McCarthy scorned by conservative for 'suck-up' to the 'furies of Mar-a-Lago'
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) enraged Donald Trump this week when he appeared to suggest the former president might not be the strongest candidate to win the general election in 2024 before swiftly walkingit back under a wave of MAGA anger.
The whole affair reiterates how weak and unfit McCarthy is as a political leader, wrote conservative commentator Charlie Sykes for The Bulwark on Thursday.
"'Can he win that election? Yeah, he can win that election,' McCarthy said on CNBC. 'The question is: Is he the strongest to win the election? I dont know that answer,'" wrote Sykes.
"Cue the furies of Mar-a-Lago and the absolutely inevitable, eminently predictable cave by the self-gelded speaker.Reports Politicos Playbook: 'Were told top aides to the former president and allies who know both men quickly traded messages asking, in short: What the f--k? Some called McCarthy a moron, were told.'"
