GOP Rep Flips Out At Impeachment Question [VIDEO]

CNN reports:

In contentious interviews with CNN’s Manu Raju, two House Republicans struggled to defend President Trump when pressed about whether it was okay for him to ask a foreign country to investigate the Bidens.

Rep. Mark Amodei, who at first publicly supported impeachment before walking the announcement back, repeatedly refused to answer questions about the substance of Trump’s now-infamous July 25 call with the Ukrainian president.

Rep. Rodney Davis, whose seat is vulnerable in 2020, also sidestepped questions about the substance of the whistleblower allegation.

Read the transcript and watch the clip. Unreal.

Had an interesting exchange with GOP Rep. Mark Amodei of Nevada tonight where I tried to ask for his views on Trump asking Ukraine and China to investigate the Bidens

Q: The WH transcript that was released shows that president trump was asking president zelensky to open an investigation into the Bidens
A: Do you know if they’ve even got plans to call the whistleblower? Cause I heard they didn’t. Now I don’t know if that’s true.

Q: You didn’t answer my question about the substance of the matter.
A: I disagree with your conclusion. It’s a conclusion not a question.
Q: I’m asking about what’s in the White House transcript.

A: Well my English teacher says you got a conclusion, so if you want to interview yourself, go ahead. You’re interviewing me.
Q: Why don’t you answer the question, is it ok for the president to ask a foreign country to investigate the Bidens?
A: That’s not a question.

A: Why don’t you want to do an interview instead of interviewing yourself.
Q: On the south lawn of the white house the president asked China to investigate the Bidens. Is that ok?
A: Ok I guess that’s a no. If you don’t want to interview me, then interview yourself.
