President Donald Trump insisted the Republican Party is more unified than ever during a fiery Sunday night post on Truth Social, even as the GOP continues to wrestle with internal fractures over leadership and legislative battles.
According to Fox News, Trump proclaimed the party has ânever been so United AS IT iS RIGHT NOW!â and dismissed internal critics with a sharply worded jab.
âOther than Rand Paul, Rand Paul Jr. (Massie!), Marjorie âTraitorâ Brown, and a couple of other âlowlifes,â and other than the fact that many want the Election threatening Filibuster TERMINATED ⌠and some donât, there is great spirit and cohesion,â he wrote.
The president also boasted about the size and strength of the GOP since he first launched his 2015 campaign.
âThe Republican Party is MUCH BIGGER than it was,â Trump said. âMany Millions More Members! We now have the Strongest Border EVER, Biggest Tax Cuts, the Best Economy, Highest Stock Market in USA History, and sooo much more.â
He closed the post with a familiar rallying cry: âBUT, THE BEST IS YET TO COME! VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!â
Trumpâs declaration of unity came just 48 hours after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., a longtime ally, announced she would resign her seat following a public rift with the president. Trump argued she had âgone Far Left,â a characterization that Greene fiercely rejected in a lengthy statement.
âAmericans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both political parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more,â Greene wrote. âAnd the results are always the same â nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman.â
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., lamented her departure.
âIâm very sad for our country,â Massie said. âShe embodies what a true Representative should be. Everyone should read her statement; thereâs more honesty expressed in these four pages than most politicians will speak in a lifetime.â
Democrats saw the situation differently. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, criticized Greene during an appearance on CNNâs âState of the Union.â
âHonestly, I was like, youâve got to be kidding me,â Crockett said. âYouâre on the other side of the president for one week, and you canât take the heat.â
She added that Greeneâs rhetoric has long contributed to the hostile political environment.
âImagine what it is to sit in my shoes ⌠to have people like her who are constantly fanning the flames of hate, and imagine what those threats look like when you literally are someone like me.â
