If you’re a Republican and you go on MSNBC to bash fellow Republicans you should be shown the door.

Via Mediaite:

Appearing on MSNBC’s Jansing & Co. on Friday, Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) attacked the “arch-conservative” members of his party who he said were misleading the Republican base into believing that the Affordable Care Act could be defunded as part of a budget agreement.

Chris Jansing pressed Grimm on whether there was a historical precedent to defund a law as part of any budget agreement, which would likely lead to a government shutdown, in American history.

“I don’t want to shut down the government,” Grimm countered.

“We’re in negotiations,” he continued. “Are we going to put our best foot forward at the negotiation and have no leverage whatsoever? Of course not. That would be silly.”

Enough with all the public infighting, keep it behind closed doors. Even Democrats have enough sense not to do this.
