Former U.S. Representative Gary Franks, a prominent Republican, highlighted the divisive nature of American politics in a recent article. Franks pointed out actions taken by those who oppose former President Donald Trump, including assassination attempts, impeachment, and other methods to undermine Trump. Franks criticized Democrats for claiming to promote unity while pushing divisive policies such as passing the Affordable Care Act without bipartisan support and changing Senate rules to favor their own party. Franks argued that these actions have eroded bipartisanship in American politics and made it difficult to achieve unity. He highlighted the importance of maintaining bipartisan cooperation and criticized Democrats for attempting to eliminate the filibuster, which he believes is essential for preserving the Republic’s guardrails. Franks cautioned against trusting the rhetoric of Democrats who claim to bring people together while their actions suggest otherwise. The article raises important questions about the current state of American politics and the challenges facing the country in achieving unity and bipartisanship.
