Internecine Warfare?

A Republican-led advocacy group is calling state Republican leadership to end their audits of the 2020 election. 

To get the point across they’re using billboards that read “Trump Lost.”

Republicans for Voting Rights, an organization operating under Defending Democracy Together, has launched a quarter-million-dollar campaign to erect dozens of these billboards in major markets across the country, including this digital billboard right in the heart of Times Square...

On Twitter, the Republican Accountability Project — a sister organization of Republicans for Voting Rights (RVR) — confirmed the Times Square billboard was up as of more than a week ago.  A representative for the group said “dozens” of similar digital billboards were already up and running with more traditional static billboards scheduled to follow.

Many of the billboards are, or will soon be, situated in states “where there’s discussion about an audit of the 2020 election,” according to the Republican Accountability Project (RAP) website. Such billboards are going up in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin, per the RVR.

Defending Democracy Together, the anti-Trump advocacy organization under which the RVR and RAP operate, was founded by “lifelong conservatives and Republicans” including Bill Kristol, who served as chief of staff under Vice President Dan Quayle, and Sarah Longwell, a former chair of the Log Cabin Republicans.

“We are Republicans, former Republicans, and conservatives committed to protecting every American’s right to vote,” explains a message that appears on the Defending Democracy Together website. 

 

Internecine warfare now in the GOP. Can any good come of this?
