Rubio-Gowdy: Donor Class Peas In A Pod

trey-gowdy-marco-rubio-AP The endorsement that proves Rubio is what we suspected, and shines an unwelcome spotlight on the less-than-conservative positions taken by his new endorser, Trey Gowdy.

Breitbart News examined some of Gowdy’s markedly Establishment positions and ties to Boehner, Ryan, and the Donor Class, and in so doing really undermines the value of his endorsement outside of the GOPe.

Some examples:

At the height of the Rubio-Ryan amnesty push in 2013 — in the aftermath of President Obama’s profoundly controversial 2012 executive amnesty for DREAMers and at a time when illegal minors were continuing to pour across the border — Gowdy delivered a blanket pardon to the world’s alien youth to enter the country illegally. Gowdy declared: “When children wander into neighborhood yards, we don’t call that trespassing.”
….
Gowdy’s extreme immigration declarations come in addition to his long-standing support for donor-class Republican lawmakers. For instance, in a closed-door GOP leadership election in November of 2014, Gowdy seconded Rep. John Boehner’s nomination as House Speaker. Similarly, Gowdy was the Congressman who nominated Paul Ryan for Speaker. According to Politico, Boehner “secretly urged Gowdy to run” for House Majority Leader.

Apparently, Luis Gutierrez thinks Gowdy’s on the right page – how damning is that!

Peas in a Donor-Class pod; birds of a feather needing to be tarred and run out of town on a rail? Read the Breitbart article and decide whether this enhances Rubio’s position in the year of the outsider – I think not!
