Q. Did President Obama once say of Republicans: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”

A: Yes. Obama made those remarks at a fundraiser in Philadelphia during the 2008 presidential campaign. He was paraphrasing a quote from the 1987 mob movie “The Untouchables.”

movie quote: “Here’s how you get him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago way!”

-

Chozick, June 13, 2008: He [Obama] warned that the general election campaign could get ugly. “They’re going to try to scare people. They’re going to try to say that ‘that Obama is a scary guy,’ ” he said. A donor yelled out a deep accented “Don’t give in!”

“I won’t but that sounded pretty scary. You’re a tough guy,” Obama said.

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

Tapper is an establishment flunky. Worse; he’s a communist dem establishment flunky who can’t accept the world of politics has moved on without him since he refuses to embrace the change. He won’t even accept that it did change.

Not shocking, him pushing for violence.

Tell ya what though, de blasio was targeting the Columbus Statue in Columbus Circle.

We let him know if he tried to remove that Statue, we would be violent if necessary and we did not hide the fact from him. Or our house member.

Or anybody.

It’s still standing there and he has STFU about it for a while now.

John McCain may be dead, but he’s far from gone. He’s the gift that keeps on giving. His health care vote debacle will survive for the balance of our republic government (however long it holds together).

These adults are acting like kids. I raised 5 kids... if they ever acted like this to their mom, they’d know they were in trouble.. Trump needs to ask for respect for the President of the United States and if they continue in this absolute rude behavior.. with no respect for the office nor the man... theh’d not be in the same room with the President.

obama, who the press pampered and did not dare speak to him this way... obama.. the rude conedescending President... had a temper.. Every now and then, it would flare up. He thought he was king and demanded that kind of treatment. If they had treated him the way they do Trump, they’d be in troouble and be blocked from the room.

It’s time to set the next 2 years better than the last... Trump fired sessions less than 24 hrs after the election... it’s time he set the media sstraight. “you don’t have to like me but you will respect the office of which I represent”!

Has anyone ever compared Jake Tapper to a normal American male?

“And the only thing I can compare that to is some of the works of Francis Ford Coppola or Martin Scorsese.””

Who besides Mia Love and Curbelo did Trump call out as being anti-Trumpers?

I believe if one combines the incumbent anti-Trumpers who lost their seats with the anti-Trumpers who retired and the open seat went to the Democrats, the Republicans would have barely kept a majority in the House.

The main result of the 2018 election is that Trump has more supporters in the House and Senate than he has had in the past 2 years.

far too many of the candidates deliberately distanced themselves from Trump’s hardline on the invasion force headed to our border, giving their Republican constituents no reason to vote for them. Then there were the 45 or so incumbents who decided to cut and run because they fell for the “blue wave” propaganda spewed by the media for the last year.

“Who is this Jon McCain to whom you refer?”

He has morphed into Mittens Romney

The press conference is a privilege not a right.

John Sununu said it best. He said you could disagree with the President on his tweets, style and rhetoric. That’s all fine as long as you say you will vote for his agenda because it is good for America.

None of those did that. They virtue signaled and made a big show of resisting Trump inside his party. Good riddance.

Gangsters? Tony: “Ohhhhhh President Trump! What brings you to the Bing”? Trump: “Oh well, you know Tony, I got this little, ahem, thing I need you to take care of for me with CNN. Get Sil, Paulie and Chrissy over here and I’ll lay out for you guys what I want done”......
