A GOP congressman whose reporter fiancée was insulted by Donald Trump has vowed to become a major thorn in the presidents side.
Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick on Wednesday pledged to torpedo Trumps $1.8 billion deal with the DOJ just hours after the president disrespected the congressmans wife, Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich.
Heinrich had tried to ask Trump earlier in the day whether hed had a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but the president ignored her and instead went on a long diatribe against Fitzpatrick.
Well, her husband votes against me all the time. Can you imagine? Trump said, apparently addressing the other reporters.

This is all theatre. He does what he is told. Cant wait to vote for Bob Harvie in November.

(3,470 posts)If these guys had the spine they were born with, they wouldn't "threaten" to be a thorn in his side. They'd leave the damn party. They don't have to become Democrats...not sure that we would want or trust them. But he could become an Independent, make their majority in the House even smaller. give Mike Johnson nightmares, and hopefully cause Trump's head to explode.
But what am I thinking...expecting Republicans to do the right thing?
