'Swamp isn't being drained': Far-right MAGA fan slams Trump

President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" — which narrowly passed in the U.S. House of Representatives in a 215-214 vote and is now being hotly debated in the U.S. Senate — is drawing intense criticism from both the left and the right, albeit for different reasons.

Many Democrats vehemently oppose the bill's draconian cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), but Elon Musk and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) believe the cuts don't go far enough.

In a Tuesday, June 3 post on X, formerly Twitter, Elon Musk — who owns the platform — wrote, "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."

Trump is threatening GOP opponents of his megabill with primary challenges, and many other things can also inspire him to do that.

In an op-ed published on June 2, however, The Blaze's Daniel Horowitz — a far-right MAGA supporter — accuses Trump of endorsing too many "RINOs" (Republicans in Name Only).

"Some defenders claim Trump backs incumbents to push his agenda," Horowitz argues. "That theory falls apart when so many of those same RINOs openly sabotage it. Take Reps. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) and Jen Kiggans (R-Va.). Both received Trump's endorsement while actively working against his legislative priorities — pushing green energy subsidies and obsessing over tax breaks for their donor class. These aren't minor policy differences. These are full-spectrum RINO betrayals."

Horowitz continues, "Trump wouldn't dare endorse Chip Roy (R-Texas) for dissenting from the right, so why give cover to Republicans who consistently undermine his mandate from the left? And don't chalk this up to political necessity in purple districts. Trump routinely gives away the farm in safe red states, too…. After Trump endorsed Mississippi's other swamp creature, (Sen.) Roger Wicker, against a MAGA primary challenger in 2024, Wicker walked into the chairmanship of the Armed Services Committee — and now he's stalling cuts to USAID."

Horowitz also criticizes Trump for endorsing "classic McCain Republican" and "known RINO" Karrin Taylor Robson in Arizona's gubernatorial race.

"At some point," Horowitz writes, "conservatives must face the hard truth: The swamp isn't being drained. It's getting refilled — with Trump’s help…. Ten years into the MAGA movement, grassroots candidates still can't gain traction — and Trump's endorsements are a big part of the problem. Instead of amplifying insurgent conservatives, Trump often plays air support for entrenched incumbents. He clears the field early, blasting apart any challenge before it forms."
