'People are not happy': Trump allies fume after Kevin McCarthy questions his electability [View all]

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) isn't sure that former President Donald Trump is the most electable Republican running for president -- and that has many Trump allies fuming.

In interviews with CNN, Trump aides blasted McCarthy for saying on CNBC that "I don’t know that answer" about whether Trump is "the strongest to win the election" in 2024.

While this was not exactly a strong condemnation of the former president, it was apparently enough to trigger outrage from people within his orbit.

"I’ve been fielding calls on this since it happened,” one Trump ally told CNN. “People are not happy. What was he thinking?”

Now, now Kev, don't go against Dear Leader or the magaloons will come for you.
