Views on Republicans[edit]

McMullin on numerous occasions, including February, 2021, has claimed, such as on MSNBC with O'Donnell, that the Republican party is 'rotten to the core'. https://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word/watch/evan-mcmullin-the-republican-party-is-rotten-to-the-core-100901445667 96.43.243.46 (talk) 02:12, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to add this if you can find a better source than opinion talk shows. Andre🚐 02:33, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Right, because NBC, ABC, CNN, and Fox are never used as sources :) Also, given that McMullin releases most of his claims/pronouncements on TV shows and Twitter, you're running game to hide most of his statements. 96.43.243.46 (talk) 02:04, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The opinion talk shows aren't used, but articles from those sources are usable. They might be usable for his direct interview statements, but not if they are taken out of context. Andre🚐 02:07, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
