House conservatives criticize media, not Trump, for Putin furor
By Juliegrace Brufke - 07/17/18 01:22 PM EDT

Top conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus are defending President Trump’s performance at the Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Members of the group applauded the president's diplomatic efforts, arguing the media has placed too much focus on his remarks at a post-summit press conference with Putin and not enough on his actions.

“I think the good news is there was a summit,” Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) said at a press conference. “I think it was good for the president to be engaged in diplomacy, this is consistent with efforts under George W. Bush and Barrack Obama.”

“The reality is people are upset about what President Trump has said but they’re not giving him credit for what he’s done,” said Davidson, who highlighted sanctions imposed on Trump’s watch and the dismissal of people from the Russian consulate.

“Instead of getting credit for that, people look for the most partisan narrative.”

Trump has come under bipartisan fire for taking Putin’s word that Russia did not interfere in the U.S. election over the findings of U.S. intelligence offices.

He criticized special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and slammed FBI agent Peter Strzok as a “disgrace” at the joint press conference with Putin, and described the Russian leader’s suggestion that Mueller’s team cooperate with Russia’s own investigation as an excellent offer.

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is among the Republicans who have criticized Trump’s response. On Tuesday, he described Russia as a menace.

Members of the House Freedom Caucus appeared more interested in pushing back at fellow Republicans’ criticism of Trump than they were of criticizing Russia.

Watching Ben Sasse who has spent A LOT of time with Trump, trash him on Dana Perino while waiting for Trump to address the summit.

I didn't like it,  but it was within their right to do it,  as long as they don't try to muzzle their voices. I admit it, I am partisan, but I'd never try to shut down voices I don't agree with,   but I'd sure try to ridicule them when merited.

Sorry but politicians should NOT be in the business of media critics.  Espcially in this country.

Yes there are. Nunes, Jordan, Meadows, Gohmert, for example.

Not Ryan, McCain, Flake, Rominey, Kasich.

You will achieve higher standing for good judgment, by remaining silent.

Sorry but politcians on both sides should NOT be in the business of being critics of the media. It makes them look childish.
