'Snatch a Knot in Their Ass': GOP Congressman Defends President Trump's Criticism of Sen. Lisa Murko

Georgia Republican Congressman Buddy Carter defended President Donald Trump's criticism of Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski Wednesday, saying the President's tweet condemning her over her opposition to the GOP's efforts to repeal Obamacare was justified and that someone needs go to the Senate and "snatch a knot in their ass."

Speaking with MSNBC journalist Ali Velshi, Carter said it was "perfectly fair" for Trump to lambaste the Republican senator after she voted against a procedural motion to open up a debate on the GOP's legislative effort to repeal and replace Obamacare on Tuesday.

"Let me tell you, somebody needs to go over there to that Senate and snatch a knot in their ass," Carter said. "I’m telling you, it has gotten to the point where how can you say I voted for this last year, but I’m not going to vote for it this year.”

While the Republican health care bill was passed in the House in May, it has been struck down numerous times in the Senate, including another repeal plan without a replacement that failed on Wednesday. Carter aired his grievances with his Republican colleagues in the Senate, saying it was "extremely frustrating for those of us who have put so much into this effort."

when I was a kid you respected members of Congress no matter which political party they hailed from. Of course the two parties actually DID try to work together back then (on the occasion when something REALLY needed to be done), and they respected their constituents as well. Now they just don't care. There's so much money being thrown at them by the Kochs they don't have to answer to anyone BUT the Kochs.

Somehow we have to get all this evil money taken out of politics. It just doesn't BELONG there!

comment is said so often I am nauseated when hearing it......Carter said. "I’m telling you, it has gotten to the point where how can you say I voted for this last year, but I’m not going to vote for it this year.” .......



This idiot does not want to acknowledge that people --many of them now realize the dangers of repealing ACA. Times change you idiot.

What does this mean?

We have had alternative facts from Republicans for some time now.

Is this an alternative cliche?

Or maybe an alternative sexist comment?

Or perhaps an alternative...what?

Well, Buddy, it means last year every Republican knew the shitty legislation had no hope of passing, so Americans weren't really at risk from casting an "Aye" vote to support the team. But this time around, real people -- real Americans -- would get hurt, so some of the few Republicans with any integrity left opted to defend their constituents from the same shitty legislation.
