(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) told Fox News on Thursday that his constituents want the GOP to rally behind President Donald Trump and move forward with his agenda, because that’s why they voted for the president.



“This is about people like from my district, who swung 20 points for Donald Trump and helped him win Wisconsin. It’s people at my town hall who go, ‘listen, President Trump’s imperfect, and yeah, I see why people are frustrated with him, but in the end, the things he’s talking about - reducing regulation and the Trump agenda is what’s going to help my family out. Please help support him. You guys gotta find a way to come together and get the agenda accomplished, because it’s all about my family and my prosperity,’” Duffy said.





Asked whether his constituents are still with Trump, Duffy said, “My constituents? Absolutely. They haven’t left him yet. Again, do they get frustrated by some tweets and some statements that are imperfect? Absolutely, but they look at what he’s done, support him. No doubt.”

Duffy said his constituents are his boss, and that when people on both sides of the aisle are angry at you, it “really shakes them in their boots.”



“And that’s what everyone looks at - like, can I get re-elected. My boss is my constituents in central northern Wisconsin or senator has the whole state,” he said.



“When people are that angry, that really shakes a politician, and it’s one thing for a Republican to have the left mad at you, but when you come home and the right is angry at you - the people who have helped you since the very beginning - that really shakes them in their boots, which is what I think gets them really motivated to get something done,” Duffy said.



Duffy said that during the president’s press conference on infrastructure on Tuesday he shouldn’t have taken questions on Charlottesville.



“If you want to talk about infrastructure, which was a couple days ago, then talk about infrastructure. Don’t take the questions about Charlottesville. Talk about infrastructure. Let that be the story,” Duffy said.



Duffy also weighed in on the president’s decision to disband his Manufacturing Council and his Strategy and Policy Forum.



“So now we’ve seen the business council disintegrate and people bail and Trump shut it down, but I think that doesn’t affect our ability to get our agenda done. The agenda has always been about the American people. It’s not about CEOs, and if you look at the CEOs of America or the CEOs of Wall Street, they supported Hillary Clinton. They’re not part of the Trump movement,” Duffy said.
