Top conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus are defending President Trump’s performance at the Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Members of the group applauded the president's diplomatic efforts, arguing the media has placed too much focus on his remarks at a post-summit press conference with Putin and not enough on his actions.

“I think the good news is there was a summit,” Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) said at a press conference. “I think it was good for the president to be engaged in diplomacy, this is consistent with efforts under George W. Bush and Barrack Obama.”

“The reality is people are upset about what President Trump has said but they’re not giving him credit for what he’s done,” said Davidson, who highlighted sanctions imposed on Trump’s watch and the dismissal of people from the Russian consulate.
“Instead of getting credit for that, people look for the most partisan narrative.”

2. So in other words they want to award Trump

a participation trophy for showing up. Since there is no written record of the meeting, what else do we have to judge it on besides the press conference.

Slavery (Enslavement to Putin) is Freedom.

9. Dear Rep Davidson,

That brown mustache is going to become permanent, and your breath is going to become immune to mouthwash.

11. VOTE THEM OUT.

12. There is a reason why the freedom caucus is limited and only has a few members in it...because they

are all brainwashed or brain dead. What did rump actually do doing the so called summit w/ Putin? There were no witnesses so whatever dumbshit says is supposed to be the word as to what happened? Duhhh!

The republicans are dumber than a rock if they think we're going to listen to these dumb excuses and so forth, and then pretend that rump knows it all? He's just getting more dumber and idiotic by the day, if this is possible.

13. What actions? Seriously, the purpose of the meeting was to talk

so there were no 'actions', and there weren't expected to be any. The only outcome we expected was what he (and Putin) said in the press conference.

Saying "pay no attention to the press conference, look at the actions" just shows they didn't understand the meeting themselves. Or think they can fool people into thinking that what Trump said was a minor part of it.

14. "this is consistent with efforts under George W. Bush and Barrack Obama."

First - The Hill manages to spell Obama's first name wrong in the quote because obviously they don't care.

Second - I can't believe a teabagger would EVER compare what Drumpf did to something purportedly similar to what Obama did. That is the antithesis of this entire administration. To literally, item by item, do the OPPOSITE.

15. I Call Them The "House Treason CucksRUs!"

Featuring Soapy Shower Boy, Jordan, DUI King Maetz, loathsome rodent lookalike, Louie Gofart, plus their Dear Leader, Meadows. A gaggle of whom my former Rep, Speaker Boehner, recently assailed in a screed not printable, but included repeated F-words!

16. "Credit for what he's done"???? WTF did he do??

Fucking sycophants!
