Trump Attempted To Undermine The Leverage Of The Heroic House 20 Along With Conservative Inc.

Pedro Gonzalez of Chronicles Magazine takes President Trump behind the woodshed for his role in protecting Kevin McCarthy from the House Freedom Caucus during the speakership battle.

“The fact is we know that by the second day of voting… according to Lauren Boebert, she … gave that speech where she said that Trump had been calling members of the 20 telling them to ‘knock it off’ and vote for Kevin. In other words, Trump was trying to undermine their leverage because those concessions, all of this stuff, was not extracted from Kevin till much later. So I think it’s really important to set the record straight, what the House Freedom Caucus did … was nothing short of heroic.”
