Sen. John Curtis: I Think Me Speaking My Mind and Being Up Front Makes Trump a Better President

‘I’m not a rubber stamp’

RUSH EXCERPT:
CURTIS: "He did. He said, dad, I’m a self-described — I took the red pill. So he kind of set that up, and my response to him was a couple of things, one in kind of a joking way. I said, I did get more votes than him in Utah. Does that give me a mandate? But let me come back to this kind of this concept that I think me speaking my mind and me being up front makes the president a better president, and right now I’m interviewing these nominees. I think people forget the advice part of advice and consent. I can’t advise the president if I haven’t thoroughly talked to these people, if I haven’t investigated everything about them, if I haven’t learned their strengths and their weaknesses, and I think I owe that to the president."
