Joy Ann Reid's tweet about talking points this week

Joy Reid ?@JoyAnnReid 17h17 hours ago

Any Republican who goes on television this week should be asked, repeatedly until they answer, about the gutting of the ethics office.




(My question would be, "What do you hope to achieve by gutting the ethic's office?"

"What is the reason you want to disable the office of ethics?"

"Can you be specific?"

The major objection congressional Republicans got from Trump wasn't over the substance of gutting the ethics commission, it was over the timing. They'll wait until they think nobody's watching.

be for every fucked up thing these people plan to do.

It wasn't just Trump's tweet suggesting they don't do that. It started with the people.

I has to continue with the people
