Let’s face it, RINOs need to be defeated just as badly as Democrats. That should be considered a pick up just like defeating a Democrat, but it is even easier since for the most part RINOs are in a primarily Republican area. Charlie Kirk Turning Point USA founder and fervent supporter of President Trump and the MAGA agenda names RINOs who need to be tossed out on their a@@es. Kirk points out that RINOs make up a large portion of those trying to place roadblocks on the Trump agenda.
Kirk, 31, sat down with The Daily Wire at Turning Point USA’s America Fest in Phoenix, Arizona, where he listed those RINOs that need to go.
Kirk said:
“I find it very perplexing that Joe Biden gets all of his nominees and Republicans are happy to vote for many of them. Some Republicans give a harder time to Donald Trump’s nominees than Joe Biden’s nominees. There are Republicans that voted for Merrick Garland. There are Republicans that voted for [Alejandro] Mayorkas. There’s Republicans that voted for Lloyd Austin. No questions. And yet when it comes to Donald Trump’s nominees, it’s like the most challenging thing.”
“We’re gonna find Republican senators that have the following criteria. Number one, they’re in deep, deep, deep red states. So if we were to replace them, there will not be a general election issue, right? So we don’t want to try to go after someone like Thom Tillis, who I’m not a huge fan of, who might be in a razor thin race in North Carolina which would lose us a senate seat.”
“Number two, we’re gonna find people that have a repeated pattern of not listening to the will of their voters on very core issues that matter to them, border, immigration, foreign aid, size and scope of government, and then of course, whether or not they voted for Trump’s impeachment and also Trump’s cabinet. And the final thing is this: we want to try to create, not a lesson, but I guess that’s one way to say it, where senators get out of line, they will be removed.”

He’s trying to play like he’s some sort of, you know, friend of Donald Trump now. He’s got to go. He has routinely been the biggest supporter of sending money to Ukraine despite our border being wide open, which is not popular with the voters of Louisiana. So he’s on the top of the list.”
Cassidy, who has met with a number of Trump nominees in recent weeks, including Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel, met with Trump in June 2024 and issued a statement at the time promising to work with Trump if he became the next president. In a a Saturday statement to The Daily Wire, a spokesman for the senator said, “Senator Cassidy continues to work for the state of Louisiana and for the United States. He looks forward to working with President Trump so that our country does great again over the next four years. This is what Louisiana voters care about.”
But not all the senators that have found themselves on the other side of the conservative base meet Krik’s criteria. Kirk and others are unhappy with Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa for her recent behavior towards Trump nominee Pete Hegseth, but she doesn’t fully meet their criteria for the primary list, particularly since she’s going to be in a competitive race.
“And here’s how it would work,” he noted, “if we were to remove Joni Ernst, the National Republican Senate groups would be like, ‘Oh, your fault.’ They would rather make an example out of us try to make an example out of Joni Ernst. So we’re trying to be wiser than that.”
The Turning Point founder also mentioned Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota, James Risch in Idaho, and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, who is part of leadership.
“There needs to be consequences when you don’t listen to the will of the voters,” Kirk said. “So we’ll see how they vote for the cabinet. That will definitely play into this.”
“Bill Cassidy, there’s nothing he can do at this point,” he added. “He voted to impeach Donald Trump, of which we believe you need to be retired.”
Rounds and Capito did not respond to requests for comment, but a spokesman for Risch told The Daily Wire: “Senator Risch will vote to confirm President Trump’s nominees, just as he did during President Trump’s previous term.”
