GOP Lawmaker: Ryan And McConnell Are Slow Walking President Donald Trump's Agenda Because They Don't Like It

GP -- Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) went on with Varney and Co. to discuss the Trump agenda following Steve Bannon’s absence in the White House.

Gohmert told the FBN audience that Speaker Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are “slow-walking” President Trump’s agenda that they don’t like.

"Rep. Gohmert: If you look back before the election Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were totally opposed to the things that got Donald Trump elected. And I told the president back in June, you are being slow-walked. We are being slow-walked. This is exactly what happened in 2005. Dennis Hastert and Bill Frisk, you know they were kind of OK with reforming Social Security but they really didn’t want the heavy lift. They slow-walked everything… I’m telling you that is exactly the way some of our leadership is thinking again. We’re going to eke by."

Blog Author's Comments: During the past few months their inaction makes me wonder what the - resistance is they are really planning when they are back in session - instead of doing their jobs. Lets remember, the same Republicans in the House making excuses, are the same ones who just voted Ryan to be the Speaker again, there was only one defection. And the GOP lawmakers put a repeal of the Obamacare bill on Obama's desk in 2015 because they knew he wouldn’t sign it. They did not put a repeal bill on Trump's desk because they knew he would sign it.

McConnell could not make himself twist one more arm of either Mikulski or Collins and perhaps ask his fellow Senators to help convince them to do the right thing for the party and the president. There is no talking to McCain because of his hatred for Trump. Quite strange how short the memories of some voters are in many states, not to remember how the people they continue to reelect have previously voted in either the House or Senate. Case in point, Arizona with McCain.

Rep. Gohmert is confirming the reality, when Congress is back in session that nothing will be done, except more excuses or broken promises. Unless it is something President Trump can do on his own it won’t be completed. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell do not like Trump's agenda, yet his voters do. They also do not believe Trump belongs in the White House and their leader. McConnell has admitted that he was surprised that Trump won and Ryan held out with his so-called fake support for the president until after he was elected.

Rep. Gohmert: President Trump Was Lied To By Speaker Ryan

GP -- Yesterday, President Trump pulled the healthcare bill after it fell short of the votes needed to pass. The highly unpopular ‘Ryancare’ replacement of Obamacare left the Republicans divided.

Did Trump give Paul Ryan just enough rope to hang himself? It is no secret that Paul Ryan has contempt for President Trump and is working to sabotage him. This may be Trump’s plan to have Paul Ryan ousted and replaced.

It is a mixed bag of emotions today after the Obamacare repeal failed to pass. The replacement, dubbed ‘Ryancare’ was highly unpopular and often referred to as ‘Obamacare 2.0’. Of course we want Obamacare repealed, however; we don’t want another big government solution to replace it. Today’s ‘failure’ may have paved the path to a conservative solution.

Many people are now speculating why Donald Trump seemed to support this unpopular solution. It did fall on Paul Ryan’s shoulders as he gave a press conference afterwards looking very defeated. Calls for his resignation are getting louder and louder.

President Trump knows that with Paul Ryan as House Speaker, he won’t be able to accomplish any of his goals. He knows that Paul Ryan is working against him at every turn. This may have been the perfect set up to have Paul Ryan replaced.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) went on Varney and Co. on Friday and accused Speaker Ryan of lying to President Trump over the Obamacare bill.

Gohmert was one GOP lawmaker who would not support Ryancare. The vote was called off on Friday afternoon.

Louie Gohmert on President Trump: "I know he’s mad at me but God bless him. He’s been lied to. We’ve been lied to. This is a bad bill. It keeps Obamacare in place in perpetuity. He’s not going to be able to get rid of it… But I have got to stand up as unpopular as people I love think it is… I don’t enjoy being called a coward for standing up by myself… I deeply regret that Obamacare is going to be here to stay and that President Trump was handed such a terrible hand."

Blog Author's Comments: Do the people who voted for and support President Donald Trump remember what the Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said about the president? Paul Ryan: I'm not ready to support Donald Trump. "I'm just not ready to do that at this point." I don't believe he is now or will ever be ready.

Neither Ryan nor Mitch McConnell expected Trump to win the election. I think they were both surprised and also disappointed that Trump is now our president. Ryan and McConnell are now expected to work and attempt to do what the president asks of them and what is right for our country. They cannot coast as they would have if Hillary was the president. Ryan and the GOP members of the House should have been working on a new healthcare bill, that everyone could agree on. You don't wait until a few months before the President and Party wants to roll it out as a replacement for Obamacare. They should have had confidence and felt assured of being able to pass a very much improved healthcare bill.

I, of course, trust President Trump and Gohmert but have never cared for or had any trust with Paul Ryan. I believe Ryan's mission is to make Trump a one term president. There is a chance he could also obstruct Trump on tax reform. The entire House should come together and decide who should be the speaker, because the Republicans are not going to be able to retain control of the Presidency, House and Senate for many terms, which they have to do, with Paul Ryan as the Speaker.

Rep. Gohmert's Advice To Sheriff Dupnik - Quiet!

Former Judge to AZ Sheriff: 'Shut Up Before You
Do Any More Damage to the Prosecution's Case'
CNS News- Rep. Louis Gohmert (R.-Texas), a former prosecutor and judge and a current member of the House Judiciary Committee, is offering some advice to Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who has gained national attention since Saturday for his suggestions that radio and television talk shows were somehow responsible for the shooting attack in Tucson that took the lives of 6 people and wounded 14 others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

At the Capitol on Wednesday, Gohmert told CNSNews.com, “As far as advice for the sheriff, you know, he’s an elected official. He’s an American. He’s not prohibited by law from making the ridiculous statements that he has that do more to help the defendant than they do anyone else, including the victims. And so, I know as a former prosecutor, my advice to the sheriff would be to shut up before you do any more damage to the prosecution’s case.”



“Quit helping the defendant, sheriff,” Gohmert said. “But if he wants to help the defendant, he’s elected by the local people, and he’s free to help the defendant with their defense, if that’s what he chooses to do. And then the people can decide in the next election if that’s the kind of sheriff they want.”- Continue reading > >

Blog author's comments - My opinion - sheriff Dupnik is doing a cover up. I think he knew that Jared Loughner was quite possibly a bomb that could go off at any time, but he did nothing to try to stop it.

He has now provided Loughner's defense team something they will bring to court. Sheriff Dupnik could be a witness for the defense. When his term as Sheriff is over he will be gone.

The shooting was a lone act by an insane individual. The left-wing politicians and journalists will do and say anything for their own gain.
