Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) criticized Trump and his $1.8 billion slush fund in an interview with Scott MacFarlane, chief Washington correspondent and anchor at MeidasTouch.
“What do you think your constituents think about this slush fund?” MacFarlane asked.
“They’re disgusted,” McGovern said. “They think Trump is a corrupt son of a b—- who doesn’t give a s— about them.”

“He’s not doing anything to do with the issues of affordability, gas prices are going up, inflation is up, healthcare costs are up, housing costs are up, everything is up,” McGovern said. “He’s doing nothing about it and this Congress is doing nothing about it.”
He said that Republicans are “scared s——” of Trump and afraid of retribution.
“I tried three times to get them to make an amendment in order, so we could eliminate this taxpayer-funded slush fund and all three times, every single Republican in this committee voted no to not allow an amendment to go to the floor, to even debate it, they voted no,” McGovern added. “What’s happening in this Congress is the speaker of the House, the Republican leadership, have turned this place into an embarrassment.”

McGovern: Republicans are scared shitless of Trump. They won’t even say they are mildly concerned because they are afraid of retribution. He is the most corrupt president in history. pic.twitter.com/eMNYlty4EX
