They became RINOS because they refused to swear fealty to Trump over the Constitution. Their hardcore conservative political principles remained the same.
The party changed, not them.
Nah, disagree. The party in the same. You have an extremist segment that goes to some stupid part of the scale, but “republicans” are still the same.
Cheney and kinsinger just decided to throw their party into the shitter, capitulating to the democrats view. You know, wouldn’t be giving them shit if they would have at least attempted to give some semblance of balance and fairness to the whole investigation, but they didn’t. They did exactly what the left wanted them to do, which was “get trump”. Those two didn’t even ask for any witnesses or evidence to defend trump, they didn’t object to any of the things the dems did. They stayed silent when the committee destroyed the testimony, and withheld the rest of the footage. In other words, they played the stooges of the democrats through and through.
If they had even attempted to exhibit some kind of attempt at fairness, I’d be like “alright, at least they tried”, but they didn’t. They were on the side of the lies and deceit of the dems from the get go, and for that, they are rinos.
