Alyssa Farah, former White House Director of Strategic Communications under former President Donald Trump, has said that she won't be supporting Trump again, even if he decides to run again for president in 2024.
"If he's a Republican candidate in 2024, yes, I will not be supporting Donald Trump in 2024," Farah said on the Sunday evening instalment of the MSNBC's The Mehdi Hasan Show.
Farah said that she supported Republican Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney speaking out against Trump's baseless claim that widespread voter fraud caused his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden. She also said the GOP's "complete loyalty" to Trump is "fundamentally un-conservative," "strategically unwise" and "also morally reprehensible."
Additionally, Farah voiced concern that the Republican Party's continued loyalty to Trump will cause the party to lose voters, particularly older people and women. She also claimed that supporting Trump will push away Republican legislators who are more interested in discussing legislative policy.

(48,955 posts)Given her previous gigs, and her family connections, I doubt this is a principles type stand. Given those she's worked with, it isn't an obvious ideological gig (heh - as if anything related to the GOP is ideological anymore). Very murky. Wonder what her angle is.

(48,955 posts)her bona fides are all far right to fringe. Daughter (and one time employee) of founder (and far right moon barker) of World Net weekly. Look at her other "creds". No need to rehabilitate her image with any of those groups (school, employer) all are trumpy as all get out.
