Conservative congressman and Trump ally Rep. Steve King (R-IA) urged the President on Sunday to “purge Leftists” from his administration before they “sink us.”
On his Twitter account, King made the recommendation while posting a story from Conservative Review’s Daniel Horowitz.
@RealDonaldTrump needs to purge Leftists from executive branch before disloyal, illegal & treasonist acts sink us. https://t.co/o1DYtgA7aL

In his article, Horowitz wrote that there had been “a silent coup within the intelligence agencies” against Trump, and he argued for a wholesale firing of political appointees who don’t “share the views of the president.”
“Any open borders official within DOJ and DHS should be gone,” he wrote. “Any pro-government-run health care supporter within HHS has to go. Any official within Treasury who is not on board with the OMB spending cuts and pro-growth tax cuts should go out and campaign for their cause … on the outside. Any State Department official who is a shill for refugee resettlement, a Palestinian State, the Muslim Brotherhood, or who opposes the president’s immigration moratorium must go.”
Excellent idea if he’d nominate anyone to fill these positions he should purge.
How about we purge Steve King and his delusional ilk and save the country?
“Purge” is such a nice Stalinist term and more than appropriate for this Administration. Now we wait for the show trials and gulags.
Of course, if anyone really was acting in an “illegal” or “treasonous” manner, then it should be trivially easy to call that out and prosecute them, right?
