White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Wednesday night compared Republican lawmakers’ ongoing efforts to repeal Obamacare to former President Abraham Lincoln’s abolition of slavery.
“I’m wondering whether the President feels he’s been front-stabbed by some of the senators who voted down that repeal of Obamacare,” BBC Newsnight reporter Emily Maitlis asked.
“Well, it’s too early. It’s too early. What do we know,” Scaramucci said.
He called Congress “a congregational setting” with “a lot of conversations that go on.”
“If you’ve read ‘Team of Rivals,’ it took Lincoln three or four times to get what he wanted from the Senate and the House of Representatives, which was the full abolition of slavery,” Scaramucci said. “That was a much tougher thing to get done than what we’re working on right now, but it’s too early.”
Yeah, Mooch, this is exactly like abolishing slavery! Except for the goals, the details, and the greatness of the president.
Whenever I hear someone tell me the Republicans just cannot be anymore disgustingly inappropriate and/or deliberately offensive, they always prove me right – they sure can. With flying colors, too.
He’s right. We are slaves to health care and need to be freed, just like the slaves before the Civil War.
I watched this earlier - he said nothing at all remotely controversial. The headline of this article is pure trolling clickbait - or fake news, as it’s known these days. Sorry to disappoint.
"Some of the most lauded, revered people in history had initial difficulties in doing the things they wanted to do, and so did Donald Trump. So what do we know? It’s too early to answer your question. Or not answer it, because your question was about how Trump feels, but who even remembers that now? God damn I am good at this. Look at me! I was on Air Force One! Got the napkin images to prove it!
Anyway, this subject is frivolous when we have many questions about the President’s number one maybe-fictional fan Dylan aka PICKLES. WE DEMAND A THREAD ABOUT PICKLES.
