“Why would Gowdy stop her? Too much swamp draining and common sense?”
Not sure why that comment was there. Maybe Gowdy is as much of a swamp creature as the others and he didn’t like her meddling. Or... maybe the commenter was reading something in to nothing.
But I’m going with what you said, “Too much swamp draining and common sense.” These freshmen Senators are probably pretty naïve and want to do a good job. Maybe they just haven’t been clued in to how the game is played, and when they need to STFU.
My bet is she was probably given a question to ask by someone in the GOP. She instead asked her own unapproved question instead. Gowdy was probably mad because she didn’t follow the script.
Being a freshman, she might be concerned more about serving her constituants than blindly following the party line.
Gowdy is getting to be so dam annoying. He lost his creds when he caved in to Hillary's demands....and let her walk on the Benghazi atrocity.
He'll try anything to recapture the headlines.
Elsie was stealing the spotlight....and he apparently didn't like it.
Speaking of Trey Gowdy, whatever became of that Benghazi investigation? Seems like everything just faded away...
