What if it’s not Democrats but Republicans who we need to aim our fire on? What if it’s the party that supposedly stands for freedom and traditional values is the one that consistently undermines both? Indeed, what if the record shows that time after time the Republican Party has effectively acted as nothing less than accomplice of the communist Left? 

This is the case Emerald Robinson makes with devastating effect in her new book, Judases: How the GOP Backstabs Trump and Betrays Its Voters: that more than just spineless and cowardly -- that has long been a given -- the GOP leadership are the Judases of our time. 

How do they get away with it? By talking a good game – denouncing DEI, and open borders, and rampant crime and all the rest of the progressive insanity – for public consumption. But behind closed the scenes, they blithely let it all go on, content to hold hearings ad infinitum as the Democrats get every harrowing priority fully funded. Content to watch the FBI weaponized against patriotic Americans and to allow the MAGA agenda to be subverted at every turn.

As one of the most honest and hard-nosed conservative reporters on the scene, Emerald has had a front row seat to it all, and reveals in detail the ongoing duplicity of the GOP leadership in all its sordid detail. She shows how the Paul Ryans and Mitch McConnells let FISA courts enable spying on Trump, and  how the they’ve otherwise undermined the MAGA agenda at every turn! The DHS refuses to follow law and secure border. Funded! The agency DARPA helps create Wuhan virus. Funded! Ukraine? Funded! 

Average Republican voters have been conditioned to think that if only Republicans achieved power that would fix everything. We tell ourselves “Trump would have won in 2020 if only he’d kept his foot out of his mouth,” while refusing to acknowledge that, in fact, Trump “lost” solely because the election was stolen by the security state. And, yes, Trump if – and more like when -- he “loses” again next month, it won’t be because of his performance in the debate or that he said Haitians eat pets or that he turned off suburban women with his rhetoric. It will have far more to do with the reality that his fellow Republicans have been undermining him from the moment he descended the escalator and stepped into American political life. 

Emerald knows the truth, and tells the story as no one else has, not just in alarming detail, but with a spirit, panache and humor otherwise nonexistent in today’s timid and cowed political climate. In Judases she makes what is truly the essential argument: that the Republican Party must be dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up if our country is to be saved.
