The gloves are coming off in the Senate as Republicans prepare for an all-out brawl to pass President Trump's landmark SAVE America Act, with conservative insiders warning that GOP senators need to "make this a fistfight" against Democrat resistance and Deep State sabotage.
Former Senate staffer and conservative strategist Rachel Bovard delivered the stark message that has patriots across America nodding in agreement: it's time for Republicans to stop playing nice with the very forces trying to destroy our nation's sovereignty.
"The Senate is at least talking, and that's a March Madness miracle in and of itself," Bovard told The Federalist, highlighting just how broken Washington's swamp creatures have made the legislative process.
"Republicans need to understand that Democrats and their Deep State allies aren't going to roll over and let Trump secure our borders and deport criminal illegals without a fight. If the GOP wants to deliver on the mandate the American people gave them, they need to make this a fistfight."
The SAVE America Act represents the centerpiece of Trump's second-term immigration agenda, providing the legal framework for the massive deportation operation that voters demanded when they returned him to the White House. But as expected, the same establishment forces that spent four years trying to sabotage Trump's first presidency are mobilizing to kill his immigration reforms.
No More Mr. Nice Guy
Bovard's message cuts to the heart of conservative frustration with weak-kneed Republicans who think they can compromise with Democrats hell-bent on flooding America with illegal aliens. The time for genteel Senate traditions is over when the very survival of our constitutional republic is at stake.
With Trump's deportation machinery already revving up under Secretary Kristi Noem's leadership at Homeland Security, Senate Republicans face a simple choice: fight like their country depends on it, or watch the swamp creatures kill the mandate that 75 million Americans voted for.
The question isn't whether Democrats will fight dirty – they always do. The question is whether Senate Republicans finally have the backbone to fight back and deliver for the American people who sent them there.
