Republican Group Burns Trump Supporters In Mock PSA To Air On Fox News
The spot warning about "Partisan Derangement Syndrome" is set to air on Trump's favorite show.

A Republican group is running an ad on Fox News that calls out members of the GOP who recognize the danger of Donald Trump but plan to vote for him if he’s the party’s nominee in 2024.

The spot from the Republican Accountability Project is meant to resemble the old ASPCA ads featuring singer Sarah McLachlan. Except instead of a plea to help animals escape abusive environments, this one’s a mock PSA for Republicans suffering from “Partisan Derangement Syndrome” who are “too far gone” to be saved:


The ad is set to run nationally on “Fox & Friends” next week ― reportedly one of Trump’s favorite shows.

“This ad shows the ridiculous lengths these Republicans will go to try to remain in Trump’s good graces,” Sarah Longwell, the organization’s executive director, said in a news release. “They know Trump’s lies about the 2020 election and actions on January 6 were wrong, but they lack the courage to take a stand and say they won’t support him.”


The Republican Accountability Project, a group of “never Trump” conservatives, has been calling out members of the GOP who enabled the former president, especially during and after the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol that was carried out by his supporters. The group has taken out ads against House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and others, and has vowed to support candidates who challenge Trump’s enablers in the primaries.

and caused an insurrection is way beyond partisanship. Bill Barr saying he would still vote for Donald Trump if he were the republican nominee and then trying to justify it by vilifying Democrats is the same evil propaganda propagated by Trump and far right extremist that helped create the sentiments that Trump was able to exploit into an insurrection in the first place. Basically what their saying is if they are giving the chose of having to live with some progressive policies for awhile or ending the 246 experiment in American Democracy. They would chose the end of Democracy. That's basically what their saying when they say they would still vote for Trump. Somebody should ask them these questions directly and not let them weasel out of it.

They are trying desperately to win back the MAGAs who left them after they called Arizona for TFG on election night 2020. OAN and Newsmax took away a lot of those viewers.
