Republicans frustrated with Trump could lead to ‘civil war’: Bob Cusack

Published September 17, 2026 9:58am ET




Washington Examiner executive editor Bob Cusack said Republicans are growing frustrated with President Donald Trump and have kept quiet about it.

“We all know the Republicans have bitten their tongue with Trump, but if this election keeps going like this, and it’s looking like it’s going to be a bloodbath, there’s going to be a civil war in the Republican Party at the election,” Cusack said on CNN’s Laura Coates Live on Wednesday.
