Former President Donald Trump just sent a scathing threat to House Republicans who remain hesitant about impeaching President Joe Biden. During remarks at a recent campaign rally, Trump indicated that he might use his influence to go on the warpath against the squishier types.
Given the former president’s past behavior, it would make sense to take his threat seriously. But will it be enough to push lawmakers into action?
Trump minced no words while speaking at the rally:
Former President Trump vowed to support primary challenges against House GOP lawmakers who refuse to impeach President Biden.
During a campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, the Republican presidential candidate expressed his frustration with House Republicans who “don’t do anything” about the corruption allegations against Biden.
“The biggest complaint I get … is that the Republicans find out this information and then they do nothing about it! They don’t do anything about it!” he said.
Trump criticized Republicans for not having a fighting spirit, even with all the Democrats have done to him.
“They’re good people, but they don’t fight the way they’re supposed to fight. The others are dirty, sick players, and the Republicans are very high class. They’ve got to be a little bit lower class,” he added.
Trump then threatened Republicans who refuse to “act on Democrat fraud,” arguing they “should be immediately primaried and get out.”
“They have to play tough and they have to be — and honestly, if they’re not willing to do it, we got a lot of good, tough Republicans around that people are going to run against them and people are going to win and they’re going to get my endorsement every single time and they’re going to win because we win almost every race when we endorse,” he said.
