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.”

This guy is the equivalent of the foreskin that gets tossed into the trash after circumcision. Hey, Jim “Trey” Jordan, cease being like this loser when he did what you do in Congress. We are The People expect results not show investigations. Capiche!
“I don’t think he’s going to win the presidential immunity case before the court.”
That would mean that from now on anyone elected President will live the rest of his life with a target on his back.
Any incumbent President will be a blackmail pinata.
🤣🤣🤣. Uh, faux snooze....🖕
It's your refusal to fight that helped get us into this mess.
Being magnanimous in victory may help court the independents. They are the ones that will determine the election.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”They all know that if Congress impeaches and convicts the President, Vice President or all civil Officers of the United States for Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors, "the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."
The problem is that they have become immoral in their conduct in office. Party power has become more important than punishing offenders.
Maybe if the balance of power weren't so razor-thin we'd see more enforcement of the moral code and punishment of offenders. Instead, we see protection of all sorts or amoral behavior if the result of impeachment is loss of power in the government.
The LAAP-dog media, speaking on behalf of the Democrats in Congress said that the Supreme Court "punted" on the 14th Amendment issue. "Punting" is a euphemism for making the Democrats in Congress go on the record. If the Democrats in Congress really believed that President Trump committed an offense against the nation, they should have been able to impeach and convict him. They did not or could not.
Trying to concoct new laws to do what the impeachment laws were designed to do is an end-around of the Constitution. The Constitutional processes that the Democrats launched failed to deliver their desired result. The remedy is no to make new laws, the remedy is to move on or to not be so brazenly foolish the next time.

All these RINOs trying to control Trump. Trump has been through HELL for 8 years. He and his family have been tormented relentlessly by the left. Trump pulls a 9-0 SC ruling and Gowdy tells him dont celebrate? FOTG.
Screw that.
I want to see his Cheshire Cat grin. It’s warranted.
Precisely you fool Trey
Humility is not in his DNA.
Actually that’s the same stuff Cameron Diaz used in “There’s Something About Mary”.
Like Hillary with her “but her emails” fundraising hats?
Exactly. Well said.
Take a hike, Gowdy.
Phuck the rooster!
Why should a man who has been blatantly denied the right to run for President because of unproven, untried, and unconvicted claims show humility at retaining that right? If anything, he should shout it from the rooftops and Fox should STFU.
You first, Faux.
>> I would encourage Trey to quit using DWS’s grease on his own hair.
Yeah, why DOES “Mr. All Talk No Results” always look like he has “There’s Something About Mary” “product” in his hair?
Gowdy is one of the most OVERRATED congress critters EVER!
Well said. You took some time to spell that out. Thank you.
I hope he does, but......
They are going to have to grant immunity for official acts. Or every past and future president will be facing dozens upon dozens of felony charges, Obama gun running, Bush weapons of mass destruction, Biden, I can’t even count the number of laws he broke, then you might as well charge every single cabinet secretary, with dozens of felonies. Presidents break the law routinely.
