In a blistering critique of his Republican colleagues, U.S. Rep. Ken Buck on Saturday ripped the U.S. Senate for inaction on issues ranging from health care to financial regulations.

“Congress is letting this president down, not the other way around,” Buck told thousands of grassroots conservatives at the Western Conservative Summit in Downtown Denver. “This president is leading, and Congress needs to figure out how to get things onto his desk.”

Buck’s comments came on a panel discussion featuring members of the House Freedom Caucus, an influential group of hardline conservative lawmakers of which the Colorado Republican is a member.

How is President Trump "leading"? Is it the way he goes golfing every weekend? The juvenile tweets at 5 a.m.? The way he pouts and whines about how "unfair" everything and everyone is? Do these antics impress you? Are they the hallmarks of a leader in your book? What, exactly, is your measure for how Trump is "leading"?

HA.

I don't think so. Pfft.

If he is, he's leading the US straight into a Somalia-style shitter.

Buck said (on the Russia investigations):

"people are going to be raising this issue just like people raised the birth certificate or other issues on President Obama that I didn’t think were credible but that some people did."

he's leading the country straight into a constitutional crisis.

Other than that though, he couldn't lead a Republican to Russian bribe money.

even if it's the same party as the President.

Congress' mission is not to rubberstamp the policies of the President.

Rep. Buck is proposes enabling a treasonous President.
