After President Donald Trump on Wednesday pressured Senate Republicans to vote for a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, White House aide Kellyanne Conway echoed the President, noting that those who vote down repeal “will be held accountable” in a Wednesday interview on Fox News.

“Any Republican Senator who votes against a motion to proceed is basically saying, ‘we’re proceeding with ObamaCare,” she told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

Hannity then jumped in to note that “we’re going to hold them accountable.”

Conway agreed, saying, “That’s right, they will be held accountable.” She then told senators who have issues with the bill to allow the legislation to proceed on the floor and then offer amendments.

I am deathly afraid of Donald J.Trump, and further I believe everyone should be. This demagogic, terribly ignorant, unlettered,self confessed non reader, of books, as well as intelligence briefings, is a loose cannon.

He plays to a kernel of extremists, bigots and haters who remain loyal despite mounting evidence of his unfitness to hold office. He is already on a campaign to strip health care from anywhere between 20 to 32 million Americans according to the OMB, has isolated the US from all our allies, and may very well be simply a self serving, profit seeking entrepreneur who see th office of the President as a money making opportunity only.

Ignorance such as he displays time and again, is very dangerous and he should be both feared and opposed.

20. Welcome to DU.

Hoping for better days ahead. Aloha.

[Zoonart]

26. Welcome indieRick!

hang in there. We will get through this.

[Skittles]

39. not before extreme damage is done

[Sunlei]

38. you see this headline in "Latest Breaking News Forum". Thats how RW publicizes their threat.

gets the word out who to target and pressure.

[Rhiannon12866]

41. Well said, IndieRick!

And welcome to DU! I'm very afraid, too. Each day's news is worse and more disheartening...

[forgotmylogin]

2. They'll be held accountable for saving millions of lives!!

[harun]

31. Exactly, they will likely get re-elected and be able to sleep at night too.

[SnowCritter]

3. The only people that Senators are accountable to

are the citizens of their respective states. Hannity and Conway can both go piss up a rope!

[Scarsdale]

32. Exactly.

The voters are completely forgotten in this mess. Who the HELL thinks Conway holds any sway with anyone? She, and Hannity are so full of their own importance, yet neither is in any position of power. Kellyanne looks "Rode hard, put up wet" at every appearance. Time to lay off the booze.

[hibbing]

40. Kindly disagree

The only people they are accountable to are their ruling class sponsors.

Peace

[Ligyron]

4. Actually, if this POS bill makes it to the floor all voting FOR it will be out.

The campaign commercials just write themselves.

[Roy Rolling]

5. Yes!

They will be held accountable. Those who vote against this monstrosity may likely be re-elected.

[El Mimbreno]

6. Those who vote for it will also be held accountable...

by their constituents.

[lark]

7. drumpf, promising carnage in the Repug party to anyone who doesn't bow to him!

Gee, what could go wrong with that? I hope they have some stones and stand up to orange assface and stand for the people in their districts instead. That would be so against party orthodoxy, but would show if any of them are truly representatives vs. pure takers.

[Scarsdale]

33. How much Russian money

has McConnell spread around? I read that he has a "Slush Fund" especially to "convince members to vote his way. I wonder what is in it for HIM??

[apnu]

8. Blah, blah, blah. Trump has no clout.

Republicans can ignore him at their leisure, they know it.

[gademocrat7]

9. Conjob is a delusional liar.

[Gothmog]

10. KAC is an idiot

[Kleveland]

11. You gotta' love that Nazi revenge attitude!

Blame someone else, especially if they do not agree with your hateful propaganda, and go get 'em!

Worked well in Germany..... for a while.


“That’s right, they will be held accountable.” - I imagine it spoken with your stereotypical German accent!

[Marthe48]

12. What is trump gonna do? Another piss ass tweet storm?

If trump was threatening to send thugs out to beat up senators or kill their families, that'd be one thing (and illegal as all hell) but if all he's gonna do is more tiny hand-tiny mind tweeting...as Cheech and Chong said, "Whata ya trying to do? Tickle me?"

The trouble with having a bunch of elitist Milquetoasts in office is they don't have courage.

[PatSeg]

13. Apparently Kellyanne

has not heard of "separation of powers". Senators don't answer to the president, they answer to their constituents. She must be thinking of Russia!

[Still In Wisconsin]

16. Any of them (Kellyanne, TRUMP, Bannon, Rinse, etc) would flunk an eighth grade civics class.

None of them appear to know or understand how the Federal government is set up.

Hell, TRUMP probably thinks he can fire senators!

[PatSeg]

19. I think he does

You're right, they probably would flunk an eighth grade civics class. They have no idea what they are doing. It is like a slap-stick comedy about a bunch of incompetents trying to run government, except it isn't funny. Even as a farce, it wouldn't be believable.

[Still In Wisconsin]

30. Yup. It's like a B-movie script... but it's REAL. n/t

[DBoon]

22. Oh, they have heard of it

They just don't believe in it.

They really do want a dictatorship. Eliminate separate judiciary and legislature, squash a free press, eliminate universal franchise

Check our Bannon's influences. They get their inspiration from Mussolini, not Montesquieu

[PatSeg]

44. I think you're right

They consider themselves part of a privileged class who would benefit from an authoritarian government that suppressed the lower classes.

[Shell_Seas]

14. WHO do they think they are?

[sarge43]

15. Wow. There isn't a cow patty in the know universe they won't step in.

Please proceed.

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. God, I hate her guts.

I wish she would just take a long walk off a short pier. Really. She needs to go away someplace where we never have to hear her awful voice again.

[Sneederbunk]

21. Conway will be held accountable in the next world.

[Scarsdale]

34. I, for one

can't wait that long. I want to see the entire group punished here and now, so we can witness their downfall and humiliation.

[MineralMan]

23. HEY, KELLYANNE!

We're going to hold those Senators who vote FOR repeal accountable. "That's right, they will be held accountable," as you say.

Your threats are hollow and meaningless, my dear.

[J_William_Ryan]

24. Typical rightwing thug mentality

Threats over reason and sound, responsible governance.

[Old Vet]

25. Lets just hope conway goes the way of Bachman and Palin........

Absurdity...

[C_U_L8R]

27. Boo!!

Oh I bet they're just trembling in their wingtips

[Vogon_Glory]

28. I suspect that a lot of the fan-dancing Republican senators who tanked Trumpcare

Are likely to be renominated by their constituents because they DID Tank Trumpcare.

[FairWinds]

29. And it bears mentioning at this point that Democrats . .

who fail to support Medicare for All . .

should also be held to account !!

[truthisfreedom]

35. Jack-booted thug talk from ineffectual wimps.

Yippie dog.

[workinclasszero]

36. I'm sure those Senators are shaking in their boots

over threats from the lowest popular pResdient in the history of polling.

Trump and his cult are idiots.

I do love me a good republican civil war though.

[Sunlei]

37. RW will sic their $750,000 witch & her twit-bot army of 2 million & spam them off the planet.

[WinkyDink]

42. Tough talker, like her brain-addled boss.

[Thrill]

43. They talk like they have a popular President

lol
