fealty

For some, that brand of fealty is in line with Trump’s choice for his secretary of Defense: conservative Fox News personality and military combat veteran Pete Hegseth.

Meanwhile, Trump fumed – blaming the Republican shortcomings on the party’s support of unpopular abortion restrictions and insufficient fealty to his own brand of conservative populism.

He shows fealty to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and says Jews who don’t vote for him hate their religion, hate Israel and “should have their head examined.”

The announcement of Harris' interview comes as the Democratic candidate for president faces criticism for a seeming lack of fealty toward traditional media outlets.

And what room is left in the Republican Party for someone pledging less than 100% fealty to Trump and rejecting his orthodoxy on issues such as green energy and election denial?
