GOP senator tells CNN's Blitzer: It's 'your job' to speak up on Trump

Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho) on Tuesday defended his handling of President Trump, saying it is the job of news media to hold the president accountable for being truthful in what he says.

"When he lies about something and you know it's a lie, shouldn't you speak up?" CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked.

"That's your job," the GOP senator responded.

Blitzer pressed Risch on the issue, pointing out the co-equal authority of Congress in the government to the executive branch.

Looks like quite a few members of the GOP are waking up to the reality that their president is a piece of shit and a liar.

Yeah, some of them may be waking up to those facts, but you gotta admit, the congress critter telling Wolf that is his job is kinda messed up.

It's the job of BOTH of them. His job as a congressman to speak truth to power, and Wolf's job is to report what has been said by everyone about the situation, but to leave their personal opinions out of it.

But then again, maybe he's taking a page out of Trump's book............it's every one else's responsibility to get stuff done but yours.

Or..............he's simply afraid of facing a tough primary which is why he won't speak out strongly against Trump and wants CNN to do it.

Who in this thread so far said they were embracing him? The OP is just reporting what was said, and I never said that I liked the dude, just pointed out that he's trying to shirk responsibility for speaking truth to power and shift it over to CNN and Wolf Blitzer.

It was their job to expose that meat puppet faggot.

They didn't do it, and now they're supposed to destroy Trump, whose every word they make public after ignoring Ted Cruz? CNN isn't as credible as Sesame Street.
