Rep. Trey Gowdy: There Is A Hunger For Conciliation And Unity In This Country
RCP video ^ | 11-29-2017 | Tim Hains

Posted on 12/29/2017 8:18:53 AM PST by Sir Napsalot

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.

Good point.
I’m hoping Gowdy’s behavior means he knows that some GOP want him out and replaced by a more conservative republican who votes that way, not just talks the talk. Soon McCain won’t be around to offer support. Lindsey Graham may be distracted in dealing with that power void.

There’s a hunger out there for Gowdy to put a couple of heads in the Daryl Issa Memorial Trophy Room which currently stands empty.

You are right. The GOP does not control what the Democrats or globalists choose to do and they choose division.

Trey is smarter than this. He’s just pulling for Scott to replace Ryan. He made Scott sound like a Rino. I don’t know anything about Scott yet. You can not mesh good and evil.

No there is is not Trey

There is a hunger to crush the Left

Spend more time South Carolina’s 4th instead of the Swamp and you’d know that

“Compare rooting for a football team to saving America. Gowdys a fraud.”

Unity and conciliation my ass! Thats not how wars are won. Maybe after the enemy is utterly and completely destroyed and all old scores are settled we’ll think about it. And maybe not.

Boy, I’m sure not seeing this “hunger for reconciliation“ that they’re saying, and I most certainly don’t feel it. I’m not for reconciliation at all, we’re at war with leftism, and I felt that way for a while. And I truly have believed that the well-being of our country is at stake in this war.

“Hunger for reconciliation“… What a bunch of horse crap.

Pelosi has stated for the record that republicans should move out of CA, they are not wanted there.

Tell Nancy I was born here. She is a carpetbagging import and to take her mummified, mentally ill, botox ridden, plastic faced, dried up whatever having ass back home to Maryland.

““He and I are virtually inseparable,” Gowdy said.”

So were Hatch and Kennedy.

Had the same reaction .. I thought Chaffetz did a good job with the questions .. but Gowdy went into his “good friends” and all get along” mode... When they go into that political way of talking, it’s offensive. They complain about Trump’s style .. and I hate THEIR style! Theirs are lies and Trump’s way is straightforward to the people!

Hatch is another swamp creature.

Be VERY VERY SUSPICIOUS about GOP Congress critters. Louie Gomert, Mike DeSantis and a few others are the ONLY ones I trust.
