Dem. Rep. Cuellar: WH Called Me For Speaking Out against President
NRO ^ | July 9, 2014 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 07/09/2014 10:04:52 AM PDT by don-o

Representative Henry Cuellar (D., Texas) hasn’t been shy about speaking out against the Obama administration’s handling of the border crisis, and that apparently earned him a phone call from the someone at the White House.

“Yes, I have,” Cuellar said on Fox & Friends on Wednesday when asked if he had received a talking-to. “But let me just say that I’m more concerned not about who gets angry at me at the White House; I’m more concerned about my constituents who want to find a practical solution to this question that we’re facing down there at the border.”

“Who called you?” host Brian Kilmeade asked.

“We’ll just leave it like that,” Cuellar responded.

“Did they tell you to pipe down?” Kilmeade pressed again.

“We’ll just leave it like that,” the congressman repeated. “But notice what I’m doing: I’m still talking about it.”

Hope he doesn’t fold like a RINO.

The Fascist in Charge hates it when the people mock him. Representatives are starting to realize they work for the people and not the party. Finally

OK Cuellar has one testicle by actually criticizing the administration —but he should have let the fur fly —then he would really have both testicles.

His office phones must be ringing off the hook! Not only is he a dem, he’s an hispanic dem. I’ve heard of him before, but I don’t know if he’s conservative or a liberal or what. But I think it is safe to assume that many, if not most, of his constituents are dems and I’d reckon a goodly number are hispanic.

Despite what the “leaders of the community” and their white lib enablers would have one believe, hispanic people aren’t all having a group love fest all the time, any more than white people or any other group of people are.

I’m sorry to say this, but the Guatemalens, especially, are bad news.

Give him a break. The testosterone rush takes a bit of getting used to.

The Democrat congressman wants to appear to be brave for speaking out against Obama’s behavior toward the border crises. The founding fathers risked their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to give us our Constitution. The current members of congress, with all the protections provided by the Constitution, won’t even risk the next election.

The congressman got the call from the White House but his courage melted like butter on a sidewalk in Arizona in July when asked who made the call and what did they say. I don’t want him in a foxhole with me.

While the DIMs may start criticizing Clown Prince nobama, they own him. They cannot distance themselves from this several year love-fest they have had with this lawless anti-American poltroon. DIMs/LIBs/RINOs are all not to be trusted and are all mentally ill.

Henry Cuellar please pick up the white courtesy phone. The IRS is on the line for you.

Let this be a lession to all people in positions of power:

Always record your phone callls, because of someone from the white house threatens you, you can release the information to the media and then they dare not hurt you.

Something bad or accidental happens to you and the whitehouse is put under the microscope....

WH to Rep Cuellar” “Its the War on Women that is the thing most threatening right now. Get with it. It is the crisis at the drug store counter and not the border.”

” the whitehouse is put under the microscope”

This whitehouse will never be put under a microscope. They have to have a republican in there for that.

I thought from what's written here that he handled the call just right....with humor about not backing down. That kind of approach might be the best way to get other dems on board criticizing the pres.

It's kind of an "emperor has no clothes" situation. When the dem didn't back down, Obama's WH calling demonstrated they're just bullies only interested in their own agenda.

He also said he was AGAINST building a wall.

He’s still an anti-America/leftwing socialist.
