So there you have it . . . This will all blow over with a “He’s not a politician . . . He just misspoke”.
There is nothing that the Rethugs won’t take from this Orange Orangutan in order to keep control of the government . . . and he and Putin know it. What about the tape recording of Paul Ryan and others admitting that they think dRump is being paid by Putin? Why no questions directed at the GOP leadership!?! How does the press watch a fellow journalist be roughed up in front of the supposed leader of the free world and thrown out of a press conference and no journalist stood with the guy? dRump will never be held accountable - by the MSM press or the GOP hierarchy.

1. Theyre all gonna glom onto that ...didnt he say the same thing on hannity

[berni_mccoy]

3. Seriously....

[Saguaro]

4. "He's not a politician."

BULLSHIT! That stopped being true when he won the Republican nomination, and then most certainly when he won the election. That excuse to normalize Trump wore thin a long time ago.

[Garrett78]

7. But his base won't see it as bullshit.

He misspoke. He's not a politician. He's real. At least he's honest unlike Obama. Blah, blah, blah.

5. Portman just sucks.....

always has, always will. He is useless as a human being. I can say this, as an Ohioan. Portman is just reprehensible.

[ok_cpu]

22. +1. He's an absolute waste as representative of Ohio

Stands for nothing, and has zero substance. He's a reliable rubber stamp and I can't wait until I can help defeat him at the ballot box.

Completely feckless. And I had a small amount of hope when he released the statement last night, but he ended up collapsing on his own spine and setting the world back to normal.

[blueinredohio]

28. I'm also an Ohioans and I totally agree.

Portman is weak, never introduces any legislation, just votes along with his party and is absolutely worthless. I would love to see him and my worthless congress critter Latta gone.

[we can do it]

31. Happy to be outa there since 2016. Couldn't take the shit any longer.

[maveric]

6. Just like a "Good German".

I hate this shit!

[tblue37]

8. Typical GOP weasel. nt

[Freethinker65]

9. Hope you choke on that pretzel logic, Rob

So when Trump takes it all back at his next rally, you will be ok with that as well. And then when the WH house clarifies his clarification, you will stand by that too, until it gets reclarified again.

WTF does Trump/Putin have on Portman??????

[blueinredohio]

29. They have the NRA on him, he makes a fortune off them.

[Vinca]

10. So what about all the other times? He's said the same thing time and time again.

This just happened to be the first time he said it while Putin was standing there.

[htuttle]

14. Hell, what about all the other sentences he said while Putin was standing there

[CanonRay]

11. Slap the word "Traitor" across his picture

I'm done with mincing words.

[blueinredohio]

30. That would be a good billboard for us in Ohio.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Portman must be denser than a 2 by 4. Changing a single word doesn't

make up for 72 hours of bad mouthing the US and our allies.

[dlk]

13. The Are All in the Pockets of their Billionaire Donors - No Matter What Trump Says or Does

They are weak men and weak men are dangerous.

[SWBTATTReg]

15. All traitors, all of them, they all seem to go overboard in their continued support for this piece

of crap so called leader of the USA. RICO their ass everyone of them since it seems to be a general conspiracy among all of them to illegally retain the house and executive branches of government obtained illegally.

[2naSalit]

27. +1

[magicarpet]

16. .

Take him at his word,
Sen. Portman is a jackass,
trDump is a lying jackass.

[Different Drummer]

17. So...Portman's interested in a Cabinet position? n/t

[oasis]

21. Safe seat. That's why MCConnell pryed him out of the woodwork to vouch

for Traitor Trump.

[RhodeIslandOne]

18. The epitome of a soft sack of shit

Fuck Rob Portman

[NastyRiffraff]

19. Did you even listen to the REST of what he said, Senator?

Both yesterday and today. He took one word out of one sentence and we're supposed to believe that the entire shitstorm while standing beside Putin just never happened. That one word was supposed to erase the rest of it?

[oasis]

20. Sen. Rubio also let Traitor Trump off of the hook. Both he and Portman

have safe seats for a few more years, so McConnell will trot them out to vouch for Dear Leader.

[Mc Mike]

23. Yeah, shitler's word is his bond.

[Marie Marie]

24. Well then Senator, you are an idiot.

[Docreed2003]

25. I'm convinced

Trump could hold a press conference in the Oval Office and announce "Yes, there was a conspiracy between my campaign and the Russians. Of course the election was hacked!" And the GOP would twist themselves into pretzels to excuse his actions.

[dalton99a]

33. They've let him get away with reprehensible behavior a couple thousand times before. One more time?

No biggie

[Docreed2003]

34. Exactly! Nt

[Cha]

26. BULLSHIT Helsinki GOPutin! trump is a Documented

LIAR. Only a complete doormat takes trump's word on Anything.

[dalton99a]

32. Every goddamn Republican will fall in line behind the traitor

as usual

[kacekwl]

35. Ok Traitor trump, fly your ass

over to Putin's place and in front of the world tell him that to his face. You are a weak little man-child .

[roamer65]

36. Fuck Portman.

He’s a fucking traitor.
