A TFG associate said the former president is 'pulling strings behind the scenes' in 2022 GOP primary
likened him to 'The Godfather's' Vito Corleone
Former President Donald Trump has raised the stakes in his mission to mold the GOP to his liking, eagerly wading into 2022 Republican primaries to boost particular candidates and in some cases seeking to push out party members that he has soured on, according to a CNN report.
In three states North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama the former president has played an outsized role in propping up candidates that have earned his endorsement while looking to push out Republicans who didn't make the cut.
According to CNN, an individual close to Trump even compared him to the mob boss Vito Corleone from the film "The Godfather," pointing to the former president's efforts to purge the GOP of lawmakers who criticized him over his role in the January 6 riot, as well as those who backed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill championed by President Joe Biden.
According to the individual, Trump has been "pulling strings behind the scenes and guiding candidates in the right direction."
