GOP rep defends Trump's Ukraine call as 'blunt talk of a Manhattan businessman'
Rep. Tom McClintock on Sunday shrugged off President Donald Trump’s efforts to get Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, chalking up the president’s actions as “the blunt talk of a Manhattan businessman.”
“Is there anything the president did involving Ukraine that is wrong or that concerns you in any way?” host Martha Raddatz asked McClintock. He continued: “What you hear from Donald J. Trump is the blunt talk of a Manhattan businessman. He says what he means, he means what he says. That’s the only thing that’s remarkable by that conversation.”GOP Rep. McClintock says Trump didn't use"delicate language of diplomacy" in Ukraine call but"what you hear from Donald J. Trump is the blunt talk of a Manhattan businessman." https://t.co/rjeu82JjqB pic.twitter.
