CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 15, 2019
DID YOU WATCH THE “60 MINUTES” INTERVIEW WITH THE NEW CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT AND REFORM COMMITTEE, CONGRESSMAN ELIJAH CUMMINGS OF MARYLAND? STEVE KROFT DID THE INTERVIEW. HE WAS THE ONE WHO DID MANY PUFF PIECES WITH BARACK OBAMA.
KROFT NEVER ASKED CUMMINGS ABOUT HIS OPPOSITION TO ANYTHING REPUBLICANS WANTED TO LEARN ABOUT BENGHAZI, THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, HILLARY’S EMAILS AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS. HE ALLOWED CUMMINGS TO PORTRAY HIMSELF AS A RIGHTEOUS INVESTIGATOR OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.
NEVER MIND THE TREMENDOUS SUCCESSES OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. CUMMINGS WASN’T ASKED ABOUT THAT. BUT REPRESENTATIVE JIM JORDAN OF OHIO LISTED SOME OF THEM: LOWER TAXES AND REGULATIONS, ECONOMIC GROWTH, LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT IN 50 YEARS, GORSUCH AND KAVANAUGH ON THE SUPREME COURT, U.S. OUT OF THE IRAN DEAL, THE AMERICAN EMBASSY MOVED TO JERUSALEM, HOSTAGES HOME FROM NORTH KOREA AND A NEW NAFTA AGREEMENT.
DEMOCRATS HAVE NO ISSUES, AT LEAST NONE THAT WORK. ALL THEY HAVE ARE INVESTIGATIONS. IS THAT WHAT THEY WANT TO RUN-ON NEXT YEAR? DOES ANY OF THIS AFFECT AVERAGE AMERICANS? I’M CAL THOMAS.
