Trump's attacks on McCain exacerbate tensions with Senate GOP

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump's disparaging attack on the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is upsetting Senate Republicans who see the repeated insults on a war hero and former pillar of the Senate as unnecessary and corrosive.

Trump has lashed out at McCain four times in the last five days, most recently at an event in Ohio on Wednesday where he spent a full five minutes on the senator — at one point even evoking the McCain's state funeral.

“I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president I had to approve,” Trump told workers, who went silent during the remarks, at a tank factory in Lima. “I don’t care about this, I didn't get a thank you. That's OK.”

Several Republican senators have spoken out against the president’s remarks, which come days after the Senate rebuked the president by overturning his emergency declaration to build a wall on the Mexican border.

2. Senate Republicans who DO NOT denounce Trump....

will be labeled COWARDS. Their inability to stand up to Trump is very telling that they fear his wrath if they do indeed stand up to him on issues, etc.

3. When will the redrumpflicans get some balls and speak out against

this scum of the earth.

4. One of the alt accounts I totally trust, said "One

thing that has surprised me, GOP is more pissed at Trump over the McCain remarks than anything he has done." And this was before the rally.
