Trump endorses GOP challenger to South Carolina Rep. Tom Rice © Greg Nash Former President Trump is endorsing a Republican South Carolina state lawmaker’s attempt to unseat Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.).

Trump’s endorsement of state Rep. Russell Fry marks the latest effort by the former president to make good on his threat to campaign against any Republican who broke with him last year in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Rice was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the riot. In December, he told Politico he regretted voting against certifying President Biden's victory on Jan. 6.

How can anyone who voted for Trump in 2020 then go on to vote for a RINO traitor in 2022? I’m hoping to see a huge RINO purge in the primaries this year.

You don’t see dems just jumping at their chance
to knife Pelosi in the back or use the 25 amendment
to force infirm mental cognitively challenged
Biden out of office.

Ditch Mitch he is a SOB

All depends on who steps into the race. Have any MAGA types entered?

Can’t pick a legit person if a legit person doesn’t enter the race.

Rice is a political zombie. The head is dead but the body just doesn’t know it.

Ken Richardson is the grassroots candidate that needs to be endorsed by P. Trump! Who advised P. Trump on THIS endorsement?

Saw Richardson on War Room.
He should have been the one.
Trump, again, is not getting the best advice!
