Nice move by Mr Cole. Let’s see if any
of his chickenshit partymates have the
balls and/or ovaries to follow suit…
GOP rep: Trump owes Obama apology for 'reckless' wiretap claim

"I see no
indication that's true. It's not a charge that I would ever have ever made, and
frankly unless he can produce some pretty compelling proof, then I think
President Obama is owed an apology in that regard," Cole said.
"If he didn't do
it, we shouldn't be reckless in accusations that he did."
Cole is the first GOP
lawmaker to call for an apology, although other Republicans have
questioned why Trump made the accusation without proof.
White House press
secretary Sean Spicer on Thursday defended Trump, saying: "The president
has already been very clear that he didn't mean specifically wiretapping. He
had it in quotes. So I think to fall back on that is a false premise. That's
not what he said. He was very clear when he talked about it yesterday."
Spicer said Trump
stood by his claim, after the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier Thursday
said it sees "no indication that Trump Tower was a subject of surveillance
by any element of the United States government either before or after Election
Day 2016."
Trump earlier this
month wrote in a series of early Saturday morning tweets that
"Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower" during the
campaign, calling his predecessor a "bad (or sick) guy!"
