Trump rips Democrats for contempt vote: 'Republicans will remember'

Source: The Hill



BY KYLE BALLUCK - 06/13/19 07:06 AM EDT

President Trump in early morning tweets on Thursday criticized Democrats for playing the "seldom used 'Contempt' card" on Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

"Unrelated to Russia, Russia, Russia (although the Radical Left doesn’t use the name Russia anymore since the issuance of the Mueller Report), House Committee now plays the seldom used 'Contempt' card on our great A.G. & Sec. of Commerce - this time on the Census," he said, adding that Democrats are playing a "much tougher game than the Republicans did when they had the House Majority."

"Republicans will remember!" he added.

Trump in a subsequent tweet said Democrats are getting "NO work done on Drug Pricing, Infrastructure & many other things."

"I can't recall" is their usual answer, along with "I have no memory of that", "it wasn't me", and "No collusion, no obstruction".

But now their memories will somehow heal.

Maybe they will realize the tide is turning and Trump offers no safe harbor for their political future.

If they remember anything I hope they remember this - We are coming after them, and America is coming with us.
