Trey Gowdy calls Dan Pfeiffer a ‘demagogic self-serving political hack’
Washington Post ^ | 7/23/2013

(snip)

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), who chairs a House subcommittee on border security, called Pfeiffer a “demagogic self-serving political hack who can’t even be elected to a parent advisory committee, much less Congress.”

(snip)

Pfeiffer had tweeted a link to an editorial in La Opinion, a Southern California newspaper aimed at Latinos, that was critical of Cantor’s proposal. The piece “nails the cruel hypocrisy of the GOP immigration plan: allow some kids to stay but deport their parents,” Pfeiffer wrote.

Gowdy’s comments came at the end of an hours-long hearing and as he was thanking four witnesses for being constructive and professional. Here’s the full quote:

“When I see quotes like I did today from someone named Dan Pfeiffer, who apparently works for the president. I think it is the same Dan Pfeiffer that once said that the law is irrelevant. And he tweeted out today that our plan is to allow some kids to stay but to deport their parents. He summarized this entire debate with that tweet. So I want to compliment you and thank you for not being a demagogic, self-serving political hack who can’t even be elected to a parent advisory committee, much less Congress, which is what Mr. Pfeiffer is. I want to thank you for not being that and understanding that these are complex issues where reasonable minds can perhaps differ.”

Gowdy is smart, articulate, and fearless and one of the few in Congress who is driven by values rather than political expediency.

His border security committee is important, but think what we’d have if he rather than that weak-sister Issa were investigating Benghazi and the IRS scandals.

It is nice to hear someone get down and dirty with the dirt bag rats. I hope he keeps it up. He might restore some semblance of faith in Republicans, which currently hovers somewhere between 0 and minus 1.

I wish Trey wouldn’t be so reticent and would just tell us what he really thinks of Pfeiffer. C’mon, Trey — let it out. :=)

Gowdy is pro amnesty idiot ,and his kids bill will let the whole family come here eventually!

He is a sneaky stealth K st bagman.

Last week , he actually stated who would pick the blueberries if we forced the illegals to go home !

Look it up , July 15 at NRO !

You know Gowdy is a pro amnesty ?

He was varying about the poor blueberry pickets last week.

This whole sorry ass side show like this exchange are for the bubbas.
They want to suckers us into falling for this we are fighting the Dems while in the back room the K st folks already have the bill written up .

They want to pas a bill and then let the senate bill get rammed thru.
