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.”

I agree with Trey, Trump needs to tone down his rhetoric and stop with the personal attacks.
There's too much at stake in this election and he needs to start speaking like a professional, not a street thug......
This might please Gowdy somewhat, but does it really make much difference to the majority of the TDS suffering bastards in the corrupt fake news media? Trump is ascendant, and nothing the Democrats can legitimately do will change that. Trump needs to keep pressure up, and never let it off.
Trey Gowdy was, and still is, a pathetic human being and a 100% Swamp Creature. He would run his mouth like he was a conservative then do nothing for months, then, when people started noticing, he would crawl back out from under his rock and pontificate more.
This pathetic sleazeball got a ride in Congress by playing conservatives and Republicans as shallow dolts who had no attention span. He was partly correct but now people are waking up to politicians.
Sure, as soon as the left stops with theirs.
I believe that was the deal the whole time?
How many Presidential elections have YOU won?
BS!
It was a Constitutional victory!
It stopped this tactic of the left in its tracks in ALL states.
It was a GRAND VICTORY.
I would agree that Congress needs to lose their immunity if Trump does. If a President doesn’t have immunity, neither should those people that take tax $$ and make laws for the rest of us.
I’ve come to believe that Gowdy is a contrarian just like Ann coulter.
Trey - all bark, no bite, poser. Certainly nobody to take advice from. He lost all credibility with his Hillary smoke and mirrors.
Time for another hair-do, Trey.
Not going to happen without a Constitutional Amendment.
Trey Gowdy, the poser.
Let me get this straight, the commie left wants to put this man in prison for 1000 years, bankrupt him, kill him if they feel it necessary, destroy his ENTIRE family, and Gowdy wants Trump to turn the other cheek and say “Hey its all good lets move on” gee Gowdy, reminds me of the US telling Israel to just “move on” after Hamas slaughtered 1400+ Israeli’s, hey could have been worse right
Gowdy has some of the worst political instincts (and hair styles)I have seen in a Republican. And that’s saying a lot.
Nah, Pinochet.
Yes.
The greasy little slime is pretending that there isn't any lawfare going on, which is why President Trump is the last RepukeLicking that I'm ever voting for.
Take it easy on the people that broke laws trying to rip off the voters yeah right
Stick it up your Butt Trey. You certainly were no help to him.
Raskin comes out vowing to get Congress to pass laws against President Trump, and Gowdy wants Trump to hang a "Kick Me" sign on his butt in response?
-PJ
Trey’s a poser, that’s about it.
As all of these cases shed off of him by the wayside, he
won’t have to toot his own horn at all.
The Left has a lot of gnashing of teeth ahead.
