MIAMI, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told the conservatives currently withholding support from House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy in McCarthy’s speakership bid to stand down in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News here on Friday.
“I like him,” Trump said of McCarthy, before teeing off on those working against him such as Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Bob Good (R-VA), and Ralph Norman (R-SC). While Trump did not name those trying to stop McCarthy from taking the Speaker’s gavel on January 3, he in no uncertain terms said he disagrees with their efforts—and warned that there could be serious consequences if McCarthy does not get the gavel and they could make Washington worse for conservatives.

Only if he denounces the Speakership of PRyno.
On this, I disagree with President Trump. That said, the man is no fool. He obviously has his reasons for this. What those reasons are I do not pretend to know. But, while I disagree with this I give the man the benefit of the fact he is far more plugged in than I am.
Trump is now yesterday’s man. But thanks for the great 3 years President Trump.
You’re correct, this is some kind of tactical/strategy move here.
Maybe he’s just endorsing him to be given the rope to hang himself.
Because to me the comment is kind of like, let’s see what the big boy does with his power. Will he be uniparty or will he be conservative.
J6 committee related? That’s all I could come up with.
Well Freepers, who?
It's a one-way street.
Maybe a sleeper candidate. Someone who everyone likes but doesn’t put himself out there. Maybe a WOMAN!
McCarthy? Trump has many strengths. But for some reason, he just doesn’t do well when it comes to seeing who should be in what office.
I thought he might have learn from his previous experience in the White House. But I guess not.
I don’t like McCarthy but do the Republicans reasonably have anyone else?
Trump seems to never learn from his past, but he is a Social Liberal with the exception of abortion...

Hey…how about Kari Lake ?
Right now, nobody.
Who else is running for Speaker that has a chance? No one. Trump is supporting McCarthy because there isn’t anyone else. Just like there isn’t anyone else to support for 2024 except Trump — right now.
Probably.
Not trustworthy
Picks lousy help
I’m OK either way. If they want to blow it all up I’m fine with that. The only real problem is if the Rats outplay them , get speakerphone to a Cheney type so they can continue to endlessly investigate Trump.
“Maybe he’s just endorsing him to be given the rope to hang himself.”
And hang us in the process?
