Duncan Hunter gives President Trump a profane compliment
The San Diego Union-Tribune ^ | August 28, 2017 | Joshua Stewart

Posted on 08/29/2017 8:51:32 AM PDT by EveningStar

Rep. Duncan Hunter, one of Donald Trump’s first allies in Congress, described the president in profane terms to a group of Republicans on Friday, but also touted the president as their champion.

“He’s just like he is on TV,” Hunter, R-Alpine, told the group. “He’s an a--h---, but he’s our a--h---.”

Hunter’s salty assessment was recounted by four people who were present when the congressman spoke at a Riverside County Young Republicans meeting in a Murrieta sports bar. Three spoke on the record with attribution, while one source spoke on the condition of anonymity. Others who were there made posts about Hunter’s comments on social media as well...

Hunter was one of the first members of Congress to back Trump during his campaign for president, and said he made the endorsement without having met or spoken to the candidate first. Trump later named Hunter his envoy to Congress.

Duncan nailed it. I agree. There is a bit of a “fight fire with fire” aspect to our choosing the Donald.

Spoken like a Marine and probably spot on. BFD... Get over it! Heard a General say the same thing about General Vang Pao.

My daddy always said about lawyers, if you can’t be an Asshole, hire an Asshole. And everyone in DC is a lawyer.

Considering that the vast majority of congresscritters are a**wipes, being just an a**h*** is a great honor.

Anyone who does not despise, loathe, spit upon, moon, and display every conceivable sign of disrespect to that collection of untalented sots is unaware of their utter despicableness. (Whew, that took some seething. I feel much better now.)

Nobody on this planet could accuse President Trump of being overly diplomatic or measured in his discussions with the media or foreign dictators. He’s a New Yorker. He’s an asshole. I’d bet money that he would embrace the term with a smile. It’s a NYC thing.

The statement is harsh, but largely true.
Oh, by the way, what happened with Duncan Hunter?
A few years ago, I used to hear a lot from him.
I thought he would be a more influential conservative by now.
I think he has a son also in politics.
Maybe it’s like with Ken Cuccinelli, where you run for a certain office, but simply do not win the election that matters.

This one is the son. He’s a former Marine and proud of it. I have lost track of his dad, also Duncan Hunter.

He’s an a-hole to all the right people- which is a resume enhancer to me.

Give said the exact same thing, word for word, to people who for whatever cannot accept the fact that Donald Trump was elected President. It’s like family, you gotta love him.

If Trump were a democrat, the accolades would be coming in daily from an admiring media. They would be building monuments for him.

I'm glad The Donald is, not just AN but THE, A**H***.

Most of the rest of them are just grab-bait for him - that's why he's there!

Trump is a kind, courteous, genteel gentleman, when he wants to be. He’s also a brash, gutsy, rude, relentless attack dog, when he needs to be. THAT is why I voted for him. Because he is the ONLY one with the chops to stand up to the Corrupt Bastards’ Club. Upon scrutinizing him during his recent rally in Phoenix, I concluded that he’s actually THRIVING on the hardships and horse$h!t the CB’sC is throwing at him. He’s doing God’s Work.

I think “vulgar” would be a more precise word than “profane” here.
