No BBQ for you!
RINOs was made popular by (still) President Donald J. Trump? I first heard it in 1979...Was this moron been living under a rock?
UVM makes Cal-Berkley looks Conservative...🤓
Thanks for posting the reality re RINO's:
Sorry, but the term had been in common usage among true conservatives, going back long before PDJT entered politics. I know that Bob Dole, J. McCain, Susan Collins, M. Romney, Bill Weld, Arlen Specter and a host of others have been called RINOs going back at least 25 years.
"“Republican In Name Only,” has been made popular by former President Donald Trump, who evokes it to attack members of his own party who are critical of him."
Huh? RINO has been around for at least two decades. Fox17 should have this Aaron character arrested for loitering.

I have a slightly different point to address. The author and editors are using this 'Rino' designator as a way to slam our President Trump personally.
They know full well that the term Rino is used by conservatives to define the liberal, Benidict Arnold types within the Republican Party. But the media slimes are trying to say that President Trump is using it only against those who don't like him. When in reality he is using it to distinguish true conservatives from the anti- conservatives within the Republican Party.
President Trump is using the term consistently, and in exactly the same way, as his fellow Republicans do; not as some attack against him personally. It's just another intentional smear tactic used by the left, which includes the Rino's from within.
“Sorry, but the term had been in common usage among true conservatives, going back long before PDJT entered politics.”
True, but Trump has introduced the term to the 80% of Republican voters, and that is a huge deal.
Yes, he exposed more of them than a spy cam in a locker room. And yes, it is a big deal.
