Quick question if he does support trump why are far right/trump supporters (like that lady from Colorado) against him?

also worth noting is that Trump has become a divisive figure among the Republicans now. Where before he was the default leader, now that role is beginning to shift to DeSantis more than anyone, especially after Trump seems to have contributed a lot to the very poor midterm results for Republicans.

Trump coming out and calling for people to appoint McCarthy is a pretty desperate ploy right now from Trump to act like he is still calling some shots. And as you point out, some of his previously strongest supporters are very conspicuously NOT answering that call.

P.S. I'm a leftist personally and don't have a dog in the fight. But I do check in on the occasional r/Conservative threads that pop up about things like this, and my best guess is that DeSantis is the defacto next Republican Presidential Candidate and Trump will spend every second from now until then trying to burn the whole world down to stop himself losing the spotlight. He off-brand-retweeted (truth social) an article a week or two ago about how some of his supporters think he should run as a third-party independent in 2024, and there's not one shred of me that doubts he would do it if he thinks it will keep more eyeballs on himself.

So all that to say, these days being a staunch Trump-Supporter could even be a subtle mark against McCarthy, if anything.
