Gallagher has voted with Trump 86.7% of the time. He voted against impeaching Trump despite obvious high crimes and misdemeanors—twice. He’s seeking media attention for criticizing Trump, but when it counts, Mike Gallagher has Trump’s back. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/mike-gallagher/
As a profile in political courage, Rep. Gallagher is right up there with Betsy DeVos. After 3 years & 50 weeks on Team Trump, she resigned from the Cabinet after the insurrection, instead of pushing for the 25th. Gallagher shakes his head about Trump—and votes to protect him.
This is Rep. Gallagher’s political happy place: having it both ways. When Trump led a crowd to chant “Send her back!” about Rep. Ilhan Omar, Gallagher called it “abhorrent.”
But on the bipartisan resolution condemning the chant as racist, he voted no. https://www.postcrescent.com/story/news/2019/07/19/mike-gallagher-green-bay-wont-call-trump-omar-chant-racist/1768379001/

Gallagher talks up his concerns about Trump, polarization, and the future of the country to any reporter who will listen. And then he makes the case against impeachment. He creates space for purple-district Republicans to stick with Trump and against the Constitution.
