Shawn Ryan Sparks MAGA Backlash After Slamming Trump Over $400 Million Qatar Jet
3 articles · Updated · AlterNet · Jun 2
Shawn Ryan drew immediate backlash from MAGA Republicans after telling Megyn Kelly he sees "no positivity" from the Trump administration and calling it "very self-serving."
Ryan pointed to several examples he cast as corruption, including a $400 million jet from Qatar, a drone company, an Executives Club venture and IRS-audit concerns tied to Todd Blanche.
Trump loyalists on X accused Ryan and Kelly of betraying MAGA, with critics calling them "woke," saying Ryan had "sold out," and arguing the cited episodes were legal business or government matters.
The flare-up highlights a public split inside conservative media, where criticism of Trump from prominent right-leaning figures can quickly trigger loyalty tests across the MAGA base.
