Rep. Huelskamp (R-KS) Decries ‘Petty,’ ‘Vindictive’ Demotion By House Leadership

Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS)

Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) condemned House GOP leaders for removing him and three other Republican representatives from their committee posts for bucking the party line. 

“It confirms, in my mind, the deepest suspicions of most Americans about Washington, DC: It’s petty, its vindictive, and if you have any conservative principles you will be punished for articulating those,” Huelskamp said at a briefing at the Heritage Foundation. He added that his demotion was “not about princples, it’s about blind obedience and that does a disservice to the instiution.”

    You fucking snowflakes never stop whining. You are perpetual victims in your own minds.
