In the middle of the night several evenings ago, Donald Trump got on Truth Social and delivered an insane screed that contained a new conspiracy theory, and then he attacked Mitch McConnell for not believing this new conspiracy. Trump claimed that Democrats want open borders so that they can get illegal immigrants to vote, even though there's literally no evidence to back this up.
Also, former Republican Representative Joe Walsh had some harsh words for his Party during a recent appearance on MSNBC. Walsh said that the Party needs to "wake the hell up" about what they've become because of Donald Trump, and he even admitted that he wouldn't be able to win an election today because of how extreme the Party has become. He's not wrong, and that's saying a lot since Walsh was one of the original members of the Tea Party.
And Republican rabble-rouser Laura Loomer is urging Republican voters to boycott the 2024 election if Donald Trump is removed from the ballot, and she even tried to get the hashtag "onlyTrump" trending on social media. It isn't immediately clear what the goal of this boycott movement would be, because if Republicans sit out the election then that guarantees full Democrat control of Washington, D.C. - which wouldn't be a bad thing.
Finally, Donald Trump lawyer Christina Bobb appeared on Newsmax over the weekend to try to convince voters that all of Trump's legal problems are just a form of "election interference," and therefore they shouldn't put much stock into them. Bobb would love for voters to pretend that Trump isn't in any trouble, but the reality is that he's still facing investigations, criminal trials, and civil lawsuits that are all going to come to a head this year.
