Report: Bannon told conservatives 'this is not a debate,' you have to back bill

 By Mallory Shelbourne  - 03/25/17 11:19 AM EDT


White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon told a group of House conservatives they had no choice but to back the GOP's ObamaCare repeal bill days before the bill was pulled, according to a new report.

Bannon confronted members of the House Freedom Caucus earlier this week during the White House's push for the American Health Care Act, Axios's Mike Allen reported Saturday in his newsletter.

"Guys, look. This is not a discussion. This is not a debate. You have no choice but to vote for this bill,” Bannon reportedly said.


A Freedom Caucus member reportedly replied: “You know, the last time someone ordered me to something, I was 18 years old. And it was my daddy. And I didn't listen to him, either."
The conservative group met with President Trump at the White House on Thursday, but the president reportedly did not want to discuss policy specifics of the healthcare legislation.

I guess Trump and his goons are finding out that their heavy handiness doesn't work on everyone.  The schoolyard bully has been defeated.

I think all Italian related women, at least back in the "good old days" were great cooks.  Yes, the Mafia are all Sicilian.  So many ending up dead, one by one.  No one trusts another one, for good reason.
