On Sunday morning's edition of Face the Nation, United States Congressman Mike Turner (R-Ohio) reverted to a "both sides" response when pressed by CBS moderator Margaret Brennan on how he felt about having Republican members of Congress who aided former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election serve on powerful House committees.
Brennan:
I also want to ask you what leadership looks like with Republicans in charge. You are also on House Oversight. There of the 26 Republican members on the Committee, 19 of them denied the results of the 2020 election. Your colleagues now include Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, Lauren Boebert, Scott Perry they all played critical roles in the former president's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Do you have any concerns about working with these lawmakers? I mean, you're very much a centrist.
Turner:
Well, you know, even on the Democrat side, there's been a number of people who objected to President Bush's reelection and voted against certifying his election. So there's long history among both sides...
Brennan cut him off:
I'm asking about you, your party, and your colleagues.
