....its members are not afraid to buck Mr. Trump as they did in opposing his attempt to repeal Obamacare in 2017....
Say what???
Is Andy saying the FC wanted to KEEP 0CommieCare?
Sum Ting Wong with this story.
Politicians - clowns who aren’t funny.
“Buck” Biggs...
It’s hard to fathom how Trump puts up with all these self-important pigs.
Jane,
the article has a little more explanation—They did not like the deal—I am thinking because it did not go far enough, not fact that they wanted to keep Obamacare...
Biggs later says they defend Trump, and I think they do majority of the time.
Buck Trump or Back Trump?
Fascinating...I have not ever seen anyone attack Freedom Caucus here...
During the obama years, they were some of the only Republicans standing in the gap.
Makes more sense if you read the whole article.
With regard to Ocare, my impression is the Freedom Caucus didn’t like the alternative. IIRC, there was bill that passed the House, but rejected by the Senate (thanks to McCain), but I don’t remember the details of the bill that failed.
yeah..that struck me as very odd
Are they insane?
Do they want a Dem president?
F heads
But the result was that Obamacare was not repealed and it was their fault.
That’s the way ‘we’ see it but as we’ve seen since 2015, they don’t give a damn if a dem is elected as long as their little worlds are not rocked. The hell with ‘us’; we’re there to serve them.
Mostly they back Trump.
Tempest in a teapot.
“Politicians - clowns who arent funny.”
So good!

There was some talk against them when they backed Paul Ryan for speaker after he gave his if I accept, you must never try to remove me ultimatum that should have been the easiest okay, youre out of contention ever.
