A former Republican lawmaker announced this week he has officially joined the Democrat Party.
Joe Walsh announced that after five years as an independent after his exit from the GOP he has realigned himself with the flailing Democrat Party.
Walsh announced his formal affiliation with the Democratic Party in a Tuesday Substack post, saying he made the decision because he views the Republican Party as a threat to democracy and the rule of law and thinks defeating the GOP requires “a broad coalition of moderates, progressives, and, yes, even conservatives.”
“Three words I never thought I’d ever utter: I’m a Democrat. This former Republican Congressman, former Republican candidate for President, this former TEA Party champion is formally joining the Democratic Party. The stakes are simply too high to NOT become a Democrat,” Walsh wrote in his Substack post, before outlining his reasoning.
“Let’s start with the obvious—a tyrant sits in the White House. The very thing our Founders feared most is here. Throw in the fact that one of our two major political parties is a real and direct threat to democracy and the rule of law. These are unprecedented, dangerous times in America. I know it. You know it. There are even Republicans who know it,” he continued.
Walsh challenged Trump for the GOP nomination in the 2020 presidential race but dropped out after performing poorly in the Iowa caucuses.
In his Substack post, Walsh said that Trump critics who are holding out hope for a third party are misguided.
“There isn’t a third party coming to the rescue any time soon,” he continued. “Right now, the Democratic Party is democracy’s lone defender and best hope.”
Walsh acknowledged some issues with the Democratic Party but said “for democracy and the rule of law to persevere, Democrats must succeed” — which necessitates becoming a “big tent” party and learning how to fight against Trump’s GOP.
“Take it from a former Republican fighter,” he wrote. “Republicans fight to the death to win politically, and they’ve always believed Democrats won’t. I’ve been a fighter my whole life, and if there’s ever been a moment when Americans are crying out for a Democratic Party with some fight, it’s now.”
He added: “And look, here’s the thing. We’re gonna need a HUGE tent to defeat this Republican Party. … We’re gonna need a Democratic tent big enough to hold both a conservative like Joe Walsh and a progressive like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. I want to help build that big tent because I want to win, and … Trump’s Republican Party must lose.”
The party switch comes around the same time President Biden’s former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced her decision to become an independent.
Jean-Pierre, who served as former President Joe Biden’s press secretary for more than two years, revealed this week she is leaving the Democratic Party and releasing a memoir titled Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines. The book promises a scathing assessment of Biden’s final years in office, detailing what she calls “the betrayal by the Democratic Party” that led to his aborted reelection bid.

This guy is mentally ill.
Seriously.
Joe Walsh has joined the party of stupid so-called personal pronouns that believes men can get pregnant, does not know what a woman is, thinks going Woke can’t get you broke and that it is okay that male mediocre at sports losers can “identify” as female in order to show off male genitalia in female locker rooms while shattering dreams by ruining women’s sports and will accuse of anyone who disagrees with any of this insanity is a racist.
You can bet that Democrats have been fawning over him behind the scenes. “You gotta help us! We gotta save Democracy ! You’re just the guy to do it! Republican voters rejected you, but our heroes Kammie and Timmie will put you over the top!”
Joe Walsh is so narcissistic, selfish and desperate to Run for President that he is so dishonest, anti-American and obtuse pushing his phony argument: ““Right now, the Democratic Party is democracy’s lone defender and best hope.” when the EXACT OPPOSITE is True!
The Democrats consistently project and lie about Trump and the GOP — The Democrat Party and the DNC are indeed Undemocratic pushing Socialism (Marxism) Ignoring the will of the people and our Constitution, Preamble and Bill of Rights to gain full control by establishing One-Party Rule and Destabilization of our country — Better known as the OPPOSITE of “Democracy or a Republic — Tyranny, .
