I never thought I’d see the day when a large swath of the MAGA base would become enraged by Donald Trump.
But on Saturday, he did just that. He ignited a fury from his MAGA base after endorsing Kevin McCarthy for re-election. The response from his worshippers on Twitter was fast and furious. Readers Digest version:
- Donald Trump threw his weight behind House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Saturday, calling the Republican lawmaker "strong and fearless" ahead of McCarthy's potential re-election.
- Trump's endorsement came in a social media post over Truth Social, in which the former president said that McCarthy is an "outstanding representative for the people of California."
- "In Congress, Kevin is a tireless advocate for the people of Bakersfield and the Central Valley. He is working incredibly hard to Stop Inflation, Deliver Water Solutions, and Hold Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi Accountable for their catastrophic failures and dereliction of duty," Trump wrote. "Kevin McCarthy has my Complete and Total Endorsement."
- Trump's imprimatur reportedly sparked ire from much of his base, in large part because McCarthy has not expressed total devotion to the former president in the past.

This is what Trump covets above all else: Total loyalty. And Kevin McCarthy has displayed enough sycophantic qualities than Turd Cruz could ever dream of. Donald Trump has ripped Kevin McCarthy’s spine and keeps it in a closet at Morgue-a-Lago. But Kevin is okay with that. He knows that Trump has his back. But now it’s Trump who has to watch his back from the MAGA’s.
Some notable tweets:
From Pedro Gonzalez, a right-wing Hispanic who makes Ted Cruz look like a flaming liberal:
“Trump endorsing Frank Luntz bunk buddy Kevin McCarthy, instead of using his political capital to undermine bad GOP leadership, is a sign that Trump has not learned much after all this time about who is and is not America First.”
And from Leo Terrell, a well-known black Ultra-MAGA guy on Twitter and on Fox News:
“Kevin McCarthy does NOT want President Trump to win the re-election in 2024!”
Leo cracks me up. He reminds me of the time I saw a chicken rooting for Colonel Sanders.
What do ya’ll think about this?
