In a moment of frankness, Republicans Against Trump founder Tim Miller revealed that his efforts to dethrone President Donald Trump are part of a kind of GOP “atonement.”

But it was when [Nicolle] Wallace asked Miller what the impetus was “for all of the fire burning underneath former Republicans to make sure that Donald Trump doesn’t serve a second term?”

Miller gave a surprisingly frank answer that Wallace said she hasn’t been able to get out of other GOP operatives fighting back against Trump.

“Man, I think that — my friend John Weaver used this word in a recent article, ‘atonement,'” Miller said. “We have a special responsibility to take this guy down. He’s a monster of our creating somewhat, even some of us worked against him in 2016. And so, you know, family feuds always get a little bit nastier. You know how to take your siblings down a peg better than strangers do. We’re doing our best to do that and we’re really trying to go into these red states. That ad that you saw those are the first states we went into and where we’re spending our money right now because we think there are a lot of Republicans like us in those states. When they hear from people like us, they get the strength to come out and say, ‘me, too. I’ve had enough of this guy, too.’ Even though I’ve identified as a Republican my whole life, we’ve just had enough. He’s just demonstrated he’s not up for the job.”

1. There is no atonement for you reTHUGS. I advocate that we show you no mercy and take

no prisoners.

8. I don't agree. Better late than never, and

we could certainly welcome their votes.

13. If it were not for the qualifier 'somewhat', I'd agree with you.

It's all the way, or its ass covering pure and simple.

2. This seems Important! Mahalo, catbyte.. I don't

care what it is.. as long as they're doing it!

Man, I think that — my friend John Weaver used this word in a recent article, ‘atonement,'” Miller said. “We have a special responsibility to take this guy down.

Mahalo!!!

5. I constantly let them know that they

get no kudos from me because they produced this monster and they are now cleaning up their mess. They do have a special responsibility and I'm glad they know it. But they are still republicons in their hearts. Rick Wilson told Vet Votes "good work son." They still think their white maleness demands privilege.

6. I know.. still appreciate them helping to take trump & enablers

Down if we can be so fortunate to make that happen.

3. Good. It's the least that they owe us.

4. PBS has a segment Open Mind

i think it's called where they interviewed Weaver, and he said pretty much the same thing about taking down fatnixon ..

it was a pretty interesting show

✌🏼

7. It sounds interesting.

[dweller]

11. it took me by surprise

bc i didn't know who he was, or what the program was about as i just flipped to the channel , but here was this guy really speaking out about dumping fatnixon and complicit repugs ... i thought he was a Dem at first til it became clear he was with LP ..

✌🏼

12. Thank you for relating it, dweller.. I appreciate

it so much.

They're Not Enabling the Monster Fuck Now.. and that's what we need. Everyone on deck who is not an Enabler.

9. I will take every bit of help available to us to rid ourselves of this monster

Having said that, following the election if they turn on a dime and begin bashing Dems. .... which they are republicans, then what?

We need unity, not division by a once republican org.

10. Funny thing about a Golem, it always turns on its creators. nt
