DAVID JOYCE: He isn't--
He has no ability to suspend the Constitution.
Secondly--
- But he says he's for it.
DAVID JOYCE: Well, you know, he says a lot of things that--
But that doesn't mean that it's ever going to happen,
so you've got to accept exact fact from fantasy
and fantasy is that we're going to suspend the Constitution
and go backwards.
We're moving forward, and we're going
to continue to move forward as a Republican majority
and as a Republican conference.
MIKE LAWLER: The Constitution is set for a reason
to protect the rights of every American,
and so I certainly don't endorse that language
or that sentiment.
I think the question for everyone
is how we move forward, you know?
I ran for Congress to address the challenges that we're
facing and be forward-looking.
Frankly, I think, people are tired of looking backwards.
I think people are tired of discussing the grievances
of prior elections, and they want
to know what we're going to do to address the challenges.
And I think the former President would be well advised
to focus on the future, if he is going
to run for President again.
MICHAEL TURNER: Well, you know, first
off I vehemently disagree with the statement
that Trump has made.
Trump has made a thousand statements in which I disagree.
There is a political process that has
to go forward before anybody--
- Constitutional conservatives, they're
pretty clear about where they value the Constitution.
MICHAEL TURNER: Right. Exactly, but--
- Is there any scenario--
MICHAEL TURNER: There has to be--
- --for suspending the Constitution?
MICHAEL TURNER: You do get to pick the questions,
but I do get to pick my answer.
- I know I'm trying to get you to answer
the question I'm asking.
MICHAEL TURNER: There is a political process that
has to go forward before anybody is
a frontrunner or anybody is even the candidate
for the party, and--
- Do you condemn him saying something like this?
MICHAEL TURNER: Absolutely.
And I believe, answering your question,
that people certainly are going to take
into consideration a statement like this
as they evaluate a candidate.
