This time, Trump’s support for the optimistic Katie Britt for the Alabama Senate has angered the allies, after the former president withdrew his support from MP Mo Brooks for Britt’s main challenger in the GOP. “Katie Britt, on the other hand, is a fearless American warrior,” Trump wrote in a statement late Friday night. “Katie is an incredible fighter for the people of Alabama.” However, this approval did not leave the entire Trumpworld willing to support Britt. “This is a punch in the gut,” Fox News presenter Mark Levine wrote on Trump’s Truth Social platform. “Very disappointing. Britt is a McConnell-backed RINO praised by the Alabama Democratic Party leader. I hope Mo [Brooks] can get it out. “The Lord knows we need his conservative voice and his vote in the Senate.” The Fox News presenter would later double, calling Britt a “disaster,” citing an article by Breitbart claiming that the now-Trump-backed candidate was “surrounded” by “never Trump.” Similarly, Trump’s former spokeswoman Katrina Pearson shared the same article, blasting Trump, writing: “Is this Katie Britt? Of course he did. “ It did not stop there. Pro-Trump writer Ryan Girduski responded to Trump’s support by writing on Twitter: “Damn. “Mo is that.” A spokesman for Britt’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment by The Daily Beast on Sunday afternoon. As part of Trump’s support for Britt on Friday night, the former president acknowledged criticism from MAGA’s hardline Republicans. “The opposition says Katie is close to Mitch McConnell, but she really is not — in fact, she believes McConnell put Mike Durant in the race to stop her, which is very likely to be true,” Trump said of Durant, Army veteran. , who finished third in the original primary race. Britt support comes at a critical time for both campaigns. The qualifying round is in less than two weeks as none of the candidates managed to secure 50% of the votes in the qualifying race. In April 2021, Trump approved Brooks, only to revoke the approval after Brooks urged Trump supporters to go ahead with claims that the 2020 election “stole.” In a statement Friday, Trump accused Brooks, whom Britt describes as a Republican nominee, of “waking up” at his rally in Coleman, Alabama. Instead of denouncing voter fraud, Mo lectured to the crowd of 63,000, saying, “Leave it behind, leave it behind,” which means, in fact, forget the rigged election and move on to the future. . “Trump was angry. His words made me withdraw my Ratification and Mo wanted it back then – but I can not give it to him!” Following Trump’s statement, Brooks retaliated, claiming that Trump had been “purged” of incumbent Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “This is strange: the last time Donald Trump talked about Katie Britt, he said he was not qualified for the Senate,” Brooks said. “Donald Trump is the only man in American politics who could be deceived by Mitch McConnell twice in a race for the Alabama Senate.” This is not the first time Trumpworld has strongly opposed Mar-a-Lago approval. After Trump backed Dr. Mehmet Oz, Trumpworld allies collapsed over the former president backing the Turkish-American TV star. “Wait,” said one pro-Trump expert. “Is there anything conservative about Dr. Oz?”
