Martha Raddatz asked McClintock directly on Sunday,"Is there anything that the president did involving Ukraine that is wrong or that concerns you in any way?"

Earlier in the same Sunday program, Democratic congresswoman Val Demmings said she was hopeful Trump would send attorneys or former senior officials to testify at the House impeachment hearings.

How about NO to trumpbeingtrump. The Constitution is more important than any single man! Country over Party!

“Let trump be trump” what does that mean? Let him be corrupt, a dumbass, it’s been a Monday lol

So if trump walked into a bank with a gun and committed an armed robbery, it would be okay to just 'let trump be trump'...

let trump be a prisoner is better

No.

Lowering those standards just to make a political argument. Tragic

So this nation allowed a dysfunctional, undemocratic political/electoral system corrupted by foreign/domestic subversion & disinformation the ability to make T-RUmp POTUS so T-RUmp could bribe, extort, grift, lie in any manner he wants? The POTUS is now a dictator?

No. Don’t you dare let them use west wing. Aaron Sorkin is no Trumpster.

Dictators gotta dictate!

Fox 'entertainment' is BS period.

You call this “news”? Shame on you. 😐

He’s just a temp

Using taxpayer money for his personal advantage is wrong. Did voters know he was going to do THAT?

Fox News presenters should read the Constitution, and stop supporting anti-American behavior by Trump and the GOP.

Let a criminal continue to be a criminal on the taxpayer’s dime Fixed it for y’all

What other Horse Shit can you expect from Fox. Do we actually need updates from this nest of vultures?

They are, and that’s what’s getting him in so much trouble.

Meaning, let Trump be above the law?
