A transcript and embed of Erickson’s Instagram post in which the Republican Congressman is quoted as saying they and others are prepared to “take out the President”:

Tonight I got to spend some time at a Safeway grocery store with a Republican Member of Congress almost all of you would recognize. You will sometimes see him on Fox News defending the President. But he has come to despise the man privately even though he doesn’t say anything in public right now.

We roamed the aisles of the Safeway grocery store so he could complain about the President. He knew I would write about it and is happy to be quoted. He is livid.

“Needless to say I think if the president were to fire Robert Mueller at this point the votes are there to impeach him. A lot of Republican Congressmen are so frustrated and realizing they may lose their reelection that they are perfectly happy to take out the President with them because they all blame him.”

I know the article cites this “unnamed congressman”. OK then, I’ll give him a name: “Charlie Chickensh!t”. So there you have it.

“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. “

If they lose the midterm elections it will be because THEY forsake the agenda they were elected on to join with the Dims on a spending binge, to fail to support border security, and myriad other things those that elected them expected to see.

No Mr Erickson, if your caucus loses the Midterms it will not be because of Trump, but because your friends and you managed to depress the enthusiasm of the GOP grass roots. That grass roots is more disgusted with RINOs like you than they are upset with Trump. If they stay home, it will be YOUR fault.

Eric Erickson is not a credible source. And any GOP congresscritter that loses his / her seat will do so because they didn’t build the wall.

President Trump will indeed be impeached after the rats take over the house - this is the GOPe plan. GOPe is as happy to lose as a minority as they have been as the majority, and will let the rats take credit for bringing down a president they hate. Meanwhile they dig happily back into the trough and won’t be confronted with any more hard choices, like securing the border. They are traitors, cowards and grifters, every last one of them.
