Donald Trump Jr. on Wednesday criticized the Montana GOP for disinviting a pro-Trump speaker from a state convention.
“It's really disappointing to see some Republicans in Montana engage in leftwing cancel culture. It's even more disappointing that they would target one of my father's strongest and most loyal supporters – Alex Bruesewitz,” Trump Jr. wrote on X reacting to the news.
Bruesewitz, a Trump family friend, has been a vocal critic of Rosendale, accusing him of being a MAGA “poser” funded by the Democrats. He also claimed his criticism was based on Rosendale’s perceived “disloyalty” to the former president.

However, allies of Rosendale were quick to push back, suggesting Bruesewitz was acting with ulterior motives. They believe Bruesewitz is trying to help entrepreneur Tim Sheehy win a Montana Senate race that Rosendale is expected to join in March.
Bruesewitz, who planned to focus on Trump’s candidacy in his speech, sees the disinvitation as a further indication of Rosendale’s disloyalty to Trump and his allies.
“When you publicly attack one of Montana’s best, you should not be invited to speak to the Montana GOP,” the Montana Freedom Caucus said in a post on X.
Other than Trump Jr, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and former advisor to Trump, Kimberly Guilfoyle, were among others who criticized the move.
According to Real Clear Politics, at the national level, Trump held 73.6% support among GOP voters, While Haley trailed with 18.8% support.
