Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) acquired an ungainly reminder on TV of previous criticism that was as soon as leveled at him by President-elect Donald Trump. The Republican lawmaker responded with nothing however gushing reward for the president-elect.
ABC’s “This Week” host Jon Karl on Sunday recalled to Emmer when Trump slammed him in a 2023 put up on his Fact Social platform — as Emmer was in search of the Home speaker function — as a “RINO” and “completely out of contact.”
Karl then requested, “I assume you’ve gotten to know Trump a bit bit higher?”
Emmer stated Trump and he at the moment are “on excellent phrases.”
“The president has been great to me, and great to my spouse, has completed all the pieces that he might to marketing campaign in Minnesota,” he added. “He’s been superb. And yeah, we’re going to do some good work collectively. However it’s Donald J. Trump’s agenda. My job is to ensure that we execute.”
Karl requested Emmer about his interactions with Trump.
“He’s a really blunt and sincere human being,” Emmer replied with a chuckle, which was reciprocated by Karl.
Emmer’s remark was mocked as “humiliating” and “totally embarrassing” on social media.
