Rep. Duncan Hunter, one of Donald Trump’s first allies in Congress, described the president in profane terms to a group of Republicans on Friday, but also touted the president as their champion.“He’s just like he is on TV,” Hunter, R-Alpine, told the group. “He’s an a--h---, but he’s our a--h---.”Hunter’s salty assessment was recounted by four people who were present when the congressman spoke at a Riverside County Young Republicans meeting in a Murrieta sports bar. Three spoke on the record with attribution, while one source spoke on the condition of anonymity. Others who were there made posts about Hunter’s comments on social media as well...Hunter was one of the first members of Congress to back Trump during his campaign for president, and said he made the endorsement without having met or spoken to the candidate first. Trump later named Hunter his envoy to Congress.
