Emmer also wants to fund WWIII. That’s why House GOP Reps are only supporting Emmer in private. pic.twitter.com/ewNSqsQUEf

Outside the GOP House Speaker Forum, I asked Dan Crenshaw if he supported Tom Emmer for Speaker. Crenshaw responded, “We are going to go hear the debate.”

Many D.C. insiders believe House GOP Leadership knew how unpopular Emmer was with Trump and his supporters, so they did not publicly disclose their vote.
Trump wrote on TruthSocial, “I have many wonderful friends wanting to be Speaker of the House, and some are truly great Warriors. RINO Tom Emmer, who I do not know well, is not one of them. He never respected the Power of a Trump Endorsement, or the breadth and scope of MAGA—MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! He fought me all the way, and actually spent more time defending Ilhan Omar, than he did me—He is totally out-of-touch with Republican Voters. I believe he has now learned his lesson, because he is saying that he is Pro-Trump all the way, but who can ever be sure? Has he only changed because that’s what it takes to win? The Republican Party cannot take that chance, because that’s not where the America First Voters are. Voting for a Globalist RINO like Tom Emmer would be a tragic mistake!”
