on his own conflicts of interest which he doesn't seem to feel any shame about. >> to your point, i don't want to be unfair to the legislative knowledge in a donald trump tweet but he seemed to not even understand that the reason this was coming up now is because the parliamentary procedure sets the rules once at the beginning of the two-year term. >> the conference has to vote on it, it gets into this omnibus setting of the rules. look, i think paul ryan and kevin mccarthy knew that was a bad idea. they were against it to begin with. >> this is bunting and catching. this is basic stuff. you don't start off your new congress by saying "we're going to get rid of ethics rules." >> sounds bad. >> i would like to think this is an indication and road map for the future but this is a process issue that literally i think this type of overreach is almost impossible to imagine again except for some very major issues. so, you know, it's good that they didn't get away with this. i think donald trump is getting too much credit for actually understanding what was going on
