Donald Trump Jr. is not pleased with the response by “2024 GOP hopefuls” as his father fights for his political life.
The president’s son did not call out specific Republicans by name but told Twitter followers that key individuals have essentially clammed up amid ongoing election chaos.
“The total lack of action from virtually all of the ’2024 GOP hopefuls’ is pretty amazing,” he tweeted. “They have a perfect platform to show that they’re willing & able to fight but they will cower to the media mob instead.”
Mr. Trump Jr.’s. comments come as the commander in chief mounts legal challenges in key states still counting ballots and leaving the nation in political limbo.
Social media giants have also used a heavy hand to discipline users — including the president — who question the behavior of ballot counters and election officials.
“Don’t worry @realDonaldTrump will fight & they can watch as usual,” he continued. “One notable exception seems to be Ron DeSantis right now. He has been active and vocal. @RonDeSantisFL.”
Readers tagged Republicans such as Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in an apparent attempt to provoke a reaction.
“If true, this is HIGHLY disturbing,” Mr. Cruz wrote of possible election fraud in states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Nevada. “Elections should be decided by actual voters, not unscrupulous political operatives after the fact.”
The total lack of action from virtually all of the “2024 GOP hopefuls” is pretty amazing.
