Former President Donald Trump paid back House Freedom Caucus leader Rep. Bob Good Tuesday for his endorsement of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during the Republican primary — by backing Good’s challenger days after the congressman showed up at Trump’s Manhattan trial on charges of falsifying business records.
“Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“He turned his back on our incredible movement, and was constantly attacking and fighting me until recently, when he gave a warm and ‘loving’ Endorsement – But really, it was too late,” the 45th president added, saying the “damage has been done.”
