Gingrich says House GOP should expel ‘anti-Republican’ Gaetz

[Landon Caeli]

Political compass of the 2016 primaries. Trump is more Authoritarian Right now than then.

However, I'm not able to accept that chart, considering they likely included Trump’s immigration policies as "authoritarian", when it shouldn't be included (since they're not American citizens).

Also, according to the chart, Trump is only as far right as Bush, and is less right wing than Rubio, and Cruz.

Realistically, Trump is only slightly more right than Bill Clinton.

Trump has been openly accepting of the LGBTQ community, has never attempted to ban books, and holds a more moderate view on abortion than the extreme religious-right..

In 2016, Trump claimed he was pro-LGBT while trying to be elected. After he got in office, his administration consistently rolled back protections for the LGBT community. I believe most in that "community" find Trump just as anti-LGBT as DeSantis.

Here's how I approached the chart; I took the test. I learned what issues were in play and where my views fell on the chart.
It seems pretty close - for me. Your experience could vary.

Say one thing - do something different is a defacto Trump M.O.

I suspect Pence had a great amount of influence in that decision.

Probably, but going along with it doesn't exactly scream "Pro-LGBT" from Trump.

Gaetz is the definitive Republican now. He represents the very core of the GOP.

Prove me wrong.

Pence Adviser Says Matt Gaetz ‘Came Here For the Teenage Interns On Capitol Hill’ – Not To Govern​

“But the people who were masquerading as fiscal conservatives really, really aren’t, Jake,” Short added. “I mean, Matt Gaetz, to say he came as a fiscal crusader, it’s more likely he came here for the teenage interns on Capitol Hill, to be honest. Look, he’s voted for continuing resolutions. He’s voted for omnibus bills. He voted for trillions of dollars in Covid spending. Even this year, he put forward an earmark, and yet he’s presented himself as, ‘I’m doing to do this for the fiscal benefit of the country.’ That’s not honest. The guy just has a distaste for Kevin and used the rules to dethrone him.”
