Gowdy to endorse Rubio: report
TheHill ^ | 12/26/15 | Bradford Richardson

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) is expected to endorse Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for president when he campaigns with him in Iowa next week, Townhall.com reported Saturday.

The influential South Carolina lawmaker will attend town hall rallies on Tuesday and Wednesday during Rubio’s three-day tour through the important caucus state, the Rubio campaign said in a press release Saturday.

"Marco is a rock solid conservative and a strong leader we can trust,” Gowdy said in an accompanying statement. “I look forward to campaigning in Iowa with him, and introducing my good friend to voters across the state."

A Rubio campaign aide told CNN that Gowdy will offer Rubio his "full support," but stopped short of saying it will be an official endorsement for president.

Gowdy will make appearances at town halls in Clinton, Sioux City, Pella, North Newton and Boone.

The three term representative is best known for leading the House investigation into the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, in which he presided over testimony from former secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Gowdy introduced Rubio at several events in his early-voting home state last weekend.

He has also co-hosted town halls in South Carolina with Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), which were attended by Republican primary candidates Ben Carson an...

You will never see a Cruz/Rubio - Rubio/Cruz ticket. Rubio is a sneaky, slimy, slithering snake and Cruz would never partner with him.

Stands to reason. This jackass has not done one thing to tarnish the media’s image of Clinton. Does he not see the threat this woman poses to the our country, our liberty, our lives?
And then he endores a kid with an ego almost as large as clinton’s.....ass.
An ambitious sellout of a senator anxious to please his money people with talk of more war and debt.
Gee.......who are this ass’ s backers? Fraudster wall street transnational bankers? Saudi petro dollar recyclers? Israel first zionistas?
Go to hell with the rest of the liberty destroying deceivers, Trey Gowdy.
I guess you really are as stupid as you look!!!!!
Something about a narrow head......something was left out.

We need a USAG who go after anti-religious expression activist states that use state equality laws which are not based on constitutionally enumerated rights to wrongy trump constitutionally enumerated rights. Such state policies violate Section 1 of the 14th Amendment imo.

I was earlier thinking Rep. Gowdy, but he is evidently a constitutionally low-information politician as evidenced by his tentative support for low-information Rubio. Corrections welcome.

Proof of what I've always suspected.

NOW WE KNOW WHY GOWDY'S "INVESTIGATIONS" GO NOWHERE.

It’s why I personally do not trust anyone in D.C. or directly connected to them such as contractors. They’re part of the machine, they know who butters their bread. They understand they have special personal interest at stake.

I’ve listened to all of Trump rallys and interviews and not once have I hear him say anything about Gowdy being his A.G.

A lot of people on here have said that, but I haven’t heard it come out of Trump’s mouth, and until that happens, it’s hear say....

Gowdy had a few good moments that brought him to the attention of many, but he’s just another GOPe guy who’ll work for their agenda, including amnesty and supporting Rubio, the latest GOPe preferred candidate who seems to have some chance of moving up.

Abandon Washington, DC.

Create the District of Trump. Make Russia pay for it.

Exactly right on Rubio. And Gowdy will sully his reputation should he actually endorse the duplicitous, treacherous LIAR Marco Rubio.

Can I see evidence of Trump offering the AG position to Gowdy? A video or audio of Trump stating that would be fine.

Thanks.

Much ado about nothing.

Rubio will take Goudy down with him.

Trump on Twitter:
“@TGowdySC for Attorney General under President Trump”

Was it a formal offer, no of course not. But yes, DJT said it himself. It’s not just rumor.

That won’t help Rubio, but it will hurt Gowdy.

Judicial Watch has been running rings around Gowdy's committee

In another culture that level of disgrace could have only been erased by the act of seppuku.

It’s about amnesty and the US Chamber, Gowdy has been and is for amnesty. Did he actually accomplish anything with the Benghazi hearings? has hillary suffered any consequence other than inconvenience? What has Gowdy actually done that is conservative?
