In a recent radio interview, President Donald J. Trump cleared the record on his recent endorsement of Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), emphasizing that while he had endorsed McCarthy’s re-election bid, he had not endorsed McCarthy in the race for the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.
As reported by the Washington Examiner , President Trump made the statement in an interview with talk radio host Wayne Allyn Root. After Root said that Trump had endorsed McCarthy for speaker, Trump interjected with “No, I haven’t. No, no, no, I haven’t.”
“No, I endorsed him in his race,” Trump clarified. “But I haven’t endorsed anybody for speaker.”
In his endorsement of McCarthy about two weeks ago, Trump called McCarthy a “strong and fearless Leader of the House Republican Conference,” offering support for his re-election to California’s 20th congressional district.
McCarthy has fallen out of favor with some conservatives in recent weeks and months, with the primary criticism being his handling of the peaceful protests at the U.S. Capitol January 6th, and its subsequent aftermath; leaked conversations seem to suggest that McCarthy has been more critical of Trump behind the scenes than he has been publicly.
Later in the interview, Root asked Trump if he was open to the idea of being Speaker of the House himself. It has been noted that, although every Speaker in the history of the House has been an elected representative, one technically does not have to be a member of Congress in order to serve as Speaker.
In response, Trump said that he had “great relationships” in the House, and that he would “talk to you about that at a later date.” When Root asked if Trump would run for President again in 2024, Trump once again gave his most common reply: That people would be “happy” with his decision.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
