Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.), an undeclared-but-campaigning U.S. Senate non-candidate, is taking fire after telling donors he was “praying” during the 2022 midterms that the forecasted Republican “red wave” would only produce a “small” GOP House majority so the party’s most conservative wing could advance its agenda.
Conservative radio talk show hosts Mark Levin and Hugh Hewitt are among those blasting Mr. Rosendale for his comments during a Zoom conference last week between House Freedom Caucus members and 50 conservative donors arranged by Caroline Wren, a Republican fundraiser who has worked with Trump campaigns as well as those for Mr. Rosendale and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).
