3:53Now PlayingThe Orange County, California Republican Party was forced to call the cops on a group of MAGA supporters who crashed their recent meeting. The meeting crashes were wearing "RINO Hunter" T-shirts, a slogan that is a favorite of Donald Trump that he throws around to anyone that doesn't support him 100%. But the small group of idiots were also unmasked and unruly, and their ringleader has a history of being at events that end up turning violent. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

In Orange County, California this week, a meeting of the Orange County Republicans was interrupted when a group of die hard MAGA fans stormed into the meeting, wearing their RINO hunter t-shirts, RINO, R I N O Republican in name only, the O on rhino was basically a, a cross hairs. And they disrupted the meeting because they believe of course, that if your Republicans do not blindly support Donald Trump, then you have no place in today's Republican party. And it got so heated between the two groups, because of course the RINO hunters were not wearing masks as they were required to do, that the police had to be called. So we have now reached the stage in the Republican civil war where Republicans are calling the police on one another. Now here's the thing. This little RINO hunter excursion here was put together by an individual by the name of Nick Taurus.
And Taurus is actually running for office as a Republican, but he really has no support to speak of. But look at these pictures. Okay. I want you to see this massive crowd of RINO hunters that showed up at this meeting to say that we're the ones with the power. Do you see 'em there? How many can you count? Because you can count 'em all on two hands. Not to mention the fact that this looks like one of the most, you know, Motley crews of weirdos I think I've ever seen. I don't typically like to make fun of individuals, but come on, these people are beyond pathetic. They think they're gonna storm into this meeting and make some kind of big statement, you know, act like we're the one in charge of the Republican party, when you've got nine people, maybe, and you storm into a room that's packed full, and you think you are going to make a difference. See, we talk a lot, obviously about this Republican party rift, the civil war, whatever you wanna refer to it as, but this little RINO hunter excursion kind of shows that it's really not much of a war at all.
Sure, there's a rift, but that chasm is so small that it's almost immeasurable. The normal Republicans really do outweigh the crazy ones for the most part. But they keep bowing down to these weirdos in the orange shirts, because it's not just that group of individuals. It's the groups of individuals all over the country that have no power. They sure as hell don't have the numbers that the normal Republicans have. Yet, the normal Republicans continue to back down from a fight with these individuals. They refuse to stand up to Donald Trump. They refuse to say that we're the party, not you, please go away with your stupid little t-shirt. And so it is what it is. They perpetuate this fighting all because they're not brave enough to stand up for what they want, at least the RINO hunters know what they want. They're not cowards. I'll give them that much. They, they may have a couple screws loose. Sure. They may be backing the wrong horse. Absolutely. But hell, at least they have a little bit of a backbone to stand up for what they want, which is more than we can say for the remainder of the Republican party.
