ICYMI: RSC Leads on Condemning Comey for Incitement of Violence Against President Trump
WASHINGTON D.C. – In Case You Missed It (ICYMI): Representative Laurel Lee (FL-15) and Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11) are introducing a resolution to condemn former FBI Director James Comey for his threat against President Trump on social media.
The resolution urges authorities to bar Comey from federal service, requests DOJ investigate his incitement against Trump, and demands public release of findings.
As reported by Fox News:
"Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, chairman of the 189-member-strong Republican Study Committee (RSC), is introducing a resolution alongside Rep. Laurel Lee, R-Fla., to condemn Comey for "incitement of violence against President Donald J. Trump."
Pfluger and Lee's resolution noted that Comey had made the post while Trump was on a diplomatic visit to the Middle East, which they argue ran the risk of "jeopardizing the President's security and invigorating our nation's enemies abroad."
BACKGROUND:
The Republican Study Committee is the oldest and largest conservative caucus in the House and represents the leading voice for conservative values in Congress. The RSC is home to 189 strong conservative members, fighting every single day for the American people.
