“Some of these things, I don’t know what Donald Trump is thinking. … I don’t know where Donald Trump is coming from.”.
Don’t you think these things are important to know before endorsing ANY candidate?
He’s like the person who sleeps with someone he picked up at a sleazy bar when he’s drunk.
And now he’s sobering up.
Don’t blame this on “beer goggles”.
Not a surrogate? Gosh. I thought he was the intellectual force behind the current Trump strategy.
No, sir, you ARE a surrogate, and you ARE a congressman, and you most certainly ARE an asshole.
You say you don’t know where Donald Trump is coming from, but I know where YOUR ideas are coming from, Duncan - right out of your ass!
Surrogate? I think the word that best describes you is sycophant.
Duncan the dunce cries like a baby: as the old saying goes, if you can’t handle the heat…
For those who don’t know about this e-hole, he currently has at least two complaints filed against him—the Federal Election Commission and the Office of Congressional Ethics. He allegedly spent thousands of dollars of campaign funds on personal items, including video games, an oral surgeon, a garage door, a surf and skate shop and private school tuition. In addition, there was a trip to Italy with his wife with more than $2,000 on restaurants, hotels and train travel in Rome, Florence and Positano during the Thanksgiving holiday week in 2015. (He really goes after those Italian votes, doesn’t he?)
Then there was the item listed on his disclosure as “food/beverages” at an Italian jewelry store.
His response? The usual–mistakes, clerical errors or legitimate campaign expenses.
Right.
Sounds like the perfect Trump surrogate.
when you lie in the mud with pigs you can’t wipe the mud off fast enough and even then it still stains…
plus it pisses the pigs off especially when they realize that they’re smarter than you…
“e-hole” was supposed to be “a-hole”, of course. Sorry.
I had to go read about that. Just freakin’ perfect. It’s only $216, enough for a set of earrings or something, but the beauty is the luxuriousness of the grift in ordinary people’s eyes. Italian jewelry store. That’s just media catnip right there. He’s larking around Italy and buying these little baubles and sticking the taxpayer with it as food and expenses. Delicioso!
I am a doctor. I can’t cure anybody else but myself.
I believe he is following orders: to shut up if he doesn’t agree with everything. Good job,big guy!
Yep. But remember, mattinpa, It’s OK If Republicans Do It.
Oh, yes, of course, a mere clerical error. Who among us has never confused a receipt from an Italian jewelry store with a receipt for a perfectly legitimate lunch while on travel for business? Happens to me all the time.
It’s what folks call “Coyote Ugly.”
The co-chair for Donald Trump’s U.S. House Leadership Committee played defense on Thursday, insisting he was “not a surrogate” and shouldn’t have to answer for everything the real estate tycoon says.
You're a U.S. House representative that will vote on policies and initiatives put forward by Trump if he's elected. The public has every right to know ***PRECISELY*** what you think about his ***EVERY*** utterance. Avoiding or refusing to give your opinions of his stated governing intentions is dereliction of your elected duties. So no, keeping your mouth shut is ***NOT*** an option.“I am a congressman. I can’t speak for anybody else but me.”
Umm…doesn’t the job “congressman” pretty much require you speak for others, like your constituents? Isn’t that the whole basis of “representation”?
