Former Republican sounds alarm about 'radicalized' GOP base
Raw StoryA conservative offered a news flash about the "completely radicalized" state of the Republican Party Tuesday. Former Republican congressman Joe Walsh watched in shock and horror at the rantings and ravings of Donald Trump and others at last weekend's Conservative Political Action Conference, and while he found their outlandish statements "eminently mockable," he cautioned in a new column for The Bulwark that it would be a mistake to write them off as some lunatic fringe. For better or worse, he pointed out, the U.S. has two political parties -- and one of them has been taken over by Trump and others, like Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, who once might have been consigned to the margins but are now mainstream politicians with real influence over the GOP. "One of our two major political parties is radicalized," Walsh wrote.
