Errr... maybe. His tweets were as follows:
Quote:With all that Congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the Independent Ethics Watchdog, as unfair as it
........may be, their number one act and priority. Focus on tax reform, healthcare and so many other things of far greater importance!
If I'm reading them right, he thinks the Independent Ethics Watchdog is "unfair" but dealing with it should take a backseat to tax reform, healthcare, and other things.
So it's entirely possible that they'll find the time to 'weaken' the IEW once they deal with a few of his pet agenda issues.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
