Report: Anti-Trump GOP House Members ‘Happy to Take Out President’ Over Mueller, Looming Loss of Congress

Never-Trump leader Erick Erickson reported Tuesday night via Instagram and Twitter an alleged conversation he had with an unnamed Republican Congressman over his and many of his fellow GOP Congressmen’s hatred of President Donald Trump and their willingness to “take out the President” through impeachment if he fires Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

This would be their punishment for what they fear to be the loss of their Congressional majorities in the House and Senate come the November elections.

Erickson said the Congressman is afraid to speak out publicly because he would be primaried and voted out by the Trump supporters in his district.

There is some truth to what he said even though he’s a grandstanding jackass. I’m sure there are Collins-types in the House that don’t really want to win and hope that Trump fails. Remember, all these people care about is lining their own pockets. That’s what they got into government for. Trump is an existential threat to them because actually getting something done shows how useless people like Collins and Flake have really been for the last 20-30 years.

I’ve heard this “fire Mueller” hysteria for months on end. Trump knows that is what Mueller, and the rest of his enemies want him to do, so he’s not going to do that. I’ve always thought that the gop would be willing to throw the election to the dems, lost both houses, just to take out Trump, who is the swamps common enemy.

The republicans (so-called) wish to go back to the minority in Congress so they can sit back and enjoy the perks and claim to their constituents that they would love to help but they don’t have the majority...

Lazy, good for nothing “professional politicians”...

"Maybe that is why ryno is retiring, he knows there is no way he gets re-elected after he participates in the coup."

Could be! The guy who was going to run against him is looks pretty solid:

Nick Polce for Congress

Hopefully he can retain the seat, and be an actual conservative improvement...we're going to need all the help we can get to keep pelosi from impeaching Trump.

What a joke!

With any decent level of support for President Trump, the GOP would find itself in a dominant majority position.

Instead, they've been acting like cowards —and globalists—while the President dragged several of their ass-s across the finish line in 2016.

President Trump's greatest threat certainly isn't the People—it's the swamp. They'd all like to get rid of him and go back to business as usual. The People—regardless of political persuasion—should be well aware by now of the fact that letting Washington DC return to business as usual is the last thing any citizen should want.

I think that if the President can frame this struggle as the People vs. the Swamp—in other words, what it really is—he will be able to survive any challenge. But he will need to be on top of his game. If there's really no plan, he's likely to fail. If there is a plan, let's hope he's been thinking ahead all along.

One President can't do this alone. He will need the People behind him, as well as many in his party. I'm not as worried about the former as I am the latter...

Erick Erickson is a piece of fat feces of a stick. From reading this article its obvious he is lying. He adds a little too much detail ( a sign of a lie )., such as the conversation he had with the Congressman was in a Supermarket. Baloney

Seems like everyday after following the going on in this Republican Congress I draw ever closer to changing my voter registration to independent and never voting for a Republican again. It may be best to let them lose it all and built a new party that loves America.

The only honest comment in that entire piece:
“Erickson said the Congressman is afraid to speak out publicly because he would be primaried and voted out by the Trump supporters in his district.”

Duuuhhh. Does this mysterious congressman think HIS district is the ONLY one where THAT would happen? Again...DUUHHHHH!

It’s WHY Trump beat the witch and will, if he survives being mauled by Mueller and stays the course, be why he’ll get another term.

And speaking of “terms”, when do the Clintons begin serving THEIRS????

Another example in a long line of GOP POS hacks giving everyone who voted for President Trump the big middle finger.

Keep that in mind when you cast your votes this fall.

They’re upset with Trump because he’s the first person who ever told them to do their damn jobs.

We should expect more of this. The paroled Never Trumpers are feeling their oats and just dying to tell us “I told you so.” The goal of course is to pump up and defend their favorite pet beltway Congress critter.

Or any of Erickson’s fellow deluded Cruzlims. They have never gotten past the primary and refuse to fully support POTUS while his office is under treasonous assault.
