Fox News’ Will Cain went scorched earth on Republicans for not backing President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet choices but instead “handing him losses.”
In social media posts and on-air commentary, the co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Fox News, ripped into GOP lawmakers who are getting in the way of the mandate Americans handed Trump on Election Day.
“How does @realDonaldTrump lead Republicans (who over the previous decade had found new and inventive ways to lose) to an overwhelming win,” Cain wrote in a post on X Thursday. “And the first thing they do is start denying his cabinet picks? They start handing him losses?”
I’m curious. Help me understand something.

Cain specifically called out so-called Republicans such as U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for undermining Trump’s agenda and the directive Americans gave him. He defended Pete Hegseth, his former Fox News colleague, as Trump’s choice to lead the Pentagon and ripped into Republicans who refuse to accept that Americans voted for “disruptors.”
Who elected Senator Joni Ernst & Senator Lindsay Graham President of the United States?

Cain also called out GOP senators during a segment on “Fox & Friends” in which he pointed to three reasons why they would refuse to support Trump.
Watch @WillCain go off in defense of @PeteHegseth against the military industrial complex and corporate media smear campaign that Republican Senators are buying into:

Democrats always fall in line with their leaders and Republicans repeatedly fail to rally behind theirs, even when American voters send a clear message that they want a change in Washington, D.C.

In another post on X, Cain noted how GOP Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney voted in lockstep with Democrats when it came time to confirm Merrick Garland as President Joe Biden’s attorney general.
Let me get this straight. These 14 active Republican Senators voted to confirm MERRICK GARLAND for AG. But have concerns about Hegseth? Says A LOT. Wow. pic.twitter.com/Hs3AHBI8qV

Republicans also helped Alejandro Mayorkas secure his position as Biden’s homeland security secretary.

Cain was not alone in his questions about Republicans.
Rep. Mike Collins noted how Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin got 93 votes when it was time for his confirmation. Austin famously disappeared for days last year without informing his boss he was in the hospital.
In what world should Lloyd Austin get 93 votes for confirmation, and Hegseth not get 50. Step up, Senate GOP.

All but seven Republican Senators voted to confirm Lloyd Austin but have a problem with Hegseth? I think @SenateGOP have a problem. pic.twitter.com/xSRst8uFbE

“What a disgrace. If you’re a GOP Senator who voted for Lloyd Austin, but criticize @PeteHegseth, then maybe you’re in the wrong political party!” Donald Trump Jr. wrote on X.
Social media users joined Cain in his angry reality check of Republicans.
It’s impossible to measure the amount of disdain we have for these feckless, spineless Republicans. We have to replace all of them.

Many Republicans in power hate President Trump and his supporters. They want the old go along, get along Republican party that loses and rolls over to Democrat demands.

Because “Republicans” are the enemy disguised in friendly trappings.
We are sick of this garbage.
MAGA is coming for you, RINOs

You are referring to them as Republicans, they are part of the Uniparty, the very swamp the President Elect promised to drain 8 years ago, if they continue on this path. He needs to start calling them out by name, and back strong primary contender in their State(s).

The republicans have been losers ever since Reagan. Trump gave them a new vision and a way to win but the old guard dies hard.
