Exclusive - Trump Backs McCarthy for Speaker, Tells Opponents to Stand Down: ‘I Think He Deserves the Shot’
Former President Donald Trump told conservatives currently withholding support from House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy in McCarthy’s speakership bid to stand down.
supporting ≠ pointing at.
McCarthy met with Trump shortly after Trump was out of office. Then he pleaded ignorance when the photos surfaced. But probably all pre-arranged by Trump and McCarthy. Or maybe Trump is supporting him because McCarthy disavowed him.
