The lawmaker on Saturday parsed his words about supporting congressional oversight of a whistle-blower’s complaint against President Trump.

Republican member of the House of Representatives spent Saturday clarifying his support for congressional oversight of a whistle-blower’s complaint against President Trump, which the lawmaker’s office contended was not the same as endorsing the impeachment inquiry being led by Democrats.The congressman,

Mark Amodei, rejected the distinction that he was the first Republican House member to support the inquiry, with his spokeswoman,

Logan Tucker, saying that the word “inquiry” gave the wrong impression that the congressman supported Mr. Trump’s impeachment.That could be problematic for Mr. Amodei, who is chairman of Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign in Nevada, a state the president lost by about 27,000 votes to Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Come on more and more Rs are gonna start to break under the pressure of NOTHING REAL.

They are cowards and fear dems and the media more than anything.

And that’s a shame.

Is it really any wonder President Trump lost Nevada with Mark Amodei in charge of his election campaign in that state?

At first I doubted the veracity of the MSM report. However, now that his “spokeswoman” has come out and basically admitted as much but, and is trying to obfuscate his remarks by essentially a repeat of, “it depends on what the meaning of is is” mealymouthed excuses, I believe this fool actually put his foot and leg in his mouth and, is now realizing the political danger of his statement.

Typical politician attempting to Virtue Signal but, not so strongly he can’t try to have it both ways. Depending upon which way he thinks the wind is blowing.

They won’t have to do that.

The GOP will be dead.

“That could be problematic for Mr. Amodei,”

Really? Could be? Spineless worm.

They need do nothing. Us trolls and deplorables will do their dirty work for them.

In principle and reality, our uni-government, already looks and acts like a politburo, with gestapo/SS type police, with near 100% complicit hardcore anti-American anti-christian marxist/socialist mass media and education appendages.

Well, as a Nevada resident AND a voter, I won’t tiptoe around this. I will not vote for him, I will vote instead for a Trump-supporting Republican, else sit out voting for that office and let the Democrat win since there is no difference. In two years we can hopefully then find a credible Trump-Republican for that district. Amodei might as well quit now as every recent Never Trumper has lost once outed crossing Trump in Nevada.

Hey Amodei,

If you can’t say you’re for Trump, you’re against him.

Very stupid statement.

People on our side are scared, and then we read comments like this and those from Romney and they’re not comforting.
