So after sounding far from sure he'd keep backing McCarthy yesterday, #TFG called the holdouts to "whip votes" for Kevin and put out a petulant "Truth" telling them all to stop making a mess and vote for him.

It'll be a big test of his power over the party whether anything changes.

It would certainly be ironic if after his disastrous impact on their midterm prospects they again let him rule them by social media post.
