From WesternJournalism- Conservative talk show host and constitutional attorney Mark Levin recently erupted in a pointed on-air rant aimed at the leaders of his own party. After Republicans voted to pass a largely unpopular spending bill to avoid a government shutdown, Levin insisted that his loyalty to the GOP is growing increasingly strained. “I want to tell the Republican Party, the RNC, the NRSC, the NCCC, the NAACP, whatever they call themselves in the Republican Party,” he began, “I am one inch away from leaving you; and I’ll bet I speak for hundreds of thousands of people. One inch.” He continued to include allegations against GOP leaders he believes are more interested in their own political careers than the best interest of those who elected them. “You think this is a joke?” he asked. “You think you can lie to the American people?

He said they go “on and on about an imperial president, on and on about how he’s undermining the Constitution” but “can’t even vote on a point of order challenging him because you’re a bunch of children.” Meanwhile, he asserted, truly principled conservative senators like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are lambasted by the GOP leaders on the receiving end of his philippic. As for the argument that the recently passed continuing resolution was needed to avoid a government shutdown, Levin put that contention in perspective by using his former boss, Ronald Reagan, as an example. “I worked for a president who shut down the d–n government over a half a dozen times,” he said. “It’s not the end of the world and it wasn’t the end of the world last year. Our Constitution is in tatters … and you just voted, many of you, to rubber stamp what Obama did Read more at westernjournalism/radio-host-mark-levin-blasts-gop-leaders-selling-conservatives/#AU1Pd7jwUEGC4ifj.99
