Duncan Hunter of California was one of Donald Trump’s first backers on Capitol Hill, long before it became fashionable. But like other Republicans, there are signs of buyer’s remorse.
“He’s just like he is on TV,” the congressman reportedly told colleagues on Friday. “He’s an asshole, but he’s our asshole.”
The comment was reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune, which said it was recounted by four people present when Hunter spoke at a Riverside County Young Republicans meeting at a sports bar in Murrieta, California.
The San Diego-area congressman and Marine combat veteran was one of the first members to endorse Trump during his divisive, anti-establishment campaign for president. A member of the House armed services committee, Hunter has written newspaper columns defending Trump’s approach to Russia.

Asshole, that is.
And, kudos for use of Junior's full designation. When Junior runs they are careful to keep his generational appellation off the campaign signs.
I swear the rednecks in East San Diego County haven't yet figured out that it's the son and not still the father.
When you look at it from out of a rectal orifice.
You get a narrow-minded view of it all.
