Corker rails against the 'tyranny of radio talk show hosts' in slam on Limbaugh, Coulter
the hill ^ | December 21, 2018

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said Friday that conservative talk radio hosts were engaging in “tyranny,” criticism apparently aimed at figures such as Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter who pressed President Trump to only accept a spending deal that includes funding for a border wall.

“We have two talk-radio show hosts who basically influenced the president, and we’re in a shutdown mode. It’s just—that’s tyranny, isn’t it?” Corker said to reporters on Friday.

“Do we succumb to tyranny of talk-radio show hosts?" he continued. "I mean, this is a juvenile place we find ourselves. The reason we’re here is that we have a couple talk-radio hosts that get the president spun up.”

Earlier this week, the White House appeared to be ready to accept a stopgap spending bill without wall funding to keep the government running until Feb. 8. But after pointed criticism from nationally syndicated talk show host Rush Limbaugh and conservative columnist Ann Coulter warning how such a capitulation would play among his supporters, the president changed course, announcing he would veto any bill without wall funding.

I am so glad this disgusting little man is going back to Tennessee. I seriously doubt Flake is coming back to Arizona, he is hated here.

No, and you’re a complete buffoon.

Go away and never come back.

“tyranny” — Corker is a moron, truly. He wants to pretend that POTUS Trump is merely a puppet of a couple of talk radio hosts. This is just as idiotic as all the Leftards who pretend that “evil right-wing FoxNews” runs everything. If anything, the successful people in conservative media REFLECT the widespread ideas in the conservative world. Sure, radio and tv talk show hosts can make suggestions and advocate, but they are greatly constrained and directede by what POTUS Trump and his millions of supporters believe. We are not puppets!

Only a liberal could think free speech is “tyranny”

They are the true tyrants for killing free speech and dissent everywhere they find it.

We don’t want him back here in TN. Maybe he’ll partner with Ryan and whore himself to some scummy DC lobbying group.

Little Bobby really wants to be somebody.....but he comes up a little short.... a lot short. I hope he does not come back to Tennessee after he leaves DC. Maybe he and Flake can move in together and join obamma in attacking Trump and his actions.
