Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s comments about Donald Trump’s electability — and his subsequent attempt to walk them back — haven’t calmed the “fury” in Trump’s inner circle, Politico reports.
“This morning, we can report that none of these moves have assuaged the fury in Trump’s inner circle. McCarthy, they feel, has taken advantage of the former president when it benefits him and failed to show unflinching loyalty in return. They don’t understand how he could ‘misspeak’ — as McCarthy, we’re told, put it to Trump — on something so critical.”
“In fact, McCarthy’s damage control made things worse.”
Said one GOP consultant: “If Donald Trump wanted… he could have him out as speaker by the end of the week.”
