President Donald Trump sent a blunt warning Thursday morning to the Freedom Caucus, demanding the House GOP group that blocked the Obamacare repeal bill stop fighting the ‘Republican agenda’.
Trump posted to Twitter, “The Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don’t get on the team, & fast. We must fight them, & Dems, in 2018!”

So he attacks the paper thin, red white and blue line of freedom, the Freedom Caucus.
More like they are RINOINOs voting against Obamacare II along with about half of the rest of the RINOs. That sorry excuse for a bill had over 400 opposed to it, as well as 87% of the country.
I fired off an email to the White House. I won’t stand for this.
“Hey Donald, dance with the one what brung ya.”
You mean the Rust Belt voters who voted for Obama twice?
He’s doing that. They got screwed. He promised to unscrew them. With Repeal and Replace. THAT is what he promised.
He just turns out to be a non politician. No one has explained to him that politicians lie and reverse their campaign positions.
He promised to Repeal and Replace. He’s having the sheer audacity to try to do exactly what he promised.
And you wackos don’t like it. You want him to be a liar.
Holy Crap! This is the third time this month Trump has threatened conservatives. I had to double check the date on the source link to be sure we’re not looking at old news here. But nope. This latest tweet/threat is dated 03-30-2017.
Did I just not read less than a week ago that Trump said he was done with this repeal/replace process? And that he was moving on?
So now why is he threatening conservatives again?
What The _____?
Nonsense.
If Trump wants to go after Dave Brat, he will become my political opponent.
He needs to rethink this.
That’s just BS disinformation
Hey, RealPolitik-boy, what part of ‘government may not force us to buy something simply because we draw breath’ are you not getting?
The "Tuesday Group" also declined to support Ryancare.
In any case, you know what you can do with your John Kasich, Jeb Bush, John McCain style of "conservatism."
Simple, Trump has never been a conservative. He is and always has been a supporter of “government care” and thinks that conservatives are the problem.
They went along with Ryan for Party Unity. Now that we see Ryan is a lowlife scumwad out to get Trump, they know better than to support RINOCare.
So what’s Trump’s excuse for supporting Ryan and this terrible package?
Justin Amash is that you?
Trump should look to the Freedom Caucus for guidance. They have been trying to drain the swamp too. He’s going after the wrong folks.
My congressman is part of the Freedom Caucus. He has my support come re-election because he has a proven track record. Trump is still in the evaluation period to me. He’s done some good stuff so far, but will lose my support if he attacks the good guys. The FC wasn’t even part of the original discussion on the Ryancare bill. Why was that?
As above:
Leader of the Freedom Caucus sits them all down and asks THE ONLY QUESTION THAT MATTERS.
**The Tuesday Group is 50 votes. We are 25. Can we get Obamacare 100% repealed with no replacement whatsoever?**”
The various foot stomping then goes on about Jesus sent us here to do that, and I will not vote for Ryancare and Those RINOs are filth and I don’t care if they have 50 votes.
The leader of the FC nods and points out . . . I asked a yes or no question. I don’t understand if your answers are yes or no. Which? Were you planning on shooting those 50 guys and then death threatening the families of their state’s governor who might name a replacement? Or were you planning to change House rules so that 25 votes is more than 50? What is the plan here for getting anything done?
President Trump is wrong here.
The contents of the Health Care bill matter.
Its not about “get on the team” and sell out 1/6 of our economy to Big Insurance and Big Pharm.Restore the People’s ability to chose their health care:
1. Completely repeal Obamacare, including the individual mandate.
2. Enable consumers to buy insurance across state lines.
3. Exclude all health insurance premiums from taxation, not just employer-sponsored insurance.
4. Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts.
5. Require price transparency from all healthcare providers.
6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states.
7. Allow U.S. consumers to buy drugs from overseas.
*******************************
This is so simple but apparently impossible for Ryan. Ryan is owned by Big Insurance and Big Pharm. The Industry wants a return to the pre Obama Care regime, after successfully convincing Americans over the last 7 to live with $6000.00 deductions, which if continued, will sky rocket industry profits.
Its Ryan’s job to give these profits to the Industry. He could care less about this perfectly fine 7 point regime that America wants, indeed what America was promised.
Ryan’s goal is to hoodwink America. President Trump will destroy his own presidency if he goes along with Ryan
Mr. President, you promised to fight for the People.
Your present joining the team position is not it.
Mr. President, in this instance it is YOU who must join the team of Americans First.
I see the NTs have crawled out of the primal ooze of perpetual losing. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has not picked the next Justice of the Supreme Court. Anything that’s getting done is ignored and anything that can’t fit into a half hour teleplay causes hysteria.
If Trump is going to shut the freedom caucus up.. then he’d better explain.. fully explain.. how the healthcare is going to work and what changes he is going to make.. and when.. and how he will make them ... to do a obama lite is not acceptable.. threats or no threats.
Trump had better get on some of these revelations before they become old news and no one is interested any more. hillary’s woes vanished when she did... she’s better off hidden... they do believe they are invincible and cannot be charged with anything they do.
So why do so many here believe he was for the most conservative solution to Obama Care?
Sure they are. One minute the Freedom Caucus is applauded for being supportive of the RINO Ryan for party unity and then beat over the head for that decision. This is nonsense. Freedom Caucus should stay strong and forget about taking one for the sake of the party again. Or wait, are they supposed to go along for the sake of the party again regardless of what their voters want?
