Trump abused him, he called the cops but ultimately didn't press charges and now they're moving in together.

Kemp is similar to an abused spouse or domestic partner, whom obviously is usually the woman. However, fitting the bill even better is House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who
In a CNBC interview on Tuesday, Mr McCarthy said Mr Trump can beat Mr Biden but that he’s not sure another Republican couldn’t do better.
“Can he win that election? Yeah, he can,” Mr McCarthy said. “The question is, is he the strongest to win the election? I don’t know that answer. But can somebody, can anybody beat Biden? Yeah, anybody can beat Biden.”
But like an abused wife or girlfriend
The House speaker changed his tune in a later interview with
Breitbart, saying his words had been twisted and he didn’t mean to undermine Mr
Trump.
As usual, the media is attempting to drive a wedge between President Trump and House Republicans as our committees are holding Biden’s DOJ accountable for their two-tiered levels of justice,” he said. “The only reason Biden is using his weaponised federal government to go after President Trump is because he is Biden’s strongest political opponent, as polling continues to show.”
“Just look at the numbers this morning—Trump is stronger
today than he was in 2016,” he added in reference to a Morning Consult poll
which showed Mr Trump ahead of Mr Biden by a margin of 44 per cent to 41 per
cent.
It later emerged that, in addition to the Breitbart interview, Mr McCarthy also called the former president to apologise for his comments, CNN reports. He even sent out a campaign fundraising email on behalf of Mr Trump that claimed the 45th president was “stronger than ever” heading into the 2024 election.
Well, of course he did, because most Republicans not in swing districts- and most aren't- are on balance fine with Donald Trump, who
could face still more legal trouble in the months
to come over his attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential
election,…
Still, Mr McCarthy’s suggestion that Mr Trump may not be the
strongest candidate is notable if only because the California representative
has long been one of Mr Trump’s most vocal allies in Republican leadership —
famously aiding his political rehabilitation by visiting him at Mar-a-Lago just
weeks after the Capitol riot.
Fret not for Kevin McCarthy, Brian Kemp, or like-minded members of their party. Aided by centrist and center-left media, the myth remains that most Republicans are only bowing to the wishes of right-wing, unreasonable constituents. This is not the case, on the federal level and not in most states controlled by the GOP. The pols and their donors are willing members of this caucus.
From destroying #ReproductiveRights to privatizing schools, much of the top-billed items on the Right’s agenda are wildly unpopular.

It’s no accident that “keep questions off state ballots” is item 2 behind “focus on pliable GOP state legislators” in the playbook for all this https://t.co/KRlzc8uKdI
Most people, even Republicans, are reasonable, if led by reasonable politicians. But throughout the country, GOP leaders are far -right extremists, members of an informal, unofficial reckless caucus. They know what they're doing, it's not pretty, and they shouldn't be let off the hook.
