kinzinger to do this!! I'm glad someone has finally stepped up!!!!
