'Stupid': Bob Good takes risky jab at Trump ahead of high stakes primary

Alt-right Freedom Caucus chair Rep. Bob Good took a surprising jab at former President Donald Trump ahead of a Virginia primary that has more resting on it than his own claim to power, according to a new report.

Good — who will find out Tuesday how his staunch Trump support matches up against a political outsider who has the former president's endorsement in Virginia's 5th Congressional district — shared his views on a cease and desist letter he received from the former president over campaign signs.

“I’m not talking about stupid topics," Good told Politico Tuesday. "That’s a stupid topic.”

Good's opinion stands in contrast to Trump's, who ordered his lawyers late last month to take action against the Virginia Republican he has declared is "bad."

At question was Good's usage of Trump's name on his campaign yard signs, despite the former president's endorsement of former Navy SEAL John McGuire.

"That is a fraud on the donors," lawyers told Good.

Good has maintained his support for Trump notwithstanding and created what one political analyst described as a civil war within Trumpworld, pitting MAGA bigwigs such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Steve Bannon against each other.

Politico's Olivia Beavers argued the conclusion of Tuesday's primary could reverberate beyond Virginia and signal a dark future for the MAGA movement as a whole.

"If Rep. Bob Good were to lose, he would be the first sitting chair in the Freedom Caucus’ nearly decade-long history to be defeated — a loss that would embolden critics of the increasingly fractious bloc," she wrote.

"If he wins, he’ll have done it despite strong opposition from former (and possibly future) President Donald Trump and only mild backing from Republican leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson — signaling friction ahead."
