'We need to protect Greenland:' Blindsided GOP lawmakers struggle to defend Trump legacy

Republican lawmakers fleeing Washington, D.C. for their summer recess were put on the spot by MS NOW over President Donald Trump’s performance — which they struggled to defend.

Some fled reporter Jack Fitzpatrick, some stumbled their answers, and one sneered at the news network for covering the president, a video montage shows.

Each lawmaker was asked if they disagreed with anything Trump has done during his rocky second term.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) blurted, “I’m not going to play that game. That’s an absurd game.”

“We’re not going to speculate on that,” a stumped Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) said, adding, “No comment.”

As he ducked into a car, Rep. Darell Issa (R-CA), who is also not running for reelection, stated, “He’s been overcoming organizations like MS NOW finding something wrong with everything he does.”

Rep. Lauren Boebert, also ducking into a car replied, “Maybe just vetoing my bill. But don't worry, I'm still fighting.”

A flustered looking Rep. Mike Haridopolos, (R-FL) did not answer and quickly walked away from MS NOW’s Fitzpatrick.

Outgoing Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) couldn't think of anything.

“I suggest we probably try to give him a third term," Nehls said. "Actually, really should be a fourth."

He also said, "We need to protect Greenland.”
