Notorious RINO Blake Ashby of Missouri has officially switched sides, announcing in a video on social media that he is now a registered Democrat and generating a wave of backlash from conservatives, who mocked the former Republican congressman for his decision, which he described as a reaction to the Trump Administration.

For context, in a video shared on April 27, 2025, Rep. Blake Ashby (D-MO) explained that he had decided to officially register as a Democrat, acknowledging the party’s challenges but arguing that moving to the left was worthwhile due to his grievances with the Trump Administration. In his video, Rep. Ashby described the Republican Party as an “intellectual disaster” and said that he was “all in” and would do anything he could to help Democrats reclaim the House of Representatives.
