Rep. Trey Gowdy: There Is A Hunger For Conciliation And Unity In This Country
RCP video ^ | 11-29-2017 | Tim Hains

Posted on 12/29/2017 8:18:53 AM PST by Sir Napsalot

Republican congressmen Trey Gowdy joins former Rep. Jason Chaffetz and Rep. John Ratcliffe to reflect on the last year in Congress on FNC's 'The Ingraham Angle.'

Gowdy, as the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said he strongly supports Paul Ryan as Speaker but his fellow South Carolinian Sen. Tim Scott is the "best person in politics."

"He and I are virtually inseparable," Gowdy said. Gowdy and Scott are currently co-writing a book about their "unlikely" friendship. "We have different views on some pretty serious issues, but we have just chosen to have a friendship some would call unlikely because we are more interested in the conciliation than we are the conflict," Gowdy said about Scott.

"Contrast is fine," Gowdy added. "I'm glad we don't all pull for the Cowboys, I'm glad we don't all go watch the same movie at the same time, but the contrast has morphed into conflict. And what I hear almost everywhere I go is this sense of angst, this divisiveness."

"We are the United States of America, so I would love for us to spend almost as much time celebrating what we have in common as we do harping on the differences," he concluded.

If Gowdy and the other pretenders in Congress
do not have someone in handcuffs for the murders
of Seth Rich, Justice Scalia, the IRS
Atrocity and Uranium 1 by the first week in
January, they should not be surprised that
they will NEVER Have reconciliation with the
People to whom the lied to get into office.

Gowdy is indeed Ashley Wilkes, always wanting to be the southern gentleman to his enemy. Trump is Rhett Butler who doesn't give a damn, and who is feared by his enemies.

Who was that arrogant POS in the earlier segment on foreign policy who was so rude and said President Trump was not respected worldwide?
I guess he didn’t know Israel was naming a train station in honor of the President.

Conciliation comes from swamp draining.

WE agree!As for Trey— I suspect he is speaking as a politician—Indeed I would accept unity but America has attempted unity by appeasement /by ceding to the Democrat.It did not work!

Sorry, Trey. I DO NOT want ANY unity with people who want to destroy my country, my way of life, my soul, my children and snuff out my very existence. I’m done trying to be nice. Also, just because YOU say the country wants unity does NOT make it true.

When are you going to learn Trey??? You want unity??? Then YOU do the kumbaya thing. Just remember, the libs are lower than snake poop and will bite the sh*t outta you.

You and me both! I do not want “unity” with people who wish me dead. I do not want unity with people who want America dead. I am completing the process of dispersing ALL lefties from my life. They are scummy, traitorous, evil, lying people. Why have toxic people around?

The best thing to do isn’t “unity” with those who hate you. The best thing to do is to avoid them and to crush them politically.

I want fighters, not lovers in Congress. The stakes are too high.
