Earlier this week, Sen. Jeff Sessions said that the president was deliberately dismantling our law enforcement system. Megyn Kelly of Fox News asked Rep. Gowdy about that.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, a former prosecutor, agrees with Sen. Sessions that the president is systematically dismantling the nation’s laws, but he believes it is to win elections not to pursue an agenda. They [the administration] do however fundamentally view their role differently, he added.
Attorney General Eric Holder recently claimed that illegal immigration is a civil right, if that is so, Gowdy says, that is like saying you and I have the right to vote in Madagascar.
Gowdy believes President Obama is dismantling our laws, not for anarchy, but for electoral success. The administration is motivated by the fact that they get away with it.
“What about the drug laws. He’s [Eric Holder] trumping congressional statute with a memo,”
...
Over 99% of the people here illegally did not face removal last year.
Deportation rates are close to zero. That’s the truth, he affirmed.
Sen. Sessions said that our law enforcement system is in a state of collapse. It’s a deliberate plan by the President of the United States. It’s wrong. People need to stand up to it. Americans need to be aware of it and I think the American people are beginning to do so.

Their friendship may offer the U.S. House its best chance to find agreement on how to secure the border, overhaul procedures for legal immigration and deal with the 11 million people in the country illegally.
> but he believes it is to win elections not to pursue an agenda.
Uh, what’s the point of winning elections if you don’t have an agenda? Even if that agenda is simply the enrichment of yourself and your ideological fellow travelers.
You DID launch into one of the widely-publicized mischaracterizations of Gowdy’s position statements regarding amnesty. (Dem talking points) The two Reps don’t appear overly friendly in that not-recent picture.
And the picture and link you provided do not support your accusation against me that I have been mischaracterizing Gowdy here on FR.
You may be right and I may be wrong about Gowdy but I think not. Let’s wait and see how your accusatory efforts against him on FR pan out.
Had you seen the video on C-SPAN you might think different. All I am saying is be cautious.
If Palin used his hairdresser there would be rebellion on FR. :)
If you look back at your original post you asserted that anyone that disagreed with your point, it would be a mischaracterization. I just used your statement back at you, no malice intended.
I’ll bet Trey Gowdy wishes he was in Congress so he could do something about it. Oh wait.....
You absolutely did, now you deny that you did.
If you watched the C-Span video that picture came from, what did you learn?
