An office complex on the west side of San Antonio is the new address for the newly formed MAGA Patriot Party National Committee, reports Fox7Austin.
Paperwork for the new party was filed this past week with the Federal Elections Commission. James Davis, who lives near Tampa Bay, Florida, is listed as its Custodian of Records, Treasurer, and Designated Agent.
The move signals dissatisfaction with the mainstream leaders of the Republican Party, and they're discomfort with former Pres. Trump's frequent bombastic style and rhetoric.
Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa said the Republican Party had created a monster in Donald Trump and could no longer control their base, which has been "radicalized."
“As they continue to lose their base to a radicalized and false ideology, they are finding out the hard way that there is a consequence for selling your soul to a snake oil salesman in exchange for temporary power.”
The San Antonio Express-News reports that a spokesman for former President Donald Trump has disavowed any connection with the MAGA Patriot Party, which listed Trump's political action committee as a beneficiary of its fundraising in its FEC filing.
“We are not supportive of this effort, have nothing to do with it and only know about it through public reporting," said Jason Miller.
Trump has frequently discussed starting a "Patriot Party" to advance his agenda. But despite one starting in Georgia and this effort in Florida and Texas oh, he has not started such an organization or endorsed an existing one.
