ICYMI: John Katko Hides from ABC News, Still Won’t Stand up to Trump’s Dangerous Candidacy

Washington Post Editorial: House Republicans Like Katko who “kowtow” to Trump display “cowardice on an epic scale”

In case you missed it – ABC News tried to catch up with Congressman John Katko for his thoughts on Trump’s debate performance earlier this week. Katko’s response?

Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., who is in a tough reelection race in upstate New York, also declined to answer questions about the debate Tuesday.”

The game is up. Remember that Katko already told voters earlier this year that he would “back” Trump’s candidacy and even met with Trump in Washington.

Unlike Katko’s cowardly political games, other prominent Republican officials – like neighboring Republican Congressman Richard Hanna – are publicly disavowing their party’s dangerous presidential nominee.

The most recent is former Republican U.S. Senator John Warner. In their editorial earlier today praising Warner’s moral leadership, the Washington Post called House Republicans “kowtowing” to Trump a display of “cowardice on an epic scale.”

Well put.

“It is clear that Congressman John Katko is too afraid to stand up to Trump and his own party – far from being an independent voice for Central New York,” said Bryan Lesswing at the DCCC. “Central New York deserves better than Congressman John Katko’s cowardice when it comes to Donald Trump.”
