Report: Anti-Trump GOP House Members ‘Happy to Take Out President’ Over Mueller, Looming Loss of Congress

Never-Trump leader Erick Erickson reported Tuesday night via Instagram and Twitter an alleged conversation he had with an unnamed Republican Congressman over his and many of his fellow GOP Congressmen’s hatred of President Donald Trump and their willingness to “take out the President” through impeachment if he fires Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

This would be their punishment for what they fear to be the loss of their Congressional majorities in the House and Senate come the November elections.

Erickson said the Congressman is afraid to speak out publicly because he would be primaried and voted out by the Trump supporters in his district.

A transcript and embed of Erickson’s Instagram post in which the Republican Congressman is quoted as saying they and others are prepared to “take out the President”:

Tonight I got to spend some time at a Safeway grocery store with a Republican Member of Congress almost all of you would recognize. You will sometimes see him on Fox News defending the President. But he has come to despise the man privately even though he doesn’t say anything in public right now.

We roamed the aisles of the Safeway grocery store so he could complain about the President. He knew I would write about it and is happy to be quoted. He is livid.

“Needless to say I think if the president were to fire Robert Mueller at this point the votes are there to impeach him. A lot of Republican Congressmen are so frustrated and realizing they may lose their reelection that they are perfectly happy to take out the President with them because they all blame him.”

The fat, red faced fraud Erickson is back.
He predicted a Clinton landslide.

Of Republicans lose their seats, it’s not because of Trump. It’s because they failed to keep their promises with the American people.

They have no one to blame but themselves.

It’s time to say goodbye to the gop.

These are very evil people, selling out their own country. And it is ALL for illegal immigration and the vast money involved.

I don’t understand why they would be upset with Trump. He has signed every piece of legislation they approved.

Maybe that is why ryno is retiring, he knows there is no way he gets re-elected after he participates in the coup.

These people suck so bad they will take down their own party, president and country. They deserve the hatred of the American people.

Yes Trump has done nothing but respect the Republicans in Congress. This is all being done over illegal immigration. Period.

If Republicans lose their seats, it’s not because of Trump. It’s because they failed to keep their promises with the American people.
