President Donald Trump has received ample pushback over his decision to launch war with Iran from those outside the GOP, but as a growing number of Republicans question its progress, infighting has broken out between increasingly concerned conservatives and diehard MAGA loyalists. According to the New Republic<\/u>, glaring evidence of this GOP infighting came over the weekend in the form of social media sparring between Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and White House advisor Alex Bruesewitz.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran \u2018deal,\u2019\u201d tweeted Cruz. \u201cIf the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime \u2014 still run by Islamists who chant \u2018death to America\u2019 \u2014 now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake.\u201d <\/p>\n

Bruesewitz \u2014 a dedicated MAGA influencer who helps with the administration\u2019s social media meme needs \u2014 jumped in, responding, \u201cCool, Ted. No one asked you, bro. Stop trying to undermine the President and his administration.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHush, child,\u201d Cruz clapped back. \u201cThe adults are talking. I\u2019m not your \u2018bro.\u2019 And young political grifters pushing Iran appeasement are not remotely helping the President.\u201d <\/p>\n

The response from Bruesewitz strayed from the proverbial high road: \u201cSorry you\u2019re still salty that I prevented you from getting a picture with Nicki Minaj after you came running after her like a school girl. You\u2019re going to get wiped out in 2028, clown.\u201d <\/p>\n

That same day, Trump\u2019s former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo received similar treatment after posting that \u201cthe deal being floated with Iran seems straight out of the Wendy Sherman \u2013 Robert Malley \u2013 Ben Rhodes playbook: Pay the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] to build a [weapons of mass destruction] program and terrorize the world. Not remotely America First.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMike Pompeo has no idea what the f\u2013\u2013 he\u2019s talking about,\u201d said White House Communications Director Steven Cheung. \u201cHe should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals. He\u2019s not read into anything that\u2019s happening, so how would he know.\u201d <\/p>\n

Pompeo and Cruz are far from the only Republicans raising concerns about the war and Trump\u2019s negotiations, with GOP leaders<\/u> calling it \u201cdisastrous\u201d and suggesting that it could result in a \u201cperception of weakness.\u201d Even Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) \u2014 who has been frothing at the mouth for war with Iran for decades \u2014 ventured of the latest developments, \u201cIt makes one wonder why the war started to begin with.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of this, asserts the New Republic, is sign of a GOP breakup, and that the \u201cMAGA coalition is sadder and more dysfunctional than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
