WASHINGTON -- Congressional Republicans and conservative leaders rallied around President Trump Friday, attempting to minimize political damage after Trump shot down a man in the middle of Fifth Avenue in New York City.

“I’m not going to put myself in the position of having to respond to every presidential shooting,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said in a hastily called press conference at the Capitol, surrounded by members of his leadership team. “I just happen to think it’s important to keep our focus where it belongs, on enacting a conservative, pro-growth agenda that regular Americans care about, such as tax cuts for the rich and the repeal of Medicare.”

Privately, however, at least some Republican members expressed concern about the long-term political impact of such incidents, especially with midterms looming in less than seven months.

I'm not surprised that you think the tax cuts were for the rich and that Medicare was repealed.

I'm not surprised that some people don't recognise satire (albeit not exactly great satire) when they see it.

It's harder and harder to identify satire.

Was it satire when he called Trump a fascist thug?

Don't interrupt me. I am busy defending my Congressman, who has held office for 30 years.

He is a Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, Trump Republican-conservative.
