28. McCarthy went there to make nice with Donald Trump because Donald Trump is threatening to open up a third party

If TFG formed a third party, the GOP would be split. McCarthy and the GOP were worried about this which is why McCarthy gave into TFG

Navarro was first to chime in, and she didn’t mince words as she described the sorry state of her party. “This has been such a sad week for the Republican Party,” she said. “They had a chance to get rid of the cross they’ve been bearing with Donald Trump, who has divide the party and opened it up for all sorts of nut jobs.”

“Instead, what we see is Kevin McCarthy, who has been all over the place, going down, making a pilgrimage to what’s going to become, now, the Republican Mecca,” continued Navarro. She proceeded to take a swipe at Mar-a-Lago’s “vintage bordello look” before turning her attention back to McCarthy’s meeting. “He went there to make nice with Donald Trump because Donald Trump is threatening to open up a third party if Republicans don’t continue kissing his ring, among other body parts,” she said. “I think that’s pathetic.”
