In a shocking display of disloyalty, 21 House Republicans turned their backs on President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson this week, voting against a critical $1.2 trillion spending bill that the administration desperately needed to advance its America First agenda.
The defectors included supposed conservative champions Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who cited concerns over election integrity provisions and Department of Homeland Security funding. But here's the kicker – this is the same DHS that Trump needs fully funded to execute his historic mass deportation operation that Americans voted for in overwhelming numbers.
Patriots on social media are expressing their frustration with these so-called conservatives. As one user @Ledzep2425 pointed out, highlighting the Fox News coverage: "21 Republicans break with Trump, Speaker Johnson on $1.2T spending bill." The betrayal is real, folks.
The RINO Problem Persists
This isn't just about one spending bill – it's about whether Republicans will actually support the Trump agenda that swept them into power. These 21 Republicans apparently think they know better than the 47th President of the United States and the millions of Americans who gave him a mandate for change.
What's particularly galling is that while these Republicans play political games, Democrats are still trying to rewrite history. Social media user @aymelis is still pushing the tired narrative about Senator Lankford's failed border bill, claiming Trump opposed it for political reasons. Wrong! Trump opposed it because it was a weak, watered-down compromise that wouldn't have secured our border.
Meanwhile, patriots like @BelannF are asking the real questions: "WE ALL TRIED TO WARN THE DEMOCRATS THAT THEY REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE WHAT WAS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES, DIDN'T WE? Why are they being so quiet after all the expose's?"
The Bottom Line
President Trump needs every Republican in his corner to deliver on his promises to the American people. These 21 holdouts need to decide: Are they with Trump and the MAGA movement, or are they going to continue playing establishment games while our country burns?
The clock is ticking, and Americans are watching. Which side of history will these Republicans choose?
