Republican congressmen Trey Gowdy joins former Rep. Jason Chaffetz and Rep. John Ratcliffe to reflect on the last year in Congress on FNC's 'The Ingraham Angle.'
Gowdy, as the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said he strongly supports Paul Ryan as Speaker but his fellow South Carolinian Sen. Tim Scott is the "best person in politics."
"He and I are virtually inseparable," Gowdy said. Gowdy and Scott are currently co-writing a book about their "unlikely" friendship. "We have different views on some pretty serious issues, but we have just chosen to have a friendship some would call unlikely because we are more interested in the conciliation than we are the conflict," Gowdy said about Scott.
"Contrast is fine," Gowdy added. "I'm glad we don't all pull for the Cowboys, I'm glad we don't all go watch the same movie at the same time, but the contrast has morphed into conflict. And what I hear almost everywhere I go is this sense of angst, this divisiveness."
"We are the United States of America, so I would love for us to spend almost as much time celebrating what we have in common as we do harping on the differences," he concluded.

It's time for the traitors to swing at the end of ropes, MANY ropes.
I prefer representatives that metaphorically punch the lying leftists in the face. Hard.
No, Trey. We crave the actual RULE OF LAW.
I’m not looking for unity.
I’m looking to be left alone, the contents of my wallet unmolested, and remain un-blamed for stuff I had nothing to do with.
A constitution, with a bill of rights, and laws, such as they are. Plenty to celebrate there. Now get back to work.
“He and I are virtually inseparable,” Gowdy said.
Swamp creatures BOTH.
Just in case someone in the audience didn’t know the senator was black, Gowdy, a guest, asked to have a picture put on the screen. It suddenly appeared.
The investigations people like Gowdy involve themselves in are an emotional diversion from the real issues like big government that needs to be dismantled but won’t be because big business and big banks want it as long as they don’t have to pay for it.
And I'm sure the Democrats are wringing their hands over the acrimony as well, and crying just as many hypocritical tears as Gowdy it. The complete lack of bipartisanship has been many years in the making and is the product of both sides of the aisle.
Generally you don't see one side or the other talking about bipartisanship unless they are out of power or expect that they soon will be. Gowdy must be sweating the 2018 elections.
No Trey, there is an insatiable hunger on the left to smash America and its institutions. Wake up.
I wish they would all be reasonable and see things my way.
(NO! I will not put a sarcasm tag on that)
If the undocumented Democrats in R jerseys weren’t so committed to importing “new Americans”, maybe we would not have to throw them out of office.
But they are committed to preventing US from keeping our country so they have to go!
Trey won’t be doing anything meaningful about the matters out West discussed in my blog any time soon.

I like Gowdy ... but this surprises me. Liberals are “all my way or nothing” types ... if you “negotiate” with them, you move the whole thing in THEIR direction. Never does it move toward the conservative side. We need to be demanding the MOST OUTRAGEOUS right wing policies so when we “negotiate” the final indicator is moved to the right. Trump tends to do this ... asking for 15% corporate taxes, settling for 21%. Bush would have lowered it from 35 to 33%.
He’s a Cheap Labor Express stooge and a fraud.
Gowdy always wants to compromise. He is the King of Kabuki.
“We are the United States of America, so I would love for us to spend almost as much time celebrating what we have in common as we do harping on the differences,”

He is either an unbelievable BSer or much too naïve to be in his job. Either way, not good for us.
At all.
