Trump 'Consumed by Spite,' Says GOP's Tom Rice After Ex-President's Attacks
NewsweekMAR 26 2022
Tom Rice is a grandstanding Republican-in-Name-Only (RINO) who committed political suicide when he decided to team up with the Democrats to betray the Republican Party by voting to impeach Trump.
Rice took a brave stance and chose country over party when he cast a vote to impeach the disgraced former president for his lies about election fraud and his efforts to incite an insurrection to retain power. Perversely, that kind of courage is grounds for disqualification in today's GOP.
Trump's rhetoric against Rice and another SC contender, Nancy Mace, may potentially backfire and challenge Trump as the "Big Daddy" of Republican politics. Rice and Mace may still win in SC as Democrats and independents are allowed to vote in the state's primaries. With the help of these Democratic interlopers, Trump's reputation could take a bruising.
