On Election Night, Americans rose up against the radical leftist agenda to push our country down a path to socialism and undermine the very values our nation was founded upon.

Yet, there’s one Republican left who still supports the Democrats’ agenda and wants to empower them. Not Liz Cheney—she’s old news.

This one is right here in Texas. Dade Phelan won his primary with Democrat crossover voters.

Now, he plans to be Speaker again, even if it means selling out to all House Democrats and just a few Republicans to reach the 76 votes he needs.

There are now 88 House Republicans.

If he can get 76 of them to vote for him as Speaker, more power to him.

But in light of Tuesday night’s massive rebuke of Democrat policies, if we have a Republican Speaker of the House controlled by Democrats, it would be a slap in the face to the 6.3 million Texans who voted for President Trump and the Make America Great Again agenda.
