GOP In Chaos As Trump Refuses To Endorse Kevin McCarthy For Speaker
Blackeconomicdevelopment.com ^ | 6/19/22 | Jason Easley

Trump is trying to claim that he never endorsed Kevin McCarthy for speaker even though he endorsed him two weeks ago.

A couple of weeks ago, Trump endorsed McCarthy and said he was “an outstanding Representative for the people of California, and a strong and fearless Leader of the House Republican Conference.”

However, according to The Washington Examiner, Trump now claims that he never endorsed McCarthy for speaker, “Towards the end of a recent interview, Trump interjected to correct conservative talk show host Wayne Allyn Root after he said Trump endorsed McCarthy for speaker. “No, I haven’t,” Trump said. “No, no, no. I haven’t,” he added through some crosstalk. “No, I endorsed him in his race. But I haven’t endorsed anybody for speaker.”

Trump’s initial endorsement read a lot like he would also support McCarthy for speaker. The whole reason that Kevin McCarthy is sucking up to Trump is that he yearns to be the next speaker of the House.

If Trump doesn’t support him for Speaker, House Republicans could plot their first-ever coup against the person who is the presumed speaker if they win the majority.

Rep. Jim Jordan is the person who is lurking in case McCarthy stumbles. If Trump and his diehards in the House support Jordan, McCarthy could be screwed, and all of his kissing up to Trump will have been for nothing.

“Which is precisely why I’ve called him Milquetoast McCarthy from day one!”

Indeed he is, and should not be Speaker this time around, but probably will end up winning, supported by the two many other milquetoasts in the House.

Also correct about McCarthy.

But I think some confuse the obligatory salutations to McCarthy with an actual endorsement of him for Speaker.

GOOD! McCarthy like the Turtle and all other RINOs, needs to be gotten rid of.

> “Trump is trying to claim that he never endorsed Kevin McCarthy for speaker even though he endorsed him two weeks ago.”

Trump’s statement was clear. He praised McCarthy and endorsed him for Congress BUT NOT FOR SPEAKER.

The writer has a problem with reading comprehension. He should apologize and retract.

Jim Jordan would be my choice for House Speaker over that RINO McCarthy. Hands down.

McCarthy probably wrote the story, trying to pressure Trump.

The chaos is being caused by "moderate" RINOs ( we use to call them Democrats ) who refuse to let go of power. The GOP is a "working" MAGA class party now. It should no longer be "led" by checked pant country clubbers exchanging inside trader information and stock tips.

There's the chaos as I see it.

Why is it chaos? It is simply the majority deciding its leadership. Sifting the roster is a sign of health.

McCarthy played a stupid game equating Trumps endorsement in his race as an endorsement for speaker.

Trump should withdraw his nomination for that.

“Total libtard article”

“Yep. A quick jump to the link article told me al I needed to know. Interesting how many people on this thread seem to have failed to do that little bit of research.

First thing I saw was an ad at the top of the page “buy black all the time”.....OK 👌

McCarthy will need 216 votes to be elected Speaker. The narrower the GOP majority, the easier it would be to block him.

“...House Republicans could plot their first-ever coup...”

Third world language for a third world country. Normal political maneuvering now a coup.

I believe Trump when he says he only endorsed him for his race. I would imagine there is no MAGA person running against McCarthy, so Trump endorsed the republican

I do not like McCarthy, I am just sayin’.

His one issue is trusting people who are untrustworthy.

Trump didn’t refuse to endorse him. He said he’s he endorsed him for his seat and will focus on Speaker later (after he wins the primary/ Nov. election. Makes perfect sense.

Thank you for the concise explanation. 👍👍👍
