GOP senators fuming over Trump comments on Warmbier

Republican senators were steaming Thursday over President Trump's vehement defense of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's role in the death of American college student Otto Warmbier.

Trump's statement that he believed Kim when he said he didn't know at the time of Warmbier's treatment left a number of GOP senators upset.
"I personally find that statement extremely hard to believe," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).

Rob Portman (R-Ohio), who represents Warmbier's home state, warned the president not to be "naïve" about the "brutal nature" of the North Korean regime in a speech on the Senate floor.

Fuming ???

Hardly.

They only fume when their taxes are raised, when policies help the 99%, or when

they think their religion is under attack because they can't oppress others.

gratuitous

Luckily, nobody in the media will ask any of these "fuming" Republicans what they intend to do about it, and everyone will have completely forgotten about this by Monday. Tuesday at the latest.
