Showing Original Post only (View all)Jason Chaffetz Called Out by Salt Lake City Tribune For Refusing to Investigate Trump [View all]
From the article:
In an editorial, the paper called on Chaffetz to investigate, not emulate, the president because of false claims Chaffetz made about ringers in his town hall audience, all too eerily similar to Trumps cries of voter fraud for the editors:
Chaffetz should realize soon, if he hasnt already, that the president hasnt just plowed this ground, he has already salted the fields for anyone who may come after. This crew dubbed the Prevarication Administration by Washington Post columnist Margaret Sullivan has helped to cure the national media of any hesitation it may have had and to start calling out untruths told by high government officials.

The GOP is increasingly being put on the spot by actual voters. Rather than attempting to discredit the questioners, the GOP must choose between being a real political party or being a lobbying group.

He is the one who disavowed Trump after the sex video came out then walked it back.
