Faced with some tough questioning on CNN (unlike his usual softball interviews with Newsmax, Steve Bannon and Maria Bartiromo) about former special counsel Jack Smith’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee and other matters, Congressman Cline was reduced to Democrat-bashing, evasions and whataboutery– while carefully avoiding even the mildest criticism of Donald Trump.
(Of course this is the guy who– unlike some of his braver Republican colleagues– hasn’t said a word publicly about Trump’s morally sick comments on the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner.)
And as tens of millions of Americans who rely on the Affordable Care Act for their health insurance face doubling or tripling of their premiums, Cline touted his support for a Republican plan that would do NOTHING– zero, zip, nada– to prevent this.
Asked about the sensational report in Vanity Fair based on interviews with Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles, Cline said he hadn’t read it. The interviewer pointedly told him, “I bet it’s worth your time.”
Touché.
