GOP Senators Dismayed with Trump

https://politicalwire.com/2017/07/20/gop-senators-dismayed-trump/

"SNIP...........


A group of Republican senators criticized President Trump after he rebuked top law enforcement officials in an interview with The New York Times, CNN reports.

Said one GOP senator: “One gets the impression that the President doesn’t understand or he willfully disregards the fact that the attorney general and law enforcement in general — they are not his personal lawyers to defend and protect him.”

Said another: “Any thought of firing the special counsel is chilling. It’s chilling. That’s all you can say.”

And acting deferentially towards the man.

They're cowards and won't confront him. Even this story is based on leaks, not attributed to any particular GOP Senator.

You broke it, you own it. YOU OWN TRUMP.

Distance themselves from his embarrassing comments and acts, but then they use him to get their amoral, legislative agenda.
