Trey Gowdy to Endorse Marco Rubio for President, Reports Say

After much speculation that he would do it, South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy officially endorsed Marco Rubio for president on Tuesday afternoon.

Trump criticized Gowdy’s performance at an October hearing with Hillary Clinton on the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, during an appearance on “Fox and Friends”.

The stop also comes after a new attack ad against Rubio accused him of skipping out on important congressional meetings regarding the nation’s security and public safety. The South Carolina congressman released a statement reading: “Marco is a rock solid conservative and a strong leader we can trust”.

In total (the committee) was not good for Republicans and the country. What it might do is help Marco Rubio establish himself as the natural moderator moderate to conservative alternative to Donald Trump.

Trump retweeted a number of people criticising Gowdy, including one person who called him a “loser” and another who said he “let Hillary get away with murder”. Trey Gowdy are on a year-end tour titled “Out With The Old, In With The New”. Gowdy already introduced the presidential candidate at campaign events in SC earlier this month. Trump said he saw a flood of people on Twitter criticising Gowdy for the move.

Here’s the thing. In this election cycle, Republican voters have been drawn to Donald Trump because he is not a Republican elected official, because he represents the exact opposite of what we consider the Republican establishment.
