GOP Bickers Over Europe Conference Crumbs

South Carolina Republicans waste ammo on a Mississippi senator instead of torching Democrat obstruction to Trump's defense buildup.

Rep. Joe Wilson rallied the full South Carolina House crew to demand Charleston host the 2027 U.S.-Europe security conference, directly challenging Sen. Roger Wicker’s Mississippi-first veto. The letter to Speaker Mike Johnson exposes the usual red-state turf war while Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer quietly stall actual border and NATO funding votes that matter to national security. Wilson’s delegation frames the push as economic wins for Charleston, yet both sides ignore how Democrats have spent years inflating European aid without reciprocal burden-sharing or results. Wicker’s opposition stems from parochial base politics, not principle, handing media cycles to the same left that mocks “America First” while demanding endless U.S. dollars abroad. Every minute spent on venue spreadsheets is a minute Democrats use to regroup after 2024 losses and plot new lawfare against the administration’s agenda.

This sideshow repeats the same error conservatives made for decades: infighting over scraps while the real enemy advances on spending, sovereignty, and institutions.

Shut your suck hole, Wicker.

Satire. But you knew that.
