On Monday’s Wake Up America, Rep. Andy Biggs didn’t puff and preen — he called out the self-inflicted wounds crippling our movement and warned that our real enemy isn’t the man down the hall, it’s the people across the aisle who are undoing America. Biggs has been a steady voice on Newsmax’s Wake Up America platform, and he used that stage to tell conservatives the hard truth: stop eating yourselves alive and focus on beating the left.
Enough with the purity tests and Twitter pile-ons; Biggs is right to say infighting is a luxury we cannot afford when our freedoms and prosperity are on the line. The headlines this year have been littered with examples of the conservative family turning on itself while the left marches in lockstep, and that disunity hands Democrats an advantage at every turn.
We’ve seen real consequences: procedural rebellions, needless drama in the House, and policy defeats that should never have happened if the right had closed ranks. When members of our own side play media theater instead of passing conservative solutions, the American people suffer and the left gets a free ride.
Biggs didn’t just wag a finger — he reminded viewers what matters: border security, honest fiscal stewardship, and putting patients first on healthcare reform. If conservatives want to win, we need to stop performing purity rituals and start delivering real, measurable wins for everyday Americans on the issues that keep them up at night.
The truth is uncomfortable: the left is organized, ruthless, and clear about its goals, while too many on the right are more interested in scoring viral points than governing. We can admire principled debate, but endless infighting that elevates showmanship over results only empowers the radicals in Congress and the media who want us defeated.
If conservatives heed Biggs’ warning and get back to work, we can reclaim the agenda and deliver for the voters who put us in office. State parties and grassroots activists are already sounding the alarm that petty squabbles cost elections — the remedy is obvious: unity behind winners, relentless focus on policy, and shutting down the narrative that we’re our own worst enemy.
Andy Biggs has shown he’s willing to fight in the trenches for Arizona and for every patriotic American, and his call for unity is a timely wake-up that the right should embrace. If we want to win in 2026 and beyond, we must stop feuding and start governing — follow leaders who build, not those who merely break to make headlines.
