Quote:MSNBC’s Joy Reid, joined by her colleague Nicolle Wallace, called for the de-Baathification and scouring of the current Republican Party following four years of leadership under President Donald Trump.

“I wonder if you have thought through kind of how Republicans begin what someone on my team earlier today called de-Baathification of the Republican Party?” Reid asked Wallace on Wednesday night, likening the GOP to Iraq’s Ba’ath Party and suggesting Republican influence and ideology needs to be eradicated from American society the same way Iraq sought to remove the Ba’ath Party influence from its own politics.

During de-Baathification in 2003, the Coalition Provisional Authority of Iraq ordered that all public-sector workers associated with the party were to be stripped of their jobs and banned from future public-sector employment. That transition government also offered rewards for information leading to “the capture of senior members of the Baath party and individuals complicit in the crimes of the former regime.”

Reid also questioned the role of NeverTrumper Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., in the future of a GOP scrubbed of Trump’s influence and supporters, celebrating the representative’s letter calling for Trump’s impeachment.

“I wonder if Liz Cheney, her statement being the thing that Republicans used — the Democrats used, sorry — to explain why they needed to impeach Donald Trump, is there a little wing of the Republican Party that you think can do this sort of de-Baathification of the party? And can it work at this point?” Reid asked.

Wallace agreed, echoing Reid’s points about Cheney and saying the Republican Party needs to be reevaluated because it is “top to the bottom corrupted by Trumpism.”

“I think the challenge is that the rot is from the grassroots all the way to the presidency. So the rot is at every layer,” Wallace said. “You can call it rot because it’s now criminal sedition. But there are people that supported it from the grassroots all the way up through to the White House.”

“What became clear to me today is that whatever party Mitch McConnell and Liz Cheney think they’re in, it isn’t the same party that Don Jr.’s going to run under. So I think you see the beginning of the end of one banner flying over Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. That banner will not be the name of the party that describes both of them years from today,” Wallace concluded.

The left have already built databases on all Trump supporters, so it's only a matter of time before they starts rounding people up.

That worked so well in Iraq. So much healing underway in Washington. The is why Democrats cant stay in power. They are actually power hungry totalitarians. They cant help themselves.

This coming from a fan of the guy whose loyalists just attempted to violently stop the transfer of power to a new administration.

Healing? What about unity? Why can't we call get along, you stupid, misogynistic, xenophobic, Nazi, white supremacist? Did I miss any other "terms of endearment" that the tolerant left calls us now?

A 10 year project at least. I don't see an answer at the moment for mending this divide.

Democrats need to stop with the hate politics to start. As much as Trump was called a racist, Biden is actually showing why he IS a racist by putting blacks and women "equally" ahead of everyone else. Democrats need to also quit calling everyone they disagree with a Nazi, racist, xenophobe, homophobe, or white supremacist. But, while the "white guilt" media loves it and is lapping it up, it's ratcheting tensions up to a whole new level.

In reaction to a group raving socialist lunatics who committed overt election fraud.

Did you complain just as loudly when Antifa, supported by the Dem leaders, took over cities, burned down buildings, assailed federal buildings, looted businesses, and killed people? All summer.

It's funny how a fraction of people that were present marching into the building now equates to every supporter trying to "violently top the transfer of power." I'm not sure if the poster that said that is a real drama queen or truly does believe that.

How about all you prog filth that are feeling skrong right now GFY.

When it comes to the unity nonsense, I have one word. To quote General Anthony McAuliffe, "Nuts".

This.

I’m done with being called names and vilified for espousing equality of opportunity for all and conservative principals.

I have never in my life been strongly political, but I will never, ever vote for anyone on the left - won’t listen to anything they have to say, will work against against them to my last breath.

For me, the divide will never be healed.

lol....Well, virtually every responsible republican and Trump voter is absolutely against the Capital riot. However, when "the people" are storming your capital building, its generally a sign your not doing the whole Democracy thing particularly well. Maybe taking a deep dive into the election results with a bipartisan commission might be a good idea to get everyone on the same page and restore total confidence in the process. Lord knows, ignoring questions, suppressing opinions, and trying to run out the clock sure doesnt seem to be working.

lol....Whenever "the people" storming the capital is an issue, its a sign your not doing the whole Democracy very well.

The Biden* occupation has begun.

Stop being racist, xenophobic, homophobic, sexist, etc. (not you), maybe that would help?
