MAGA Republicans may scream and shout about what they purportedly care about but the proof “is in the doing,” National Review senior writer Charles C.W. Cooke wrote in a biting new column published Wednesday.
“And, frankly, I have seen nothing from the rah-rah-rah wing of the GOP in recent years that suggests that it minds one way or the other if the party wins, loses, ties, or disappears bubbling into the sea,” Cooke said.
Cooke’s analysis stemmed from the outrage from “some of the louder voices within the online right,” he explained, over his National Review colleague Natan Ehrenreich’s observation that Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump is currently releasing and promoting new music — just two months away from Election Day — “instead of focusing on her role as a co-chair of the Republican National Committee.”
The GOP has been hijacked by nepo-babies, fumed Cooke.
Lara Trump, who is married to Trump scion Eric, “is merely the latest symptom of the GOP’s indifference and sloth,” wrote Cooke, a longtime critic of Donald Trump who’s previously called the former president and current GOP 2024 nominee a “loser” who shouldn’t be on the paryt’s ticket.
“I am repeatedly told that it is imperative that we ‘save the country,’ and yet, invariably, the people who shout this most loudly exhibit no discernible interest in doing any of the difficult things that would get them closer to their ostensible goal,” he added.
Lara Trump and Madeline Jaymes last week released their first responders-dedicated duet “Hero.”
It went down badly on social media.
