NY-24: 'Trump is a knucklehead': Embattled Republican now says 'I don't like him as a person'

Supporting President Donald Trump while attempting to run for re-election in upstate New York continues to cause difficulty for a Republican congressman.

Rep. John Katko (R-NY) attempted to differentiate his opinions on Trump’s personality from his policies during a virtual forum organized by the Black Leadership Coalition, Syracuse.com reported Saturday.

“Of course, Trump is a knucklehead,” Katko said. “And of course, I mean, I don’t like him as a person. I don’t like his rhetoric. I don’t like his lack of discipline. I’m more concerned about your pocketbook. I’m more concerned about your economic opportunity. And I’m more concerned about where we are going as a country.”

“I think Trump should think seriously about doing so,” Katko told Syracuse.com following the tape’s release. “In my mind, he should. His comments cannot be justified and crosses (sic) every line you can imagine.”

fuck him, (Katko) he's been on the government teat too long and is just trying to save that cushy salary w/benefits.

I hope we get the chance to really drain the swamp
