“I will NEVER be bullied into silence.”
Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy targeted by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D — CA) and Adam Schiff (D — CA) relates to the Russian-collusion game still being played. Both Democrats have teamed against Congressman Gowdy, asserting he overstepped his role as House Intelligence member questioning Jared Kushner, Pres. Trump’s son-in-law. The only thing Trey Gowdy targeted was answers to prove or disprove the Russian controversy. He did not show favoritism to Kushner.
As well, both Dems accuse Gowdy of “fundraising” from the Kushner investigation and Schiff’s criticism of him. According to DemocraticUnderground.com, “The top Democrat [Schiff] on the House Intelligence Committee criticized the way Trey Gowdy questioned Jared Kushner earlier this week. Now, the South Carolina congressman is fundraising off of it.” Pelosi supports Schiff’s assertion.
After a barb from president Trump, Rep. Schiff tweeted about his own fundraising: “Trump attacked me for doing my job. While he tweets, I’m resisting his damaging agenda. Chip in to stand with me.”
That was in response to Pres. Trump engaging him via Twitter, saying, “Sleazy Adam Schiff, the totally biased Congressman looking into ‘Russia,’ spends all of his time on television pushing the Dem loss excuse!”
On August 24, 2017, Rep. Trey Gowdy dispatched a newsletter stating, “I’ll get straight to it — I’ve ticked off Nancy Pelosi & her buddy in Congress — Adam Schiff, and the Democrats are targeting me for defeat.”
Rep. Schiff asserted that Mr. Gowdy acted improperly when, as a member of the House Intelligence Committee, he questioned Mr. Kushner. Involving purported relations between Russia and Kushner, Rep. Schiff claimed,”Mr. Gowdy took the role as a second attorney for Mr. Kushner.” Mr. Gowdy stated the Democrats ran out of questions, so he wrapped things up.
House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi made no bones about her feelings regarding allegations of Russian election hacking and collusion. Pelosi is no fan of the Trump administration. In July 2017, Pelosi openly criticized the GOP by calling them “enablers” allowing the “Trump and Russian” assault on American government principles.
In response to the Democratic duo, The Bull referred to his constituents backing him.: “It would also send a clear message to Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff that picking a fight with me is picking a fight with you.”
In typical Gowdy-fashion, the congressman reiterated his heartfelt belief in America. “I remember every single day why I am in Washington and I am working around the clock to make our nation proud and our future safer and brighter. I’m focused on putting Washington back to work, holding lawmakers accountable, and upholding my promise to put the safety and security of South Carolinians – and all Americans – first,” said Gowdy in a recent newsletter.
OpsLens’ Contributors have written about Trey Gowdy before, largely about how relentless he is in rooting out wrongdoing. He serves as the boots-on-the-ground federal prosecutor-turned-politician rooting out corruption and scandalous behavior.
His impartial stance often draws the ire of congressional colleagues. On Wednesday, Mr. Gowdy proclaimed his steadfast intent to eradicate government woes. Gowdy reminded, “I try to hold everyone in power in Washington accountable for their actions – which hasn’t always made people happy. Though we are months away from Election Day, many are already targeting me for defeat, and no one would love to see me leave Congress more than Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.”
Undoubtedly, his solid reputation seems unshakable and his integrity untarnished. “You can always count on me to stand up and tell the truth – no matter how angry that makes people,” said Gowdy. Fundraising or otherwise, many go to bat for Mr. Gowdy. Trey Gowdy targeted? It’s irrelevant, since his integrity endures. As he said, “I will NEVER be bullied into silence.”
And that’s the truth.
