Trump Is Back in the 'Political Arena,' Says Sebastian Gorka

Former President Donald Trump is "back in the political arena" after going silent following Jan. 20, said his former political adviser, Sebastian Gorka.

In an interview with Fox News, Gorka remarked that following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, he believed Trump would disappear for months. "This man has to disappear for a while ... before he can get back in  politics," Gorka said. "But that all changed" when he was impeached in  the House for allegedly inciting violence on Jan. 6, he added. The impeachment, Gorka asserted, allowed Trump to move "back into the political arena" sooner. He cited the establishment of Trump's "Office of the 45th President,"  his first political endorsement of Sarah Sanders for Arkansas governor, held interviews with media outlets about the passing of radio host Rush Limbaugh last week, and the move to speak at Conservative Political Action Conference over the weekend. Trump is slated to deliver a  speech on Sunday, Feb. 28. "Donald Trump is back and is the de facto conservative kingmaker," he  proclaimed, without elaborating on the former president's next moves or  whether he will run for office in 2024. "None of the rising stars in the conservative movement" can generate the same interest as Trump, he argued.

According to a slew of recent polls, Republican voters view Trump  quite favorably. Some polls have found that a significant number of GOP  voters would be willing to join a Trump-backed political party if he  breaks off from the Republican establishment.  Meanwhile, Republican members of Congress who voted to impeach,  convict, or took other actions against Trump in recent weeks have been  censured or condemned by local Republican Party groups. About a week ago, the former president issued a statement that  strongly criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.),  calling on him to rescind his leadership position while saying that  Republicans won't take majorities in the Senate under his leadership. It  came after McConnell suggested in an opinion piece for the Wall Street  Journal that Trump could face criminal prosecution for his Jan. 6  speech. Read more ...
