Donald Trump issued an election brag on Wednesday that was met with harsh pushback from his own followers.
Trump took to Truth Social to advertise that one of his endorsed candidates, GOP State Senator Wendy Rogers, prevailed in her primary against a fellow Republican. The Arizona Mirror reports that Rogers "appears to have fended off a primary challenge from David Cook, a fellow GOP legislator, with early results showing her with a solid lead."
On his own social media network, Trump celebrated by posting an image prominently featuring photos of both himself and Rogers.

"Wendy Rogers wins!" the image states. "Endorsed by President Trump."
But the comments on Trump's social posting were overwhelmingly negative from his own supporters.
An account called Tellthetruth, @repentwatchandpray, said, "Hmmm funny how she did nothing about exposing the 2020 election fraud."
Francine62, @Francine62, was even more forceful.
"Wendy is a traitor," the account wrote.
Tony Stringer, @tonyleeds, was surprised Trump would endorse Rogers.
"Don't know why she is endorsed by Trump, she's a traitor and a liar," the account wrote.
Another user, @phnx22, appeared to give both Trump and Rogers the benefit of the doubt.
"Still not 100% on Wendy but congrats," they wrote. "Let's see what happens."
SparklesInTheNight, @sparklesInTheNight, was upset by Rogers' victory.
"Wendy hasn’t done diddly squat for the people!"
Other Trump fans appeared to insult Rogers based on her looks, suggesting she looks like a man.
Ramy_LaBroche, @Ramy_LaBroche, asked, "Wendell Rogers?"
@wjswanson simply stated, "Dude looks like a lady."
