Anonymous Congressman Goes Scorched Earth on Trump in Breathtaking Safeway Rant

Of all the venues, who would have thought that a random Washington, D.C. Safeway would house the most scathing review of President Trump’s performance by a member of his own party? Conservative blogger Erick Erickson met with a friend—who just happened to be a member of the House of Representatives—who has defended Trump’s actions publicly, in a D.C.-area Safeway grocery store after he told Erickson he needed to vent about the president. What followed was an obscenity-laced teardown of the president unseen to this point from those who align with him publicly. Thankfully, Erickson recorded everything, and it’s a must-read.

Here are a few choice bits:

He may be an idiot, but he’s still the President and leader of my party and he is capable of doing some things right. But dammit he’s taking us all down with him. We are well and truly fucked in November. Kevin [McCarthy] is already circling like a green fly circling shit trying to take Paul’s [Ryan] job because nobody thinks he’s sticking around for Nancy [Pelosi] … It’s like Forrest Gump won the presidency, but an evil, really fucking stupid Forrest Gump. He can’t help himself. He’s just a fucking idiot who thinks he’s winning when people are bitching about him. He really does see the world as ratings and attention.

… If we get to summer and most of the primaries are over, they just might pull the trigger if the President fires Mueller. The shit will hit the fan if that happens and I’d vote to impeach him myself. Most of us would, I think. Hell, all the Democrats would and you only need a majority in the House. If we’re going to lose because of him, we might as well impeach the motherfucker.

… I say a lot of shit on TV defending him, even over this. But honestly, I wish the motherfucker would just go away. We’re going to lose the House, lose the Senate, and lose a bunch of states because of him. All his supporters will blame us for what we have or have not done, but he hasn’t led. He wakes up in the morning, shits all over Twitter, shits all over us, shits all over his staff, then hits golf balls. Fuck him. Of course, I can’t say that in public or I’d get run out of town.

Erickson is maintaining the congressman’s anonymity, but did offer a small clue to his identity during an appearance on CNN. “He is not on the Judiciary Committee. I will tell you that,” said Erickson. That morsel only eliminates 22 members of the 435-member legislative body, but it’s safe to say that Erickson’s cereal aisle confidant can’t be the only one who feels this way about a president who has skewed the public image and ethical definition of the GOP in a very short period of time.
