TFG should 'just STFU,': Republican Congressman Don Young

A Republican who's the longest-serving member of Congress had a blunt message for former President Donald Trump.

"I think his policy is just so good," Rep. Don Young told The Washington Post in an interview published Thursday. "Just shut up — that's all he has to do. He's not going to. I know that."

Young, 88, has been in office since the Nixon administration. The Alaska Republican was sworn into the House in 1973 after winning a special election.

Young was among the 13 House Republicans who cast a vote for President Joe Biden's infrastructure plan, which passed the House last month. That same group faced a barrage of attacks from Trump and vicious backlash from voters and far-right lawmakers such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. She denounced them as "traitors."

I had never heard of the word before TFG took office. Now I can't hear his name -- or that of one of his children -- without it being associated with the word "grifter."

Personally, I think of the Trump Crime Family as being major league swindlers.

I don't think THEY know what those so-called policies are either. Trump's policies were to do whatever served Trump.

They had many opportunities to get rid of him, including two impeachments and trials where he could have been convicted and removed from office permanently, as well as refusing to go along with his election and January 6 lies. Instead, most of them sucked up to him. I hope he becomes an albatross around their necks.
