JUST IN: Another Democrat Lawmaker Announces Switch To Republican Party

Democrats have been in the doldrums since November’s election, struggling to find a coherent voice of opposition to the various policies being enacted by the Trump administration.

As a result, the party’s popularity continues to plummet.

Democrats have a 21% approval rating, per CNN.

That’s with the all of the establishment media, academia, Hollywood, and nearly every major institution in the U.S. pushing their talking points.

And it’s not just rank-and-file voters who are fed up, as evidenced by the latest in a string of Democratic lawmakers who have switched their long-held political allegiance to the party.

According to The Hill:

A long-time member of the Kentucky General Assembly said she’s switching political parties.

State Senator Robin Webb of Grayson in Carter County is now a registered Republican.

Webb has served in the legislature since 1999 and has been in the Senate since 2009 — all as a Democrat.

But she told FOX 56 News on Friday that she’s been considering changing parties for the last couple of years.

Here are a few similar examples of such announcements from across the U.S. in recent years:

The Daily Mail also reported on Webb’s decision:

Webb felt increasingly disconnected from the Democratic Party and could no longer stomach its ‘lurch to the left.’

‘It has become untenable and counterproductive to the best interests of my constituents for me to remain a Democrat,’ Webb said.

‘I will continue to be a fearless advocate for rural Kentucky and for the residents of eastern Kentucky who have been so good to me and my family.’

The departure of Webb, who represents a four-county district, is more than symbolic: it underscores the near-total GOP takeover of Kentucky’s rural political map.
