Trump Endorses Kevin McCarthy, Pisses Off His Own Supporters
Daily Beast ^ | 6/4/22 | Zachary Petrizzo

Posted on 06/05/2022 5:14:14 AM PDT by Pollard

Despite Donald Trump's own followers booing and calling Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) a “RINO,” the ex-president sent out a statement late Saturday night endorsing McCarthy in his quest for 2022 re-election. “Congressman Kevin McCarthy is an outstanding Representative,” Trump wrote, calling the GOP House leader “strong” and “fearless.” However, after posting the endorsement to his Truth Social platform, Trump's followers expressed disappointment in the comment section.

How does endorsing Assistant Democrats get rid of Assistant Democrats?

Interesting statement from McCarthy about Jan 6th this morning on Fox. He said all the gear and equipment to give to capital police was stored miles away and not given to them. It was held back. Didn’t know that.

Endorsing Assistant Democrats in NEVER going to Make America Great Again.

You would think Trump would have learned this after endorsing McCain/Ryan and having them block Trump's agenda.

But the geniuses here would blindly sell us out to people who do not deserve our respect nor endorsement.

Please explain why we should get behind an endorsement of a back stabber.

We are all awaiting your genius to enlighten us.

Do not vote for McCarthy in the primary and, if he wins, do not vote for him in the general. I can’t take out all the rhinos but we sure should take out their leadership. After that McConnell if the limp of melted wax runs again.

Sure it is. He gave up everything to be President and his life was ruined in the process. But, yea, he wants to keep running ot by sticking his neck out. Oh, brother.

There are no serious challengers to McCarthy in either the primary or the general election in his district. There was no need to for Trump endorse this squish.

That's my opinion too. McCarthy did fine for many years before Trump. He doesn't need nor deserve any help.

Trump's TS endorsements have two styles. One is just a regular 'truth'.

The other is a big bold graphic.

How is it that McCarthy deserves the big bold graphic?

Obviously, in November, you vote R when your only alternative is a D.

And that is why we are in such a mess. In many cases, there is little to no difference between a D or an R, and the establishment loves to play that argument to the unthinking, and both sides do it.

I wonder if mccarthy has made a deal with the regime to avoid being treated like navarro?

Regarding January 6 Capitol Protest, McCarthy said:

“But let me be very clear to you and I have been very clear to the President. He bears responsibility for his words and actions. No if, ands or buts,”

might I post a Scripture from Exodus that I think about alot, as it pertains to MY life. We all want negative or bad things to be gone asap and all at once. But this Scripture really resonates with me:

29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

Trump's picking a team that will work with him to take down corrupt democrat commie 'elites'.

Some of that team won't look like Sunday School Teachers. Some won't be 'pure'... Some will be people I don't like...

I'm not going to second guess him.

They'll be the people Trump needs to make American great again...

Trump knows we're in a war. I support his team choices.

Aug 05, 2016 · Donald Trump endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan and Arizona Sen. John McCain on Friday, moving to mend an intra-party rift.

Yeah, that worked out great.

Maybe. Some people might want to actually think before insisting Trump do x or y.

It’s 2022. Not 2024. I don’t care if we get 60 seats (an absolute high) in the House and 4 in the Senate (I think a high), there will not be a REVOLUTION in either chamber this year.

This year is the pre-revolution election. If we get 40 more MAGA House members, it sets the stage for a true revolution in 24 with Trump. Then and only then should he be concerned about attempting a massive internal flip in the House-—especially . . . and this is kinda important. . . since NO ONE in the House has emerged to challenge McCarthy. No one.

But in 24 if we had 40 more now then primary/elect another 30 or so in 24, there votes would be there to demand a more sweeping change.

Thus, Trump isn’t going to get on bad terms with the only two guys who give him any direct leverage in DC at all, the Speaker and the Majority Leader. He isn’t going to run a shadow government of an opposition party. That has never worked in American History (ask the Bull Moose insurrectionists).

“He could just not endorse.” Yes. But McCarthy would take that as a slight and would repay. I don’t think this is just the smart thing politically, I think it is the only thing in an off year unless you wanted to shatter the whole party and blow the reelection win.
