Steve Bannon Thought He Could Bully the Freedom Caucus. One Member’s Reply Was Awesome.
……
According to Axios, he walked into the room and said, “Guys, look. This is not a discussion. This is not a debate. You have no choice but to vote for this bill.”
This type of discussion opener went over as well as you might imagine. One unnamed member of the Freedom Caucus replied with a statement so amazing that I am genuinely shocked this much honesty and frankness still exists in the otherwise largely showy and fake Washington D.C.
“You know, the last time someone ordered me to something, I was 18 years old. And it was my daddy. And I didn’t listen to him, either.”
Whoever this unnamed Congressman is, I wish to hug him or her, because that is the only acceptable response to someone trying to strong arm you into doing something you know is wrong. Bannon’s attempt was foolish, and it only shows his ability to deal with actual human beings leaves much to be desired.
