I actually cant repeat what some of them say on morning television, said the networks chief political correspondent.
By Lee Moran
CNNs chief political correspondent Dana Bash on Friday indicated how some Republicans are currently feeling toward embattled Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).
New Day anchor John Avlon observed that Republicans are hardly rallying to defend the Donald Trump sycophant, who is under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct with a 17-year-old girl. Gaetz denies the allegations.
If you could see my text messages from some of his current and former colleagues, I actually cant repeat what some of them say on morning television, claimed Bash.
Its because he has not made himself popular with most of his colleagues, she continued. Again, were talking about his fellow Republicans, John. Were talking about people who he has antagonized in the name of being ... as beholden and as loyal to the former president, Donald Trump, as possible. In the name of being on conservative media, being on Fox News. Being the darling of that.

(89,264 posts)which they don't want made public and that's good enough for the media to accept that Republicans aren't enabling the shit.
meanwhile they think the most important thing is what Nancy Pelosi thinks should happen with Andrew Cuomo . And asking every democrat about him.
