It's eating itself: TFG Endorses Kevin McCarthy, Pisses Off His Own Supporters

[634-5789]

Despite Donald Trump's own followers booing and calling Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) a “RINO,” the ex-president sent out a statement late Saturday night endorsing McCarthy in his quest for 2022 re-election. “Congressman Kevin McCarthy is an outstanding Representative,” Trump wrote, calling the GOP House leader “strong” and “fearless.”

However, after posting the endorsement to his Truth Social platform, Trump's followers expressed disappointment in the comment section. “What the heck,” one user whose bio states they will vote for Trump a “third time,” wrote.

In supporting McCarthy, Trump has crossed some of his loudest supporters. Trumpworld allies, including Fox News contributor Leo Terrell and Roger Stone, have been two of the many voices leading attacks on McCarthy over being a “RINO”.

1. It's a Trump-fuck-em! (Turducken)

Err

2. Not fast enough. ...nt

3. Trump still needs him for awhile. McCarthy has protected him in the house

And will continue to do so. Probably would even if TFG shits on him, but he wants to be sure.

5. Yeah, this is most likely the Quo for the J6th flip-flop Quid.

If memory serves McCarthy was called on the carpet down to Mar-a-Loco shortly after the fall and before the second impeachment because he was making the wrong noises.

4. Trump, attempting to play (rational)

old style party politics. It's not a good fit for a natural born facist with imperial delusions (and virtually NO interest in the party, it's future, or any of it's inhabitants). Goes to the point - as far as central positions or ideals, there simply IS no 'there' there - and never has been. The man will do anything, say anything - and contradict himself twice on Sunday.

6. Trump chumps can't comprehend that Donny only cares about $$$ and groveling (to him, of course).

And I'm sure McCarthy has given him plenty of both.

7. trump doesn't give 2 shits about 'his' people

8. They'll forgive him.

They’ll turn around and convince themselves that he’s right and the rift never happened. It’s so easy to be one of them.

9. I love when this happens, pass the butter!
