Former Trump Officials Are Trying to Rebrand as Anti-Trump Activists. Don't Fall For It
There are few things Americans love more than a redemption arc. Throughout the Trump administration, cable news anchors and audiences have been fascinated by narratives of conservatives who could not stomach the wicked excess of Donald Trump.
Case in point: CNN’s Jake Tapper reported on Tuesday that a small group of former Trump officials held a “conference call last Monday to discuss efforts to fend off his efforts to, in their view, erode the democratic process.”
That sentence already seems a bit shaky. What, exactly, are these people doing? Tapper can’t say, and neither can they, apparently. “We’re still trying to figure out what it is” that we want to do, one participant told CNN. “Outcomes are key.”
Per CNN, their plans “ranged from ‘shining a light’ on Trump’s corporate contributors to targeting for defeat in the primary or general election each individual Trump has endorsed for state and local races, although [ret. Gen. John] Kelly is reluctant to do anything that involves specifically endorsing any candidate.”
