when it comes to Trump.

Can you imagine how fast Mr. Gonzales would be disappeared if he had said anything bad?

so...

You may survive in your career but the stench will never wash away.

At the very least pick a cage at alcatraz n lock the gate behind you. You f.cking traitor to your race. You stand by and watch our people getting abused because of the color of their skin. You're lower than the crap stuck to the bottom of the Felon's shoes.

You're going to stick by that big bullsh.t bill and call yourself a conservative fiscally responsible Republican. I don't think you guys are fooling anybody anymore. Take your 30% and shove it where the sun don't shine.

...any day now. This is all going to wok out great for Tony and the people of his district.

When the rest of the world imposes tariffs on stupidity and despair then America is going to be in real trouble since those seem to be our primary exports now....

Headlines often somewhat mischaracterize things, just due to the nature of being as short as they are. But Gonzales literally said the tariffs MAY hurt his constituents, and the headline writer changed it to WILL. They valued a more sensationalist biased headline over a more accurate one that would have been just as brief. Irritating.

The author should have included that info in their article, if that would have justified the headline.

(I can't watch the video personally, though. For some reason, videos on the CNN site are not playing for me!)

but they might have it up later since this was just aired yesterday.

Most of the article was discussing the Mexico (and Brazil) tariffs, including remarks by Mexico's President, 45, and WH Economic Council Director Hassett, with a few other quotes from Gonzales mixed in. It appears the angle was to note that TX obviously hosts trade routes between the U.S. & Mexico (thus having Gonzales add comments since he is a Rep. there), knowing that the state voted for 45.

The line I quoted was the very last sentence before the CNN segment ended.

because he's are afraid of Trump? Yeah...that's some real representation.

than the economic consequences of their actions.

and I'm proud of it..."

In normal times admitting that would be political suicide.
