The Lincoln Project Dubs House GOP ‘America’s Taliban’ – Here’s The Receipts That Prove They’re Right

Now that the most extreme members of the House Republican caucus have gotten major concessions from Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, you can expect the far right of the right-wing (a.k.a. the MAGA wing) of the GOP to pursue an agenda that will hurt most Americans and weaken the country.

The Lincoln Project is fond of calling these MAGA Republicans (think Reps. Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, and Jim Jordan) the American Taliban, and released an ad in November giving them that title.

With McCarthy beholden to this American Taliban, the Lincoln Project has released their ad again, along with this updated message:

When we released this ad in November, we told you there would be no compromise with the Ultra-MAGA if they won. This week they showed a willingness to take the nation hostage to further their own corrupt ambitions. 

They aren’t interested in policy debates or real governance, only implementing their culture war to roll back individual rights, crush dissent, eliminate fair elections, and destroy our democratic institutions.

For those who need supporting evidence to bolster the ad’s message, we brought the receipts that prove what the House GOP majority has planned for the next two years.

• Tackling inflation (Though they have no written plan)
• Dealing with crime (Again, no plan)
• Border security (They want President Biden to visit the border, but have no ideas beyond that)
• Impeachment of Biden and Biden administration officials (Payback for Trump’s TWO impeachments)
• Investigations of Hunter Biden (who holds no office or position of power), the FBI (for daring to serve a search warrant on Mar-a-Lago), the Justice Department (because they’re afraid of accountability for criminal behavior), and the origins of COVID-19 (because they hate Anthony Fauci and cannot admit Donald Trump screwed up the American response to the virus)

Can you say clusterfuck? That’s what we can look forward to for the next 22 months.

Oh, and there’s also hints that House Republicans will refuse to raise the debt ceiling unless President Biden agrees to massive cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid).

Buckle up, gang. It’s going to be one hell of ride, and the GOP is hoping to inflict as much pain as possible on anyone who didn’t vote for them.
