The Revenge of the RINO's; the Elbridge Colby nominatition.

FYI: Right now, Senate GOP is derailing one of Trump’s most important nominees…

Colby was nominated for Undersecreary of Defense for Policy, but he opposed the Iraq War so the RINO/Neocon wing, led by Republican Senator RogerWicker, are gunning for him. J.D. Vance is conventiently out of town to defend the pick.

Wicker has already shot his mouth off to the press, saying he ws "disturbed" about Pete Hegseth's comments about Ukraine, for instance. And he demanding an "accounting" for accusations made against Hegseth in his confirmation hearings.

So this sneaky RiNO is quietly working against the Trump Administration even now.

Charlie Kirk bemoans the fact on X:



Right now, as JD is in Europe Senate Republicans are launching an effort to thwart one of the most important people for the new administration @ElbridgeColby @SenatorWicker and others are holding up and delaying Colby

Why?

Because he challenged the Iraq war and thinks a war with Iran would be a mistake. A position held by 90% of the American people

This is the next deep state plot against Trump.

Trump needs his full team CONFIRMED!

I supported the Iraq War and am perhaps the last person to still think it was a strategically sound decision. The implementation, and emphasis on nation-building, was where it went wrong.

And I also think we need to deal with the Iran problem once and for all. They must not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. But how do we do it? Trump's approach is going to be through economic strangulation, and that's a very good way to go. Also, we can actually turn the CIA lose for a change and foment a color revolution there instead of having them hang around D.C. and try to crayola the United States like they did to Donald Trump. Bombs will be of limited value, but they will be of value. So too will cyber-attacks. Putting boots on the ground should be our measure of last resort though; Iran would be a bear to take and hold militarily. But they love America and many of their citizens want to be Westernized. Fomenting a revolution wouldn't be that difficult; it's just no prior administration wanted to do it.

at any rate Trump deserves his pick and this Wicker guy needs to pipe down. But Wicker's current term ends in 2031, so he feels safe to buck the President.
