Dan Kildee on Friday became the latest political figure to expose how what GOP members of Congress are saying about President Donald Trump in public is in stark contrast to their condemnation of him in private. “The Ukraine issue is the one that has unified not only Democrats but many Americans across the political spectrum, even many Republicans, honestly, who are afraid to come out and say how wrong they think this is,” he said on CNN’s “Outfront.” Kildee referred to ex-Rep.

I don’t think that’s a place they’re going to want to be.” Check out the clip here: "Many of my Republican colleagues have tremendous courage in the elevator on the way to the second floor where the floor of the House is, and somehow leave that courage behind when they walk onto the floor of the House."
