GET ME REWRITE: Rep Ann Wagner (R-Missouri) gets buttered up by Donald Trump. And she's lovin' it!



Trump opens up Camp David as an ‘adult playground’ to woo GOP lawmakers during impeachment.  (Washington Post, 11/22/2019)
Since then, Mulvaney and top White House officials have hosted weekend getaways for Republicans at the historic lodge, seeking to butter up Republicans before the big impeachment vote. The casual itinerary includes making s’mores over the campfire, going hiking, shooting clay pigeons and schmoozing with Trump officials, some of whom stay overnight with lawmakers.

Reversing course




Original 10/25/2019 post, "Meet the GOP lemmings of Congress (the Ann Wagner edition)", starts here.


One of Wagner's greatest hits: "Liar, Liar".




And just when did these people speak, Ann?  Back then you were in high school?
