GOP Senators Named By Bernstein Frantically Deny Being Anti-Trump in Private, Insist They Are Totally Behind Lame-Duck President

By Joe DePaoloNov 23rd, 2020, 12:41 pm

A number of the Republican senators reported by Carl Bernstein to have “extreme contempt” for President Donald Trump in private are frantically denying the story and pledging their allegiance to the lame-duck commander in chief.

Sunday night on Twitter, Bernstein named 21 GOP senators who have privately expressed “disdain” for the president. While some of those listed, such as Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), are hardly a surprise, some of those senators outed by Bernstein did raise eyebrows. And several of those in that latter subset are racing to deny the story, and throwing their lot in with the outgoing president.

In a statement provided to Mediaite, Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said he is standing with Trump.

“This is more false news from a CNN political analyst, as I was one of President Trump’s top defenders during impeachment and strongly support his legal efforts to ensure that every legal vote is counted,” Braun said.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) likewise professed allegiance to the president, in statements from their spokespeople given to the Washington Examiner.

What sniveling fucking cowards...

7. Good, get them on record supporting a traitor.

Then hang their statements around their necks when they try to deny it later.

Anyone else think that what Vlad found when he hacked RNC emails would destroy the party if leaked? I do. My guess is they’ve been cheating in elections for years.
