Republican Senator Gets SLAMMED By MAGA For Standing Up To Trump

There is absolutely no room for dissent in today’s Republican Party, and if you aren’t 100% behind everything that Trump says then you will be immediately attacked. Republican Senator Mike Rounds found that out the hard way on Sunday when he appeared on ABC’s This Week to talk about Kash Patel’s nomination to be the director of the FBI. Rounds defended current FBI Director Christopher Wray, and he was IMMEDIATELY attacked by MAGA allies all across social media. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

There is absolutely no room for dissent in today's Republican party. Even the concept of dissent, even the appearance of dissent when it doesn't actually exist is not acceptable. And Republican Senator Mike Rounds found that out the hard way. This past weekend when he appeared Sunday on ABC's this Week program, Mike Rounds was asked about Kosh Patel being nominated to be Donald Trump's FBI Director and Mike Rounds. Instead of going on about Kosh Patel being good or bad, actually defended the current director of the FBI, who, by the way, was put in power by Donald Trump himself. Christopher Ray here is what Mike Rounds had to say. He said that Ray was quote, a very good man and he didn't have any complaints about the way he's done his job.

N BBC, A BC news anchor. Jonathan Carl then asks him, is it a mistake to fire him? Why is Trump determined to fire the FBI director let, let alone one he nominated in the first place, and the response from Mike Rounds was simply, we don't speak for the President elect. So he wasn't even saying that Chris Ray shouldn't be fired and replaced by Kash Patel. He was just like, Hey, Chris Ray, I like the guy. He's a pretty good guy. I think he's done a decent job. That was it. Okay. That's the level of dissent, if you can even call it that. Then Mike rounds gave on a, B, C, but apparently that was too much for the MAGA world, and Donald Trump's allies on social media immediately pounced on rounds because he wasn't apparently a hundred percent behind Donald Trump, even though he didn't give any indication that he was against him either. Here's what Laura Ingram said on Twitter. I think Senator Rounds should go home and make these points at a town meeting in front of his constituents.

Okay? Do you honestly think Mike Rounds constituents are sitting down at the dinner table at night talking to their spouses as they can't afford food? They're like, man, that Chris Ray at the FBI, I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, it's keeping me up at night. Right? Do you think that prior to this report, Laura Ingram, how many of Mike Round's constituents do you think could have told you off the top of their head who the director of the FBI was? Right? I mean, let's be honest here. Nobody typically cares. So you're acting like, well wait till his constituents find out. They're gonna be like, oh, that's who what? Who's my senator? I don't even know his name. Yeah, that's gonna be the reaction. So not exactly a own that you think you may have there. Then of course, you have conservative radio show host, Jesse Kelly, who wrote on Twitter, south Dakota's, one of the Reddest states in the union. They could

Have the most blood thirsty right wing senators if they wanted to. So if losers like Mike Rounds torpedo the most important nominations, the GOP primary voter only has himself to blame. Again, y'all are acting like people sit at home every day talking about the director of the FBI. Like. It literally has no bearing on their lives whatsoever. Y'all want Kash Patel in there so that it will have an impact on people's day-to-Day lives, because he is pledged to go after Trump's enemies, including those in the media. That clip is making the rounds right now. Of course, not as much as it should be because Hunter Biden, but still, people don't sit around and talk about the director of the FBI unless they're literally being investigated by the FBI. Another one, Sean Davis said, quote, he's the co-founder of the Conservative, the Federalist Magazine. He said, either Mike Rounds has an IQ of 85, he's a co-conspirator in the corruption.
