GOP leaders deny working to defeat one of their own, but Huelksamp said they didn't help him. "Look at John McCain: He can't get himself to vigorously support Trump," Ward said. During his three terms in the House, Huelskamp frequently tangled with top GOP leaders. When we have groups that typically support conservative members group getting involved in a real distortion of voting records and trying to influence a primary." And without naming specific GOP leaders, Jordan said "they created this" because they gave Huelskamp's opponent an issue to use against him since he lost his seat on the Agriculture committee.
