The Party of Abraham Lincoln Must Make History by Electing Byron Donalds as the ‘First Black Speaker’
Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution states: “The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers…”
There has been a total of 55 Representatives have served as Speaker. None have been black!
The Speaker of the House is by law second in line to succeed the President, after the Vice President, and 25th Amendment makes the Speaker a part of the process announcing presidential disability.
It is time for the Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, to nominate a black member of Congress to be the 56th Speaker.
It was Abraham Lincoln who freed the slaves, it must be the Republican Party that puts a black man as second in line to succeed the President of the United States.
It is time to nominate and elect Byron Donalds to become the Speaker!

WOULD YOU SUPPORT BYRON DONALDS FOR SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE? pic.twitter.com/zmhyzPOBLT

Dr. Rich, I love you to death, but I do not want a speaker who is working with the Democrats for digital currency. Here’s what I know about him:
While out running errands, I flipped the radio on and heard Ukraine supporting Faux News commentator, Dan Bongino, lauding Florida’s District 19 Congressman, Byron Donalds as a choice for House Speaker.
One of my friends likes Bongino claiming he’s a street fighter, but Dan toes the Faux News neo-con line. He really missed it with Donalds. I know, I know…none of them are perfect; even Rush thought globalist CIA, CFR and Skull and Bones man, William F. Buckley was a staunch conservative. But Bongino should know better before he lauds someone who is not just pushing a Constitutional Convention like Chip Roy who nominated him, but Donalds has even signed the pledge for term limits which is one of the Convention of States’ ploys to open the entire Constitution.
Bongino always calls us a representative democracy which infuriates those of us who know what we were founded as, a Representative Republic.
Once again, here’s what our founders thought of a democracy:
Our founders knew that in its pure form democracy is ultimately dangerous. The writings and sermons from our founding era are replete with warnings of this fact:
Alexander Hamilton wrote, “If we incline too much to democracy we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of a dictatorship.”
Thomas Jefferson lamented that “a democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49.”
James Madison argued that democracies “have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
John Adams concluded that democracy “never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”
Yet, Joseph Biden and his comrades all call us a democracy, and the same goes for nearly all but a handful of republicans, and that includes street fighter, Dan Bongino.
I wonder if it matters to Bongino that his friend, Donalds, has been working with the Democrats to advance digital currency this summer. At the Collier County Republican Men’s breakfast in July of 2022, Byron Donalds said, “The Democrats have promised it will never be used for tracking law abiding citizens.” In October of 2022, at Alfie Oakes’ Seed to Table, another public meeting was held where Donalds again was promoting digital currency. Alfie Oakes is also promoting the destruction of our 1787 Constitution by advocating an Article V Constitutional Convention, just like Byron Donalds, Chip Roy, Ron DeSantis and so many others.
Donalds is also tied to Americans for Prosperity, a Koch brother organization. The Koch brother organizations are for open borders, gay marriage, abortion and UN Agenda 21/30. Link, Link. They are also funding the furthering of a new constitutional convention…just like Soros’ Open Society foundations.
There’s more. A few years ago, Byron’s wife allegedly tried to do a hostile takeover of Mason Classical Academy. There’s a lot of bitterness in the community because they wanted to run the charter school, Mason Classical Academy, which has one of the top ratings in the country. They did not conceive the charter school, but had, at one time, been on the board. Kelly Lichter and her husband Nick were the founders. As a state representative, Byron tried to write bills to make it easier for his wife to accomplish the takeover.
At a Republican Executive Committee meeting a few months ago, Donalds and his top staff member, Larry Wilcoxson, tried to start a public argument and disagreement with Kelly Lichter. They were backing her leftist opponent. Tensions boiled to such a point that Florida Politics reported it. A video lasting two minutes and 19 seconds mostly shows Donalds, with staffers Jesse Purdon and Larry Wilcoxson, speaking inaudibly with Lichter in a corner of the store.
Larry Wilcoxson allegedly takes home a six-figure salary. He is the top aid to Donalds and is his best friend. Wilcoxson also allegedly has an arrest record, and he apparently started the fight. He was dressed in a campaign tee-shirt for the leftist school board member, and also tried to start an argument with Kelly Lichter’s husband at the same monthly Republican Executive Committee which was attended by Byron. There are witnesses to this confrontation.
Many of the true family grassroots leaders call this man, Wilcoxson, Byron’s thug. Before anyone backs Byron, they need to do their homework.
Research into candidates is very lacking in America’s electorate.
Here is the article this appeared in with links to news articles documenting the claims I made:
https://newswithviews.com/the-dc-district-of-corruption/
I personally interviewed Dan Bongino and he’s a true conservative.
That’s wonderful that you believe Dan is a true conservative, but like Tucker Carlson, he keeps calling us a democracy. Our founders hated democracies…we don’t pledge allegiance to the democracy for which it stands, we pledge allegiance to the Republic for which it stands. And Benjamin Franklin made it clear when a woman asked him what kind of government they had given us when he answered, A REPUBLIC IF YOU CAN KEEP IT. (NOT A DEMOCRACY)
Have you ever met Dan? If not then you can’t judge him.
I am not allowed to judge a man’s words even though I hear him on the radio say what he has said over and over again? I repeated only what he said. That is truth. I was not “judging” him, but exposing what he said that was false.
Dr. Swier…if we cannot judge the presidential candidates unless we’ve met them, then none of us can make a decision, can we!
I hear what he says and most of it I like…but he has said we’re a democracy over and over again and he has said Byron Donalds is wonderful conservative. If so, does that mean that everyone who is promoting a constitutional convention and digital currency a “wonderful conservative?” NOT IN MY BOOK IT DOESNT! THAT IS TREASON!
I would guess Bongino doesn’t know what I know about Byron, and he’s just playing to the audience because Trump took Byron out to lunch.
It is why I become so frustrated, because we must investigate and vet every single person before we vote for them or before we promote them!
So you hate Byron. Why? Because he’s black, has been endorsed by Dan and had lunch with Trump?
Your are very very close to losing my platform and having your account deleted.
Choose. I await your response.

I am in agreement with Kelleigh!!every time I hear Bongino call us a democracy I scream at the radio! Maybe jmit’s because he is ex- SS or worked in DC Too long! We are avREPUBLIC!!either Jim Jordan or Scalise should be the next speaker! They are CONSERVATIVES! Mo more DemoncRATS IN THE SPEAKER SEAT! They aare ALL COMMUNISTS!! Like Pogo cartoom always said “ I have seen the enemy and he is US!” Lets get back under our True Constitution NOW
Dr. Rich, i was somewhat taken aback by your comment, “It is time for the Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, to nominate a black member of Congress to be the 56th Speaker.
It was Abraham Lincoln who freed the slaves, it must be the Republican Party that puts a black man as second in line to succeed the President of the United States.
Perhaps a little more research into the true history of Lincoln would reveal just what a phony he was, the quintessential politician who actually cared little about the slaves but mostly answered to his wealthy the backers in the Northeast, and that leaning actually started the Civil War.
In addition, if the past twenty years has taught us anything, it should be that we must not choose a person for a critical Congressional office based on the color of his skin, but ONLY on his qualification for that position.
.
I’m shocked that you’re a bigot. Don’t send me any more articles. I’m deleting your account.
Dr. Swier, I thank you for your very telling response to my comments. I was sincerely repeating what Dr King himself stated and for that I am deleted. So be it, I have also deleted your account. BTW, you are in my prayers….
Have a great day.
So, Am I getting the headline correctly? Dr. Swier is saying we should elect someone because of the color of their skin? Really??
Didn’t the Supreme Court recently slam this concept with Students V Harvard and UNC victories?

Yep. We need this man as speaker. Not because of the color of his skin but because of the content of his character.
Dr. Rich! He is promoting digital currency with the Democrats, that is proven!
I cannot disagree with you and you’ll eliminate my account, that’s censorship…and I thought you would never do that. I told you the truth about Donalds and you won’t even look at the links supplied in the article I wrote. I think the world of you and you are acting like we cannot disagree. I’m so sorry for that. My goodness, I never expected anything like this from you.
WOW! Dr. Swier. YOU were the first in this comment section to mention that someone was racist saying they were against him because Donalds was black. Skin color, not competence or ability. Then you throw the word Bigot around if someone quotes Dr. King or disagrees with your ‘racist’ comments. You just sealed your death warrant as far as I am concerned as you have shown that you are no conservative nor true American. Therefore, I will beat you to it … You are G O N E as far as I am concerned and I will never read another thing you write from your bigoted platform. BYE! (before you threaten me with expulsion like a dictator would do in a third world country)
Today we have two parties, patriots and traitors. I associate myself with the patriots and I hope they all join together to win in 2024.
