Trump Spox Liz Harrington: We Will Hold McCarthy Accountable as He Would Not Be Speaker without Trump’s Endorsement

‘He’s got a lot of pressure on him’

EXCERPT:

HARRINGTON: “It's all of our jobs to hold his feet to the fire to these very conservative points that he has agreed to. I heard part of your last segment, and for him to go back on these really monumental changes that he did have to agree to in order to get the speakership, to make sure that we actually have conservative bills coming out of Congress, conservative representation on these very important committees that I think have been neglected, like the Rules Committee, are very important, they’re very big deal. But for him to go back on that in such a short amount of time, I mean the public outcry would be enormous and President Trump would be at the forefront leading that charge. I mean, he’s going to be holding Kevin McCarthy’s feet to the fire because Kevin McCarthy would not be Speaker had it not been for President Trump intervening and lending his support, his powerful endorsement to Kevin McCarthy. So, he’s got a lot of pressure on him and I think he is going to follow through. And it’s up to all of us, also, to put that pressure on and make sure that he makes good on these really historic agreements to make a more conservative House."
