Rick Wilson and guest, former GOP Congressman Joe Walsh, imagine a post-Trump Republican Party – one that Walsh says can’t emerge until the GOP's MAGA cult dies. And while there will be a first GOP primary debate without Trump, Walsh explains why Trump will still loom large and has no reason to attend.
On this episode of The Enemies List, Rick is joined by Sherrilyn Ifill. Sherrilyn is a lawyer and author and former President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Together, they discuss America's historical issues with voting rights, predominantly in African American communities.
From Ruth Ben-Ghiat: "For the authoritarians of the GOP, who no longer see free and fair elections as valid ways of deciding America's leadership, that amounts to an "overthrow," to use Paxton's word. This is where the GOP is now."
While flamboyant characters within the GOP continue to draw focus during McCarthy's desperate push to pass anything, moderates within the party make it clear-the real issue is the party's extremism on abortion rights.
They just can't help themselves. Why impeachment (not to mention another shutdown attempt) will backfire on MAGA in the places they need help the most. 18 House Republicans in Biden-won districts will not like where this is going... and why John Fetterman's exactly right to call 'em out.
