Conservatives will stage a revolution against the Establishment wing of the GOP if congressional Republicans confirm President Obama’s choice for the Supreme Court, LifeZette Editor-in-Chief Laura Ingraham said Wednesday.

Ingraham, who appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity,” said Obama was bound to pick a Leftist jurist who would be unacceptable to the Republican base.

“If the Republicans on Capitol Hill cave to Obama’s choice for the Court, then I think it’s all-out revolution in the Republican Party. I just think all bets are off at that point,” she said. “If the Republicans confirm an Obama pick, who we know is going to be a judicial activist … then it will be all-out war. Then it’s all-out war.”

Ingraham offered up some grief counseling for the Establishment, saying it was time for them to start uniting behind Trump, and possibly Cruz.

“They have to start moving through their stages of grief, Sean,” she said, addressing the show’s host, Sean Hannity. “They were at anger, disappointment, and they have to go to acceptance and willingness to compromise,” Ingraham said. “If it’s Trump or Cruz, they’re going to have to unite with Trump or Cruz, they’re going to have to unite behind one of these two candidates, and realize that they tried, and it didn’t work.”

Ingraham said figures like South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham are on their “last gasp.” She noted that Graham, who has endorsed former Gov. Jeb Bush, continues to challenge Trump’s qualifications for high office.

“Every time Trump gets up in the polls, it’s just personal attacks on Donald Trump,” she said. “And look, he can dish it out. So he can take it, no doubt about that. But you can’t just keep saying, ‘Well, he’s unfit for office.’ Apparently, 38 percent of the public doesn’t think that’s the case.”

Ingraham said the Establishment has failed, and because of that, attacks that Trump is not a true conservative fall on deaf ears.

“We had supposed conservatives who said they were going to have a humble foreign policy, and it was anything but,” she said. “We had conservatives that ran up the deficit and the debt. We had conservatives who left open borders. And we had conservatives that presided over trade policy that allowed China to build the second-biggest growing military force in the world. So if all of that was conservative, I think we need to move the goalposts on what exactly the conservative movement means.”
