Former Trump official: GOP has become America's biggest 'national security threat'

In an interview with MSNBC's Jason Johnson, a former Department of Homeland Security official who served under former president Donald Trump claims that he believes the Republican Party has become a threat to the security of the country and warned what could happen if they reclaim the House and the Senate in the 2022 midterms.

According to Miles Taylor -- a Republican who served as chief of staff at the DHS until 2019 before leaving in disgust -- should the GOP take over the House, current House minority leader Kevin McCarthy will likely be Donald Trump's puppet if he is handed the gavel by his party.

"The number one national security threat I've ever seen in my life to this country's democracy is the party that I'm in, the Republican Party," Taylor warned. "If my party retakes the House of Representatives in the next cycle, it's going to become a haunted house. And the ghoul and the specter haunting that house is going to be Donald Trump."

Taylor also took a shot at McCarthy, reminding the senior Republican that the GFOP lost the White House, the Senate and the House during Trump's four years.

3. The GQP views democracy as a hurdle to jump over on their way to total control of the country.

To them, voting is an illusion they perpetuate to give the masses -- even members of their own party -- the feeling that somehow they are in control. Even though they've shown their hand by passing not only draconian voter supression laws and others which give them total control over the vote counting and certifying process, it's not going to change as long as a DINO like Joe Manchin is in a position of control. Manchin showed why he's taking such a hard line on the filibuster when he went to Texas for a fund-raiser where many of the big donors are members of the fossil fuel industry. I admire the Texas legislators -- it's2021, and they're willing to re-fight the same efforts to take away their right to vote that they fought a half century ago.

From the start I was wondering where the money was coming from to keep Manchin under Moscow Mitch's thumb, and now I know.

4. TRUTH.

Today's Republicans are simply unfit to hold public responsibility.

If it's not the fascism, it's the covid-loving.
