"I happen to know CNN's Manu Raju. He's a fine fellow whose main existential crisis was resolved happily when the Cubs finally won it all in 2016. He's also a digger. He will ask what he wants to ask. Speaker Moses seems to be terrified of my friend Manu. The other day, Manu asked him to comment on the president's unspeakable reaction to the murders of the Reiners."
"We are trying to bring down health care costs for the American people. They're very important votes, very important issues, and that's what we're focused on. Unfazed by the pile of unadulterated chickenshit Speaker Moses was trying to pile up above his knees, Manu pointed out that a number of Republicans had found the words to condemn the president's words and, unlike the Speaker, did not feel compelled to sound like a talking-point ventriloquist's dummy."
Manu Raju pressed Speaker Moses for comment on the president's reaction to the Reiners' murders, and Speaker Moses declined ongoing commentary, saying the focus is on lowering health care costs and important votes. Several Republicans publicly condemned the president while the Speaker remained evasive and later claimed he had already commented. The Speaker's evasiveness reflects fear of losing control of a narrow majority and dependence on hardline faction support. Republican defections on procedural votes over enhanced ACA tax credits exposed fragile GOP unity and impeded leadership plans to block a normal-procedure vote.
