‘Disaster!’: Trump’s Latest Endorsement Sparks Backlash in Trumpworld

The former president’s nod to the “McConnell-supported RINO” Katie Britt even raised the ire of one of his former spokespeople.

Former President Donald Trump has once again created tensions within Trumpworld over a recent campaign endorsement.

This time, Trump’s backing of Alabama Senate hopeful Katie Britt has enraged allies, following the ex-president pulling his endorsement from Britt’s GOP primary challenger Rep. Mo Brooks.

“Katie Britt, on the other hand, is a fearless America First Warrior,” Trump wrote in a late Friday evening statement. “Katie is an Incredible Fighter for the people of Alabama.”

Yet, that endorsement didn’t leave all of Trumpworld willing to back Britt.

“This is a gut punch,” Fox News host Mark Levin wrote on Trump’s Truth Social platform. “Very disappointing. Britt is a McConnell-supported RINO praised by the head of the Alabama Democrat Party. I hope Mo [Brooks] can pull it off. Lord knows we need his conservative voice and vote in the Senate.”

Is code for..."Katie will be an incredible fighter for ME when I get back into the White House."

TDFG speaks in code.

We have the runoff election in a few days. The only reason why Brooks didn't win was
the first primary had 5 Repub. candidates who diluted the vote, and only 23% voters turned out.
Britt is well known and running to replace a favorite now retiring guy who has endorsed her.,
