“President Trump needs to go on offense, put out the agenda he wants before they even get a chance to,” she told colleague Jesse Watters on his show Wednesday. “Welcome them to the table and see if they take the opportunity. I bet they do not.”

She claimed the Democratic Party has abandoned the issue of affordability

“I mean, it’s baffling to me, Jesse, that you just filled the first 12 minutes of your show with vows to investigate, investigate, investigate, lawyer up, subpoena, because I was under the pretense that for the last two years, Democrats told us it was all about affordability,” she said.

“Now it’s all about investigations and subpoenas. And the big travesty here, Jesse, to me, is that Republicans for two years refused to fight like the Democrats,” she added.

McEnany’s scolding remarks come after last week’s brutal midterm losses for Republicans and as Democrats push to investigate the Trump administration ahead of holding a majority in Congress.

This week, the White House countered top oversight Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia (Calif.), who told members of the Trump administration to “lawyer up.”

McEnany urged the president, who once threatened to veto the Democrats’ major legislation once they held a majority, to “beat them at their game.” Her advice was to suggest legislation that Democrats would want.

“If I were President Trump, what I would do tomorrow is, I would say, ‘I’m told you want to engage in bipartisan affordability legislation.’” Then she suggested that Trump push capping credit card interest rates, no tax on Social Security and codifying major changes for prescription drug prices.

Otherwise, she said, “They will make this all about attacking President Trump, his family, anyone within a foot of him.”
