Ted Lieu: ‘Ridiculous Assertion’ the RNC Chair Made that Trump Was Making Small Talk with McCabe

‘Donald Trump was trying to assess whether McCabe would be loyal to him and that’s not something he should have been looking at’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
TAPPER: "Ted Lue right now. RNC chair Rom any Mcdaniel said this question of Andrew Mccabe, who did you vote for, asking who he voted for, he was just trying to get to know him. The president is not a traditional politician. Is it possible he didn’t know this would be inappropriate? That he was just making small talk?"
LIEU: "Thank you for that question. I’ve been an elected official for over 15 years. I never asked anyone if they voted for me. It is not appropriate. Also not the get to know you question that he the RNC chair said. That’s a ridiculous assertion that she made. Donald Trump was trying to assess whether McCabe would be loyal to him and that’s not something he should have been looking at."
