‘A real fracture’: GOP insider highlights ‘underappreciated’ feud in MAGA Republican party
A GOP strategist on Sunday flagged what he says is an "underappreciated fracture" among MAGA Republicans.
Brendan Buck, a former key adviser to ex-House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), appeared on MSNBC over the weekend, and was asked about a recent "contentious cabinet meeting" involving Donald Trump appointee and richest man in the world Elon Musk.
The host asked Buck, "Can all sides coexist?"

Buck replied that the dispute between Musk and Steve Bannon is "an underappreciated fracture in the current GOP."
"Look, Steve Bannon has been a foot soldier for Donald Trump. He went to jail for Donald Trump for a really long time. And I think he is understandably, deeply skeptical of Elon Musk, who, you know, was not even really a close ally of Donald Trump the first time around and sort of came out of nowhere and has really stolen the spotlight," Buck said. "Let's remember, Steve Bannon was a close advisor in the White House the first time around and I think he has real questions about what Elon Musk is up to."
Buck added, "We know that that Trumpism is sort of anti-immigrant nationalist and it's not clear that Elon Musk shares any of those views."
"Now, Donald trump needs both of those people. I think he likes what Elon Musk is doing," he said. "But if Steve Bannon keeps railing against him, I think that there's a real fracture that could happen here because Steve Bannon has been through this. He has the real, you know, credibility with the MAGA movement. So unless these two get on the same page, I expect trump's going to have to keep intervening."
