Schumer demands Nunes step down. Trey Gowdy rips him a new one...
White House or Waffle House, who cares?
Maybe that's why we love Trey Gowdy's response to Chuck Schumer's demand that Chairman Intel Committee Chairman Devin Nunes either resign or recuse himself. It's just the kind of blunt rejection that we've wanted to hear for a decade.
"I just love it when Senator Schumer gives Republicans advice on what we ought to do. Devin is doing exactly what the chairman ought to do. When you have a source that has information, you handle that information safely, securely. Which is exactly what he did. I wish Senator Schumer and some of the other Democrats would be more interested in the authenticity and the reliability of the underlying data and not the means by which it was acquired. Whether it's the White House or the Waffle House, what difference does it make if the information is reliable and authentic? It just so happens Devin had to do it this way. So, We're not going to take advice from Senator Schumer on who are chairpeople ought to be."
Boom.
That's the answer that should be given every time a Democrat demands a resignation. "No." Full stop. Every. Single. Time. Learn to play the sort of hardball Democrats have perfected.
If Dems can prove that the person in question did something wrong, they're welcome to proceed with impeachment, recalls, censure, whatever.
If they're demanding that Republicans self-immolate, it means they've got nothing.
Reject and ignore their worthless ultimatums.
