Et Tu, Senator Corker?
American Thinker.com ^ | August 20, 2017 | Daniel John Sobieski

President Trump should be as wary of entering the Senate chambers as Julius Caesar should have been that fateful day in the Roman Senate. While Trump’s physical safety is assured, character assassins like Tennessee GOP Sen. Bob Corker await. Corker, who is up for reelection in 2018, has announced with his remarks about President Trump’s stability and competence, Corker’s lack of both:

Sen. Bob Corker delivered his harshest criticism of President Trump yet, telling an audience in Chattanooga on Thursday that Trump has not demonstrated that he understands the character of the nation and has not shown the competence needed to lead. "The president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, nor some of the competence, that he needs to demonstrate in order for him to be successful -- and our nation and our world needs for him to be successful, whether you are Republican or Democrat,” the Tennessee Republican said at a Rotary Club meeting in Chattanooga…

“He also recently has not demonstrated that he understands the character of this nation,” Corker told reporters following his luncheon address. “He has not demonstrated that he understands what has made this nation great and what it is today. And he’s got to demonstrate the characteristics of a president who understands that. Without the things I just mentioned happening, our nation is going to go through great peril.”

Huh?

I think Donald Trump's improbable victory in November 2016 is evidence that he understand the character of this nation very well. More than anything else, he understands the character of Washington, D.C.

Why didn’t these skunks savage obama, with all his duplicity, deception, fundamental transformation, race-baiting, etc. Instead, they turn on their own. Yes, there is only one party.

I’m probably behind the curve on this one, but any chance of a strong primary opponent to Bob Corker in 2018?

If Corker doesn’t get primaried, conservatives deserve to be put out of their misery.

Wasn’t Corker on Trump’s short (pun intended) list for Secretary of State? What a back stabbing RINO.

I am sure we will try. I am sure, as in the past, the Party here in TN will push a number of Conservatives and fake Conservatives to run, but no other “Moderates” so their candidate wins the primary. This is as they have done in the past.

Trump won Tennessee by over 60% back in 2016.

Would somebody please explain to me why Sen. Corker - a Republican - would insult Trump publicly like that? What's the advantage? The only thing I can think of is that somebody's paying Corker.

I hope thousands of Tennessee Trump supporters contact Corker and tell him what a low-life, bottom feeder, and turncoat he is.

Corker and Alexander need to go. They are both my senators and are both RINOs.

Alexander was okay at first. Corker has never done anything for my area, even though Clarksville is the 5th largest city in TN

In other words, do as you’re told, President Trump. We run the government, not you. The people have no say.

Can the good people of Tennessee rise up and send this senile SOB into retirement?
