Virginia Rep. Bob Good, chair of the House Freedom Caucus, was confronted at the grand opening of a pro-Trump store by supporters of the former president.
A video showed the store owner accusing Good of trying to hijack the event for his own promotion by misleadingly suggesting it was organized by him.
“Bob Good won’t be electable when we get done with him,” Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita said.
Good has endorsed Ron DeSantis over Trump for 2024 and faced backlash.
Despite being told not to attend, Good showed up and tried shifting the focus from Trump to himself.
“I’m not against President Trump — I like what President Trump did. I just think we need eight years and so that’s why I endorsed Gov. DeSantis,” Good said in January.
The owner stated Good stood outside for hours after being asked to leave, undermining local pro-Trump leaders.
She criticized Good for not having the “courage of his convictions” as a Trump supporter after endorsing against him.
“I repeatedly asked Bob to leave. Once he finally relented and left our store, Bob and his paid campaign staff stood out front for over four hours trying to block people from entering our store. The whole thing was very embarrassing behavior for anyone, let alone a sitting member of Congress,” the owner stated.
The owner accused Good and his team of strategically opposing local GOP chairs who back Trump’s agenda, illustrating deliberate targeting of the former president’s loyalists.
“Bob is not a supporter of President Trump. I was disappointed to learn that Bob endorsed against President Trump this year and supported everyone except Trump in the 2016 primary.”
While Good “has a right to support any candidate he wants, he should have the courage of his convictions and not try to say that he is a Trump supporter,” the owner said.
“They removed me as Appomattox chairman on Saturday night and are threatening to remove the Buckingham Chair for her support of President Trump and other MAGA candidates. Bob and his staff are undermining the will of local committee members for Bob’s benefit and it is wrong,” the statement added.
“It greatly saddens me to have a congressman like Bob Good that does not support President Trump or the MAGA movement. Now more than ever I am working exclusively to get President Trump back in the White House and other America First candidates into office.”
