Trump questions why GOP is 'always fighting among themselves'
Washington Examiner ^ | October 03, 2023 5:45 PM | Jack Birle

Former President Donald Trump slammed Republican infighting Tuesday as some House Republicans banded with Democrats to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the speakership.

Ahead of the vote to oust McCarthy, Trump posted on Truth Social, saying that Republicans should focus on fighting the "Radical Left Democrats who are destroying our Country."

"Why is it that Republicans are always fighting among themselves, why aren’t they fighting the Radical Left Democrats who are destroying our Country?" Trump posted.

Trump has been a supporter of McCarthy for House speaker, backing him in January during his prolonged fight for the speakership. House Democrats and eight Republicans voted in favor of Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-FL) motion to vacate the speakership. Gaetz has been a fierce supporter of Trump.

Gaetz accused McCarthy of making a "Ukraine deal with Democrats" to pass aid for the country at a later date, and this was one of the main reasons he brought forward a motion to vacate the speakership.

Interesting comment from Trump, as the ousting of McCarthy over the budget and Ukraine funding puts him in an uncertain position.

Will he support McCarthy, who he originally endorsed and supported for Speaker? To do that, now, he would have to throw his #1 supporter in Congress, Gaetz, under the bus, and come out in favor of the bloated budgets and Ukraine funding Gaetz was able to block.

.
Why did it take 15 Rounds to get McCarthy elected?

Because they knew he was going to visit the WH and make Deals and lie to them.

They knew. He had a long established reputation.

Listened to the Hannity on the way home and he was crying about Republicans fighting each other. Then he began to fight the Republicans over the ouster.

Listening to Levin, and he is also fighting the Republicans. amd ransacking his vocabulary of vile terms to call them. He just asked why anyone would vote with Jefferies. Well, McCarthy did, plenty times.

Everyone must have forgotten the two year deal McCarthy cut with the democrats.

Because better than half of the "GOP" are not conservatives. They are Liberal Lites

Republicans have proven to be the masters of the circular firing squad.

First one of the seven dwarfs to support Gaetz in this would make a giant step in beating Trump.

What a stupid thing for Trump to say.

It’s a good question, although in this case all MacCarthy had to do to keep his job was to not agree to any side deals with the Democrats, as he promised.

The 99% of RINOs are fighting against the .5% of conservatives.

According to a townhall link, McCarthy has thrown in the towel

“It’s confirmed. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), booted as the Speaker of the House of Representatives today, will not run again for his former office.”

Ourselves?? We are fighting to get rid of those not like ourselves, that’s why. Good Grief, Trump can be dense sometimes.

It’s called draining the swamp Mr president. We all knew it would be an ugly, drawn out process. Once the gop is purged of the rats in republican clothing,
Then we can start giving the lefties helicopter rides.

Levin is mostly often totally wrong within the first two months of the current action.

Usually he eventually comes around, at least in weak support.

Democrats have been in majority much more often because they NEVER EAT THEIR OWN. If someone posts a single post on DUmmies denigrating ANY democrats, the post is immediately removed and repeat offenders are zotted. Republicans behave like cannibals, eating their own. No wonder they are usually a pitiful minority in power.

Ryan, Cantor, and now McCarthy finally sent to the ash bin of history.

Not a moment too soon.
