GOP Congressman Says His Constituents Want Them to Unite to Get Trump Agenda Accomplished

Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) told Fox News on Thursday that his constituents want the GOP to rally behind President Donald Trump and move forward with his agenda, because that’s why they voted for the president.

“This is about people like from my district, who swung 20 points for Donald Trump and helped him win Wisconsin. It’s people at my town hall who go, ‘listen, President Trump’s imperfect, and yeah, I see why people are frustrated with him, but in the end, the things he’s talking about - reducing regulation and the Trump agenda is what’s going to help my family out. Please help support him. You guys gotta find a way to come together and get the agenda accomplished, because it’s all about my family and my prosperity,’” Duffy said.

Asked whether his constituents are still with Trump, Duffy said, “My constituents? Absolutely. They haven’t left him yet. Again, do they get frustrated by some tweets and some statements that are imperfect? Absolutely, but they look at what he’s done, support him. No doubt.”

Asked whether his constituents are still with Trump, Duffy said, “My constituents? Absolutely. They haven’t left him yet. Again, do they get frustrated by some tweets and some statements that are imperfect? Absolutely, but they look at what he’s done, support him. No doubt.”

Duffy said his constituents are his boss, and that when people on both sides of the aisle are angry at you, it “really shakes them in their boots.”

“And that’s what everyone looks at - like, can I get re-elected. My boss is my constituents in central northern Wisconsin or senator has the whole state,” he said.

Bold FACE LIE - no true conservative wants to reach across the aisle to the obstructionists. The only way you win a war or even a skirmish is when one of the opponents is DEFEATED. The RATS are still running the Senate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He’ll be censured for sure. Truth telling is not permitted.

But, but, but what about those Confederate statues?

And what about the fact that McCain has brain cancer and wants Trump to fail? Isn’t his peace of mind more important than the health and the cost of health care for hundreds of millions of Americans?

Just asking.

they get frustrated by some tweets and some statements that are imperfect?

When the anarcho-communists tear apart our country using as an excuse civil war statutes and Trump tweets, they are merely what they claim to be - anarcho-communists. No one else should really have to say a word.

the biggest mistake being made by the establishment in both the republican party and the democratic party is the belief that President Trumps support is based on a cult of personality. the establishment believe if they can destroy the man that most of his followers will get back in line and support there globalist agenda. what they don’t see is that trumps support is political position based and most like myself don’t care about anything other then the positions...I was not a Trump supporter till he got the nomination and have been wonderfully surprised by him keeping to the positions that got him elected....the quickest way to remove my support would be him altering his position on two many things after being elected.

What do you mean "Please Wisconsin?"

Ryan represents a stupid Congressional district, not the entire state. He's not a Senator.

Is Ryan’s district pretty liberal?

That's a good point. But everyone in the state can get involved, write letters and contribute to his primary opponent.

I'm looking for polling on whether his district still supports him.

Former Trump campaign official, (Dave Bossie) says ‘loyal soldier’ Bannon now aiming at GOP Congress:

Former Trump deputy campaign manager Dave Bossie faced a hail of questions Sunday about the past and present Trump White House with top political strategist Steve Bannon gone — answering many of them by warning that Bannon will now go after leaders of the GOP-led Congress.

“He’s going to be an important voice for the president as it relates to leaning into Congress, specifically in trying to get the failures of leadership in the House and Senate to … really take hold of the president’s agenda,” Bossie told “Fox News Sunday.”
