Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) slammed the tyranny of talk radio show hosts for the impending government shutdown.
Do we succumb to tyranny of talk radio hosts? Corker wondered aloud to reporters, according to CNNs Manu Raju and other reporters who heard the remark. We have two talk radio hosts who influenced the President, he added. Thats tyranny, isnt it?
The government could shutdown at the end of the day Friday over Trumps insistence that Congress appropriate $5 billion for a border wall. Hes previously said multiple times that he would be proud to shut down the government over wall funding.
Its unclear wh0 exactly Corker meant to single out: Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter both raged at Trump on Wednesday for initially appearing to back away from his demand for border wall funding, but so did plenty of other far-right Republicans.

But to make matters even worse, what kind of Congress knuckles under to a president who takes advice from talk-show hosts?

(1,004 posts)got mad at Trump and pitched hissyfits. We are being governed by a man that succumbs to the hissyfits of IRRATIONAL people. It is truly scary.
But things get better on Jan. 3, 2019. A little better, but better.
