Repub Congresswoman Taped: Freaking Over Trump.

?1497014150

Behind Closed Doors

A secret recording shows U.S. Rep. McSally has some concerns about reelection


&quot Antipathy towards Trump is) basically being taken out on me. Any Republican member of Congress, you are going down with the ship. And we're going to hand the gavel to Pelosi in 2018, they only need 28 seats and the path to that gavel being handed over is through my seat. And right now, it doesn't matter that it's me, it doesn't matter what I've done. I have an 'R' next to my name and right now, this environment would have me not prevail."

Martha McSally

He's been making the cable news rounds this week. Easy to find, but don't be surprised if he pretends his name is Dan.

IF the GOP demonstrates the integrity necessary to impeach Trump on their own, America will see them as the party of integrity, honesty and virtue and the DP can kiss it's ass goodbye.

Let's be glad the GOP isn't smart enough to figure that out.

They could easily remove this stink if they wanted to but they are to craven to stand up to his base of idiots and fox news.

You can't repudiate the man while using him to make your agenda reality. He signs your bills; you own him, and are owned by him.

I have sent several e-mails to her to complain about issues, such as the AHCA.
I get a form response--"Thank you for your note..." etc. Never an actual
response.
