The former head of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Christopher Krebs, said that the Republican Party was in a “death spiral” owing to its allegiance to former President Donald Trump.
Mr Krebs, who famously contradicted Mr Trump’s claims about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election before being terminated from his post last year, is a self-described lifelong member of the GOP. On Sunday, he spoke with CBS’s Face the Nation about his party and the former president’s ongoing efforts to sow distrust about US voting systems.
“This is a death spiral. They’ve lost control, and they don’t know how to rein it back in,” said Mr Krebs.
“I mean, it’s captured by the base, right?” he added of the party. GOP leader, Mr Krebs said, are “afraid to speak up, because they’re afraid the former president is gonna try to primary them. And the other piece is they’ve activated and lost control of their voting base. The people that’ve put them in power.”
While under the leadership of Mr Krebs in the days following the 2020 election, CISA released a statement refuting many of Mr Trump’s claims about the security of US voting systems and declared: “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.”

The GOP is in a death spiral?? Why would this be a bad thing??
The GOP has done nothing but spit in the faces of conservatives the past 15 years...
I would trust Maynard G Krebs over this clown.
If there are not enough of us we’re in trouble. He lost the suburban housewife. They seem to enjoy being lied to by the B.J.’s and the Kenyan. It is what it is. Can he lighten up in the wake of Biden’s failures? It will take a lot of teachable moments that are sure to come up. Is the GOP smart enough? Notice I refer to the GOP-not US.
If Murkowski gets the nomination we’ll have to support her and hopefully keep her in her box. Cheney? We can vote for the rat. More leeway in the house.
“Nobody’s going to vote for Trump, he’s too popular.” ~ Some faggot named Krebs.
It was/IS about US.
We the people.
And President Trump still leads us.
Do we have adults with a mind of their own? Do we have adults who can think for themselves... research if they have to...find the truth.. and go with it..
What is wrong with people out here... they listen to the news? they hear other gripers talk and go with it? what is wrong with thinking for themselves... independent of anyone else’s opinions?
why in the world would any republican turn away from Trump when he had everything going in the right direction... closed the border.. taking care of us and the country...
I am so tired of the elite that put everything in the world before this nation!! common sense is gone! no one has any sense at all if on the fence or on the other side...
we are losing this nation.. we are losing the government... it is gone... just taken over and no one stopped them.
corruption is in everything... If they cheat one more election, we will be living under a dictatorship.. and obama will be smiling all the way back to the seat of power...
i can rant all day and nothing changes.. I am too old to go to war... it never has been this bad in all the years I’ve lived!
Indeed the my turn game is up in smoke Biden Harris duping has changed many things.
No worries, the official GOP who I left behind is actually a wing of the UniParty. I would not ever contribute any money to the GOP. They have crossed over to the elite evil global world control.
No, we do NOT have to support Assistant Democrats like Murkowski.
It’s that kind of thinking that got us into the hole we are in.
It appears that Death is on the menu, now.
I’ll have what Trump is having, please.
Chrissy’s little panties are in a twist.
If the GOPe is in a death spiral, then as Martha Stuart might say: “it’s a good thing”!
The future is the GOPT!
No thanks.
“I mean, it’s captured by the base, right?”
Oh, no! The peasants have taken over the party. Next thing you know they might get similar crazy ideas in their head like "government of the people, by the people, for the people". And that must not be allowed to happen.
“I’m sure 74 million Americans disagree with this guys opinion.”
At least but don’t forget the Trump votes which were stolen and/or destroyed.
Hey Chrissy, things were better under Trump. So much better that YOUR party had to release a covid bomb and CHEAT to produce a demented puppet for president!
Now we have a BOTCHED regime screwing everything and everyone!
I know that naming the new party "Trumplican" is stupid because we want the new party to survive Trump. I would prefer sumthin like America First Social Conservative Party.
