How does this affect the Republican Party?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Begala said, \u201cWell, I think he\u2019s going to run. And that\u2019s not just me from the outside. Talk to people close to Trump. It\u2019s close to 100% certainty that he\u2019s going to run. That\u2019s going to chill, I think, many other Republicans from getting in the race. And it\u2019s going to further solidify what was once a great political party is now \u2014 it\u2019s become a political death cult of personality around Donald Trump. It\u2019s lamentable for the Republicans. It\u2019s dangerous for the country but almost certain to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Anchor Jake Tapper said, \u201cI want you to take a listen to a Republican in Arizona who is running for governor and has been endorsed by Donald Trump discussing the vaccine mandate that the Biden administration has put forward and through OSHA, The Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Take a listen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During an interview, Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake said, \u201cIf I were governor right now and he sent his OSHA goons to this state to violate our civil rights, I would meet them at the airport with our DPS or state police and arrest them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tapper said, \u201cI mean, that is this new tide of truly Trump Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Begala said, \u201cWell, it harkens back to nullification, which led us into the Civil War. Sorry to be so dramatic. A state governor can stop Federal Safety and Health administrators from protecting the health and safety of American citizens is pretty crazy, and she seems to be hinting at force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThese folks, some of them are, especially Donald Trump, are a threat to the republic, a threat to the nation. Which means Democrats better get their act together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic strategist Paul Begala said Wednesday on CNN\u2019s \u201cThe Lead\u201d that former President Donald Trump and his \u201cdeath cult\u201d supporters are a \u201cthreat to the nation.\u201d Anchor Jake Tapper said, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-996551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/996551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=996551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/996551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=996551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=996551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=996551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
