Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D.-Ill., took a shot at Donald Trump Wednesday by eating Skittles while questioning IRS Commissioner John Koskinen Wednesday during his impeachment hearing.

"Every now and then I get a bad Skittle," Gutierrez said, adding that the few "bad" candies didn't persuade him to "ban them all."

[Not a very good ad for skittles ,will they sue]

DJT Jr. should have used jellybeans as an example. It’s generic, plus that is how I remember the analogy being used.

The bright side, it’s keeping the Trump name in the media!

[“Every now and then I get a bad Skittle, ...”]

If the Skittle didn’t viciously cut his throat or set him on fire while alive, then it wasn’t a bad skittle....

We all know what this clown is all about. Unfortunately, the rest of America doesn’t know he’s a 5th-column tool.

What a great ad for Skittles and for the Trump Campaign...

Really, look at it...he ate the Skittles and like the bag says, you can't just eat one...hey...if they were poisoned then either way, it would prove a point for the Trump Campaign...

Nobody made him eat them...like crossing a street on a red light...some men think that ‘lady’ looks really good, and if they wait for the light to change she would be gone...take your changes...

"DJT Jr. should have used jellybeans as an example."

...a few Tylenol capsules filled with cyanide -- but that happened so long ago, it would go over most people's heads.

I had some Skittles today. I assiduously segregated them by color and flavor. So call me a "Colorist" or Flavorist". They are now on my "Skittle-list".

There are no bad skittles in the bag he is holding. All of those skittles assimilate and conform to the requirements the manufacturer imposes on them. None of them will kill a person. Now ... if there were the possibility of renegade poisonous skittles in the bag that could kill a person he would not eat them.

This will get much worse until the election. After that, I expect President Trump will take NO prisoners. Maybe he will even disinter some Dem voters.

Hey Luis,
What if one of them is a cyanide capsule!
Guess that doesn’t make them all bad.
No screening required.
Enjoy

People can grasp the point made in the Skittles as—Even the LIVs.

That is why the Left is so unhinged over it.

“The logic of the skittle analogy is unavoidable and valid. Good luck trying to discount its importance.”

HUH?

There just are no words .. complete dufus.

It was a “metaphor” - which the liberals don’t get .. and is just another item they always get wrong.

Replace “bad Skittle” with “Deadly Skittle” and perhaps the comparison would be meaningful. However, I doubt the Congressman would be quite so comfortable continuing to eat from that bowl.

Is this one of the guys that’s happy the Tea Party couldn’t get their tax status?
