“I wish he’d resign, frankly. … He can’t do the work. He’s lost the trust and faith of his comrades [interesting choice of word]. For the good of the party, for the good of the American people, I think it’s time for us to make a change.”

This quote is from Rep. Chris Stewart in Monday’s Salt Lake Tribune in reference to Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King.

When I first read this article, I mused that Stewart could very well have been speaking of our current president.
