Fox News host and former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) urged former President Trump not to take a victory lap after the Supreme Court ruled Monday that states cannot bar him from the ballot in this fall’s presidential election.
“I would encourage him to do something that he doesn’t often do, which is show humility because there are other decisions that are coming that he may not agree with,” Gowdy said on Fox. “I don’t think he’s going to win the presidential immunity case before the court.”
Gowdy’s comments were first highlighted by Mediaite.
The court voted Monday, by unanimous decision, to overturn a lower court’s decision that disqualified him in Colorado under the 14th Amendment’s insurrection ban.
Trump celebrated the news by calling it a “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!” on his Truth Social website.
The former president has repeatedly suggested the various legal threats he faces are politically motivated and designed to keep him from running in this fall’s presidential election against President Biden.
Trump, Gowdy said, should “show a little restraint when you win and show a little restraint when you don’t win.”
“This was not a close case, and anyone who listened to oral arguments knows that. But neither is the presidential immunity,” the former congressman said. “I don’t think that one’s going to wind up being close to either — the other direction.”

Shut up Trey, you impotent schmuck. After listening to your book, I now understand why Spartanburg is a hell hole of crime. You’re as worthless as tits on a boar hog. Shut up and go away.
100%
If he doesn’t then EVERY living President can be gone after for what they DID in office after they LEFT office. Imagine the crap on obamaumao and clinton ALONE!!
No— the documents supposed case is un-tryable— because Jack Smith is a loon, and not a legal appointment for the role (see Amicus Brief Ed Meese and many others, all superior attorneys vs. Trey RoosterTail Gowdy).
Such a pompous ass, that Trey Gowdy, an effete RINO snob if ever there was one.
I am reminded of Teddy Roosevelt’s “Citizenship in a Republic” speech in which he notes that it is not the critic, but the warrior, whose face is marked by the strains and stress of combat most foul but who nonetheless distinguishes himself by being the man in the arena and not an observer on the sidelines.
To the point, Gowdy offers his critique of Trump while it is he, Gowdy, who has chosen to withdraw from the contest rather than fight for his principles as Trump is doing, despite a tilted pitch and having to lean into the offensive winds of the Deep State.
Kabuki Trey speaks!!!
Yup. I call him Trey “Tin Tin’’ Gowdy.
He is creepy.
Enough with the scrutiny, already. This is not our first time around with Donald Trump.
I have been hearing Trey Gowdy’s semi-conservative voice for a long time.
But I don’t know of a single conservative thing he’s ever actually accomplished.
He pops up, says some stuff, then disappears.
I decided a long time ago he’s just a GOP mouthpiece.
You know about answering a question with a question.
I have defended Trey Gowdy in the past because he personally stepped in and helped us against the Obama administration regarding a business transaction. But he’s obviously comprised himself to retain his fox news contributor status as controlled opposition. Sad.
Oh. One third of the voters don’t matter, eh?
Showing some politeness is neither pandering nor a sign of weakness.
I know about your rinoness.
Oh you do; huh?
Seems like it.
Dumbest response I have ever received in the over 20 years I've been on this site........
You should be ashamed of yourself for such a stupid comment..........Sheesh!
Is Trump a commie Democrat? No? Then why should he behave like one?
LOL! If I hadn't looked at your sign up date, I would have sworn you just entered puberty and discovered FR........LOL!
It appears you know something I don’t.
