The Roanoke Times Former President Donald Trump recently called the Republican governor of Arkansas a âRINOâ â âRepublican in name onlyâ â because he disagreed with something that Asa Hutchinson had done. Hutchinson joins a long list of Republicans whom Trump has branded as âRINOsâ and an even longer list of other Republicans who have been called that. Former Rep. Denver Riggleman of Nelson County got called that, even though he was endorsed by Trump (but did officiate at a same-sex wedding, which proved politically troublesome with 5th District Republicans who refused to renominate him). Wyomingâs Liz Cheney has definitely been called RINO. As we comb through our archives, we find lots of Republicans who have been accused of being âRepublicans in name only.â
