Trump meets McCarthy and states his popularity has never been stronger!
PALM BEACH, Florida (PNN) - January 30, 2021 - Donald Trump met Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy at Mar-a-Lago Thursday - then released a statement about his own power and influence.
Trump was seen officially for the first time in a photograph released by his political action committee, having been banned from social media and until now only seen golfing.
A readout of the meeting from Save America PAC said, “President Trump’s popularity has never been stronger than it is today, and his endorsement means more than perhaps any endorsement at any time.”
To those like Senator Mitch McConnell (Kent.) who had hoped to see the back of Trump thanks to his treasonous efforts to undermine the 2020 election, it was a clear message that he is not going away.
McCarthy became the first Republican leader to make the trip to Mar-a-Lago, as his own caucus faced civil war over impeachment.
The statement said that Trump committed to the House minority leader that he will help Republicans win back a majority in the lower chamber of Congress.
“They worked very well together in the last election and picked up at least 15 seats when most predicted it would be opposite,” the statement continued. “They will do so again, and the work has already started.”
Trump’s commitment to help McCarthy comes as his second bogus impeachment trial is set to begin in the Senate next month.
Following the meeting, McCarthy released a statement calling on Republicans to band together against the “radical Democrat agenda”.
“Today, President Trump committed to helping elect Republicans in the House and Senate in 2022,” McCarthy said. “A Republican majority will listen to our fellow (Amerikans) and solve the challenges facing our nation.”
He continued, “Democrats, on the other hand, have only put forward an agenda that divides us - such as (unconstitutionally impeaching Donald Trump) and destroying blue-collar energy jobs. For the sake of our country, the radical Democrat agenda must be stopped.”
News of the meeting first emerged after reports revealed Trump called McCarthy a “pussy” for giving in and placing any blame on him for having a role in the January 6 Capitol storming.
McCarthy's sojourn to Mar-a-Lago came as another Trump loyalist, Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) traveled to Wyoming to turn up the heat on Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), one of just 10 Republicans who voted for impeachment in the House.
Gaetz insulted Cheney and called for her defeat.
“Defeat Liz Cheney in this upcoming election and Wyoming will bring Washington to its knees,” he told a few hundred supporters. “How can you call yourself a representative when you don’t represent the will of the People? That’s what all the neocons ask about the Arab dictators. I figure maybe we ought to ask the same question of a beltway bureaucrat turned fake cowgirl that supported an (unconstitutional) impeachment that is deeply unpopular in the state of Wyoming.”
At one point, he held up his cell phone so that he could play a call from Donald Trump Jr.
Trump Jr. said her favorables in the state “are only slightly worse than her father’s shooting skills,” in reference to when Dick Cheney accidentally shot his pal while hunting. He said it was “time to have a change at the top”.
He called her “out of touch” and tried to link her to neocons associated with the George W. Bush regime.
He called her a “master of the ways of the Beltway” and attacked her as a carpetbagger.
“Let's find someone good and let’s find one person and back (him or her),” the president’s son said.
