Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) blasted Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) on Monday for Schumer's criticisms of the House Intelligence Committee chairman.

Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), has been criticized for a trip to the White House he made to go through classified material related to possible surveillance over President Donald Trump during his transition. After Schumer asked Nunes to be removed from his position as chairman, Gowdy went after Schumer, Fox News reports.

"I just love it when Senator Schumer gives Republicans advice on what we ought to do," Gowdy said on Monday. "Devin is doing exactly what the chairman is to do."

"I wish Senator Schumer and some of the other Democrats would be interested in the authenticity and reliability of the underlying data the means by which it was acquired," Gowdy continued.

Gowdy has served on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and was an active watchdog of the Obama administration.

It makes zero sense to recuse yourself from a committee that was intentionally designed with partisan members from both parties on it. The chairman is not a referee or a judge. He is the lead person for the majority party.

Ig would be like asking Jordan to recuse himself because as the leading Bulls player he kept scoring for the Bulls.

Schumer is in lala land. The referees are in the courts. If any thing illegal is done, they call the balls and strikes.

Shouldn’t Ryan be the one saying this?

[Red Badger]

I thought that the two houses of Congress did not criticize each other.....................

[FlingWingFlyer]

Schumer and Schiff need to recuse themselves from the human race.

[raybbr]

If I were anyone in the House I would tell that POS to stay out of our business. The idea that a senator can tell any member of the House what to do is absurd. It shows how deranged these dems are.

[ManHunter]

That would require balls and leadership; two things in very short supply in the speaker’s office.

[Socon-Econ]

Weak response by Gowdy. Schumer had no right to expect Nunes not to brief the President of the United States.

[ManHunter]

Maybe Schumer should step down as Minority Leader after his unhinged tirade last night.

[Sirius Lee]

Shouldn’t Ryan be the one saying this?

House Speaker Failure(R)INO, is laying low this week.

It’s instances like this that convince me Gowdy would be 100x better as Speaker than Ryan. Amazing that not even the FC is agitating for Ryan to resign. He’s a horrible Speaker.

[dandiegirl]

I think the democrats are VERY interested in the authenticity of the Intel. That's why they are becoming completely unhinged and wanting everyone that discovers anything to be fired. Something bad going on with the dems and they are freaking that it will come out....in my opinion.

Bullseye!

Ryan is a disaster. Can I now say I’m glad he never was VP? I would have preferred a win, but somehow without Ryan.

As Lou Dobbs regularly reminds us, in 16 years Ryan has passed 3 bills, all of the renaming a post office variety.

[monkeywrench]

Some dems have demanded ryno take his place on the committee.

[xzins]

I agree with you.

However, let’s not forget that liberals hate truth wherever it pops up. :>)

[FlingWingFlyer]

‘RAT, Shifty Schiff is scared to death of Nunes who is trying to shine the light of truth on this attempted coup of the Trump administration by Schiff and his Bolshevik comrades.

[samantha]

Especially a MInority leader. He has got a huge butt hurt because he is not majority leader. He is mean,obnoxious,and high on himself. I wish he would never admit he is a Jew,he gives Jews baaad publicity. Every day he makes a bigger schmuck of himself.

[RoseofTexas]

I'm afraid nothing will be done with the tapping/surveillance too much is at risk and the swamp people yield too much power, more power then all three branches!!! The spineless pubs are just that...the rats neutered them eons ago! The evil demonic rats will always rule with an iron fist while the Keystone pubs are just that...stupid and spineless..☹️

Agree! Yesterday Bill Mitchell tweeted:

‘It’s been 18 years since Republicans have had a Speaker the base does not despise. Can we pick someone THE PEOPLE actually like?’

Sums it up.
