Former Republican Congressman Goes Off on GOP Members of Congress for 'Selling Their Souls' to Trump

Former Republican Congressman Goes Off on GOP Members of Congress for 'Selling Their Souls' to Trump
MSNBC

Solid points all around.

It's becoming more and more clear that President Donald Trump and his administration withheld Congressionally approved aid to Ukraine on the condition that its President, Volodymyr Zelensky, publicly open an investigation into Trump's potential 2020 opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden.

On Tuesday, Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland amended his prior testimony to committees overseeing the impeachment inquiry against Trump to say that, yes, he did tell Ukrainian officials there was a quid pro quo: if they wanted the aid, the investigation would have to be announced.


It's a recent development that's going to make it even harder for Republican lawmakers to dodge the question of whether they believe it's okay to solicit a foreign government for help in influencing a United States election. Even before Sondland updated his testimony, Republicans were going to extreme lengths to avoid endorsing or denouncing the President's actions to reporters.

Now, former GOP Congressman David Jolly (R-FL) is calling out Republican lawmakers' unwillingness to choose country over party.

Watch below.

In an appearance on MSNBC's Deadline White House, hosted by former Republican operative Nicolle Wallace, Jolly called out Trump's sycophants on Capitol Hill in no uncertain terms.

"These are, in today's Republican party, spineless politicians rotten to the core without virtue, without any level of human integrity, devoid of self respect, self reflection…Without courage and without the moral compass to recognize their own malevolence...There is no greater example of selling your soul to a charlatan than what Republicans are doing right now in the House and the Senate, and their legacies are on the line just as much as Donald Trump's."

Frustrated Americans agreed with the assessment, while thinking the ship had sailed for redemption through a widespread Republican mea culpa.

Though support for the impeachment inquiry, as well as full impeachment and removal from office, continues to grow, Republican support for Trump remains steadfast.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
