White House Warns Conservative Groups It Is ‘Monitoring’ Their Statements
"As always, we are monitoring statements, press releases, and media engagements from your organizations," a memo, sent to more than 3,000 conservative organizations, said, according to the Wall Street Journal. The White House insisted to the Journal that this kind of language was normal in these memos, but the Journal could not find another example of it.
The shift comes as a flurry of conservative voices, from commentator Matt Walsh, to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, to Vice President JD Vance himself, have lambasted President Trump's policies and decision-making—placing sole blame on him for Republicans' midterm election loss.
