Trey Gowdy, a man seen as a conservative hero to many for his unrelenting pressure on Democrats, is a loser according to Donald Trump.

As The Washington Examiner reports, Trump's latest attack on a conservative comes as word breaks that an endorsement could be looming:

Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy sent waves through the GOP presidential race with word he will endorse Marco Rubio. The announcement — the Rubio campaign is touting Gowdy's upcoming trip to Iowa on Rubio's behalf — became the subject of angry tweets from Donald Trump supporters, who quickly denounced Gowdy as a RINO and a fake conservative. (Gowdy's rating from the American Conservative Union is a near-perfect 97 for the nearly five years he has served in the House.)

Trump claimed during an appearance on Fox News that Gowdy had fumbled the Benghazi hearings and not been able convict Hillary Clinton in the minds of the American public:

Trump also tweeted Sunday morning: "Rubio finally gets an endorsement — from Benghazi loser Gowdy." In another tweet Trump said, "Face it, Trey Gowdy failed miserably on Benghazi. He allowed it to drag out and in the end, let Hillary get away with murder."  

Trump has made a habit of attacking anyone in the conservative movement that comes out against him or supports another candidate.
