When Texas Politics first reported that the anti-Trump, anti-Trump ally and Progressive-minded The Lincoln Project announced that they would be spending $1 million in Texas to defeat President Donald Trump and congressional candidates who support him, it was only a matter of time before Texas GOP Chairman Allen West would unleash one of his trademark smackdowns of Socialist-minded individuals or groups.
West refers to the group of so-called “Republican strategists” a group of “political traitors” and “useful idiots” who support a “progressive socialist agenda that embraces the rule of the mob” and “defunds police.”
Here is West's statement:
“It is highly disturbing and quite disgusting that a group of so-called Republican strategists using the name Lincoln Project is planning to spend $1M in Texas against President Trump,” stated West.
It is equally despicable that these political traitors would call their endeavor Operation Sam Houston. It is unconscionable to me, as Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, that there are these useful idiots who would seek to undermine the hard work and efforts being put in by the RPT, Republican candidates, and grassroots supporters to re-elect President Trump.
Why would these individuals desire to support a progressive socialist agenda that embraces the rule of the mob, defunds our law enforcement, would decimate our oil and gas industry, advocates for open borders and taxpayer funding of illegal immigrants, murders unborn babies right up to birth, and eliminate our individual rights, namely the Second Amendment?
There’s only one answer, they are dishonorable, characterless, and devoid of integrity only seeking their own personal interest, not that of America, certainly not that of Texas. The members of the Lincoln Project have duly made themselves my opposition, an adversary, and I am focused on defeating them along with the progressive socialist left, the Democrat Party, here in the Lone Star State.”
