Newsa conservative publication founded by a former Fox News contributor Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayespublished a rare, unsparing editorial slamming the president Donald Trump On Wednesday, his “supporters” in the Republican Party were furious.
Under the heading “The Price of Silence,” NewsThe editor of described the depressing state of affairs, noting Renee Goode and Alex Prettythe manufactured Greenland crisis, Canada’s cozying up to China, ongoing economic uncertainty and the criminal investigation into the Fed chair Jerome Powell As an example of the chaos caused by the Trump administration.
“A recurring irony in the history of world politics is that dictators rarely bring about the order they were elected or installed, even a servile order imposed through state terror. No, more reliably, dictators bring about chaos,” they argued. “The consequences of the chaos Americans are now experiencing are only beginning to be realized, as is inevitable when a president of the United States ignores the rule of law and insists that he is limited only by his own sense of morality — a sense of morality that does not appear to be entirely present in this case.”
The article continues:
we know send Readers have read and heard us repeat these points a thousand times in articles and podcasts, and we realize the same send Editorials, while rare, don’t go “I accuse!” which forces those in power to rethink where they are and what got them there. But nonetheless, we repeat: Donald Trump is the only person unqualified for the office of President, having no sense of personal integrity or executive acumen, and being lazy, vain, ignorant, and prone to flattery—all of which make him easily manipulated by figures like these. Stephen MillerHis nationalist obsession and childish Nietzschean posturing have dominated the administration’s agenda for months, and he is emblematic of the type of advisers the president has surrounded himself with in the run-off campaign.
“But Trump is far from the only one at fault for the chaos we face,” the submission said Newsbriefly turning your attention to the previous President Joe Bidenand then congressional Republicans.
“When the history of our era is written, congressional leaders — especially Republican congressional leaders — will be remembered as far more important and culpable than they appear now. It would be too charitable to characterize their careers as inaction; they were agents not only of the specific crimes of the Trump administration, but more generally of entrenching the subordination of the presidency and the entire legislative branch — the legislative branch created by Article I of our Constitution to law and provide oversight to federal agencies,” it argued. “In a very real sense, they egregiously violated their oaths of office, as did representatives and senators from both parties who have contributed over the years to reducing Congress to its current miserable state.”
After asking tough questions to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) — “If you couldn’t face it all — all of it — why did you choose to stay in the Senate?” — The editorial concluded:
Dante Put his cowards and opportunists – those who refuse to take a stand in life – in the antechamber of his hell: it’s not really hell, but you can see the rest of hell from there. America’s cowards and opportunists are also standing on the edge of the precipice in 2026, bringing our country to a horrific and unspeakable edge. We got here one step at a time – and hopefully we remember the way back.
