Trump angry more Republicans haven't defended his tweets: report

Source: The Hill

President Trump is reportedly dissatisfied with Republican lawmakers for their lack of defense of his weekend tweets, which targeted a group of minority progressive lawmakers.

The news outlet notes that Sens. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) are preparing for tough reelection races and face a difficult decision — standing by the president and risking support of needed voters, or condemning the president for his remarks and “facing his wrath.”

“I wouldn’t have done it. That’s not what we ought to focus on in this country,” Gardner said of the president's tweets, in which he suggested that the four freshman lawmakers known as “The Squad” — Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (Minn.) — “go back” to their home countries.

When will they realize his needs are NEVER satisfied?
I don’t feel sorry for any of them.

The comeback is..."WHAT words would you have used, Senator, to send the same message?"

We need to ask every Republican what would they have done or said to appear less racist and mean. If they avoid the challenge, they are saying who they are.

Exactly how many headlines have we've seen in the last four years with this sequence of words? I've lost count.

You'd think all this anger, combined with his age and obesity, would cause his vile body to shut down. Damn.

I'm sure it was an oversight on their part.
