There is a general consensus among American conservatives that the way forward will be to continue and expand Trump‘s advocacy of fighting the Chinese Communist Party and the left. U.S. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (left) and then-President Trump (right) at a rally in 2020.
After a second impeachment and intra-party fight against former U.S. President Donald Trump in the first two months of the year, the top Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are ready to look ahead and confident of recapturing victory. And, they disclosed they have a plan of action. In that plan, fighting the Chinese Communist Party and upholding the ideas advocated by Trump are important components.
On Saturday (Feb. 27), House Republican (Minority) Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Indiana Congressman Jim Banks (R-Ind.) presented their “Take Back America” vision at the ongoing 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). ” vision.
Fighting Communist China is a future focus for conservatives
A key component of the future of the U.S. Republican Party is: rebelling against the Chinese Communist regime and linking the CCP to the U.S. Democratic Party.
McCarthy said, “I don’t know what impact the CCP party and government has on the Democratic Party, but it’s so powerful.”
He emphasized, “It’s so powerful, it’s scary.”
McCarthy cited California Democratic U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell and his scandalous relationship with female Chinese Communist spy Fang Fang.
Swalwell remained a member of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee after allegedly leaking information to the Chinese Communist Party and was not prosecuted. Moreover, he served as an impeachment manager in the case of Trump’s impeachment. Some analysts say the Chinese Communist Party’s high level of penetration of the American left is evident.
Trumpism is also a priority
The outlook also includes that they will not abandon what President Trump has brought to the party, which people call “Trumpism.
Banks said, “The most unpopular [Republicans] in our party are those who want to erase Donald Trump and Donald Trump’s supporters from our party.”
Banks went on to express a rosy outlook for retaining Trump and his supporters.
He said, “If that happens (that Trump is broadly popular and people move in his direction), then we will win a majority in 2022.”
“We absolutely want to be back in the White House in 2024.”
Banks said his father, a factory worker, was a Democrat until Trump’s arrival, then converted to a Republican Party supporter after Trump’s appeal.
“We have to keep voters like my father in the (popular) fray.” Banks said.
“Under Kevin McCarthy’s leadership, under my leadership, we will continue to be the party of the working class for a long Time, and there are some things that do go right there.”
Banks may replace Cheney
Banks, 41, is chairman of the Republican Study Committee for the 117th Congress. In that role, Banks has helped lead the message of House Republicans by running talking points such as those on the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan” bailout legislation overspending.
Banks has been in part responsible for Republican messaging, just as Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney (R) once did.
Cheney is the third-ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives and serves as chairman of the Republican Conference. Technically, she is the House Republicans’ director of information communications. However, she faces challenges to her leadership position after voting for the impeachment of President Trump.
The message from this CPAC meeting suggests that Cheney may step down and Banks will replace her.
Overriding theme and must win
The overarching theme of the conservative vision is to expand the party and make room for all those who oppose the left-wing priorities being pushed by the Democratic Party.
“These days, we hear a lot about identity politics,” Banks said.
“If you identify yourself as an American, then you’re welcome in the Republican Party.”
People are setting all eyes on 2022. In response, McCarthy is confident.
He said Republicans will take back the House majority in 2022. “I’ll bet my house on it,” he said.
“That’s the smallest majority the Democrats have had in 100 years.”
“(Taking the win,) we can do it.”
