Key Points
- Donald Trump slapped the GOP governor with the “RINO” moniker following the Senate District 2 primary
- Incumbent Sen. Jon Lundberg, who carried Lee’s school voucher bill, lost to Bobby Harshbarger

BY ANDY SHER, Tennessee Journal, August 7, 2024- Republican Gov. Bill Lee confessed Wednesday to being flummoxed by Donald Trump labeling him as a “RINO,” the acronym for Republican in Name Only, last week on the former president’s social media site Truth Social. “I can't really explain what that was about,” Lee told reporters Wednesday following an event where he spoke to the Department of Environment and Conservation and advocacy groups.

Rod's Comment: I can help Gov. Lee out on this one. It is because now it is the Republican Party that is Republican in name only. Former standard bearers such as Mitt Romney, John McCain, both George Bushes, and Ronald Reagan would all be considered RINO's now. The Republican Party is now the Trump Party. The modern Trump era Republican Party is the party of the Trump cult. Even if you kiss his ass, if you are not Trumpy enough the Cult of Trump will label you a RINO. Wear it as a badge of honor!
