John Gibbs Touts Congratulatory Phone Call from Donald Trump After Wiping the Floor With ‘RINO’ Rep Peter Meijer in Primary Election

As we reported in the early morning, Republican House candidate John Gibbs pulled a stunning upset over U.S. House Rep Peter Meijer (R-MI), who voted to impeach Donald Trump in January 2021.

The Trump-endorsed Gibbs, who is now the GOP nominee for the 3rd Congressional district, shared a picture of himself talking to the 45th president in a tweet that he shared a little over an hour after election expert Dave Wasserman called the race.

“Just got a call from President Trump, congratulating me and my team on tonight’s big win! Thank you, Mr. President for your support!” Gibbs declared in the tweet.

Meijer issued a statement congratulating Gibbs on his victory seven minutes after Gibbs tweeted his thanks to Trump.

“This was a hard-fought primary campaign, and I want to thank everyone in West Michigan for their support,” Meijer began.

Meijer continued, “Representing my hometown in Congress has been a tremendous honor for which I will always be grateful.”

“I also want to congratulate my opponent, John Gibbs, on his victory tonight,” Meijer concluded.

In a statement that he just recently issued, Gibbs again thanked Trump as well as Dr. Ben Carson and even Meijer.

Gibbs reported that Meijer “graciously” called him to “offer congratulations and kind words of encouragement.”

“Peter fought a tough campaign and I wish him the best,” Gibbs added.
