You may remember Miles Taylor, the former Homeland Security official who anonymously criticized then-President Trump. On Thursday, he says, he and other true-blue Republicans will launch a movement to pull the GOP out of its wildly out-of-true orbit -- the one that circles Donald Trump.
The opening salvo is a letter that reiterates pre-Trump ideals of conservatism and threatens to form a new, third party unless the GOP pulls away from the Velveeta Voldemort. There are said to be more than 100 signatories who are big name Republicans, ex-Republicans, and independents.
"This is a first step," said Taylor, who is one of the organizers. “[We] think that the situation has gotten so dire with the Republican Party that it is now time to seriously consider whether an alternative might be the only option.”
He continues, “[I]f we can’t get the G.O.P. back to a rational party that supports free minds, free markets, and free people, I’m out and a lot of people are coming with me.”
