Discussion: McCarthy Says Amash 'Never Supported The President,' 'Just Looking For Attention'

Yet his constituents have no problem with that, so STFU.

Every single Republican who opines on Amash should be asked a simple question: have you read the entire Mueller Report? If not, their opinion lacks credibility.

Bets on whether Amash switch’s to D before or after he gets primaries?

Trump, the woman formerly known as Romney, and now McCarthy are pushing back hard against Amash, almost as if they’re afraid of something.

By the way, is McCarthy the designated goon now for Republicans? Seems like he’s done this before on the Sunday shows and seems ill-suited to the task, mostly due to his deer in the headlights appearance.

I think McCarthy appointed himself Trump’s minder and that includes this kind of clean-up bullshit.

Though he ait got a chance in hell of getting the Speaker’s gavel, McCarthy prolly feels that Trump will put in a good word for him.

He’s the House Minority Leader.

Was Minority Leader Pelosi given the same opportunities to speak?

Good thing no one in this administration ever stooped to being an attention prostitute.

I’ll bet he doesn’t switch. The guy is a teabagger.

This is so childish. Instead of just saying you disagree with him, think he’s completely wrong, whatever, he has to attack his character. That’s just stupid.

If I’m not mistaken Amash is a libertarian. Not a fit with the Ds.

No argument for why, just attack. Dumb blind loyalty is what they want.

I thought party leaders were supposed to deal with their dissent members in private instead of going on TV to call him/her out. Is this “rethugs in disarray”? Is McCarthy losing control of his members? Why has the media never asked those questions? The media is biased against Dems, whether consciously or not.

Actually, seems like a good chunk of his constituancy doesn’t support him. I am one who does support him in this, but I have always voted whomever runs against him. He is a Libertarian who runs as an R. Most of his thinking runs along the lines of, “I got mine so fu.”

McCarthy is spouting nonsense. If all Amash was doing was seeking attention he could have opined much earlier without reading the report.

I am in profound disagreement with many of Amash’s views but I have to salute his political courage on this one.

I think it’s because Republicans aggressively enforce thoughts outside of their bubble.

Secondly, they don’t have a good argument to marshal against Amash. And if they ever read the Report, they’d really come to realize that.

McCarthy should be the EASIEST Republican to shut down.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,”

That’s it. That’s really all you have to hammer him with, loudly, publicly, and repeatedly - and throw in Paul Ryan’s response for good measure.
