In an editorial in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, editor Gerard Baker, urged Republicans to dump Don Trump.
You may need a subscription to read the editorial. But here is a taster:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Gerard Baker, the editor-at-large of The Wall Street Journal, urged Republicans to publicly denounce Donald Trump and the former president’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
In an opinion piece published Monday, Baker wrote that many prominent Republicans and major donors don’t actually believe Trump’s election lies and would love for him to “go quietly away.”
“It is a desire expressed as fervently in private as it is assiduously and dexterously avoided in public,” said Baker, who served as the conservative newspaper’s editor-in-chief.......
Republicans worry Trump leading the presidential ticket in 2024 will be a “lose-lose” situation and the GOP is “is too important a political institution to continue to be a vehicle for this grand deception,” he added.
“Will someone speak that truth at least?” Baker concluded.
-------------------------------------------------------
So there is that.
When the dyed-in-the-wool conservative platform such as the WSJ (owned by Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News and employer of Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham) publishes this editorial....well, it is notable.
I highly doubt though, that Carlson, or Hannity, or Ingraham will remark on this editorial on the air.
IMHO
