VEN (WASHINGTON) — In a bizarre move early Wednesday morning, former President Trump doubled down on his endorsement of feckless RINO and former Nimrata Rwanda paramour Kevin McCarthy, encouraging Republican Congressmen to coalesce behind the deeply flawed Mr McCarthy — who came up short on three votes for Speaker Tuesday — and despite his many shortcomings make him the next Speaker of the House.

As one Congressional aide told VEN‘s Senior White House Correspondent William Travis, “reading that endorsement on Truth Social this morning was worse than discovering that the Pope was on the board of Goldman Sachs.

“McCarthy is a cancer. Why would Trump betray these 20 principled conservatives who are risking everything to drain the swamp? It’s very discouraging.”
