CFP- A few weeks ago, news broke that Trey Gowdy would be leaving politics, abandoning his House seat, and heading off to an unspecified career in the justice system. Yesterday, in an interview with CNN’s Alisyn Camerota, Gowdy said he misses his old job where, as he put it, “facts matter.”

With very, very little digging into this guy, he sort of stinks to high heaven. It’s always possible that the internets are conspiring against him, but I’ve read stuff that says he lied about some very important parts of his experience: education, associations with the NC Reserves/Guard and theology fraternity, and he was foursquare behind obama until, as he is quoted saying, “has seen the light” (of Trump). At least on the surface he looks like an opportunist of the worst kind. Not sure how his background qualifies him to be a legislator.

Is Alisyn Camerota really dumb or just playing dumb for TV?
Loretta, I don’t think she’s playing.
