Idaho 1st District GOP Rep. Raul Labrador, in an unannounced appearance in the Idaho House today, declared that new President Trump is “actually doing the things that he said he was going to do.”
Labrador said, “People are reacting like this is something unusual or illegitimate, and that concerns me – and I think it should concern you all as members of the Legislature. … I totally understand why people are upset and disappointed. I have been upset and disappointed when my party lost elections.” He said as a law student in 1992, he was so upset when Bill Clinton was elected president that he wore all-black to class. “I was in mourning,” he said.
But, Labrador told the House, “Many people in America are reacting in a way that should concern us all.” He said, “It seems that people have lost sight of what government can and can’t do, and are looking to government to solve all the problems in their life.”
