Trumps tweet Tuesday morning attacking a 75-year old protester in Buffalo who was shoved by the police and bled from his head after falling stunned some in a caucus thats grown used to the presidents active Twitter feed. After examining a print-out of the tweet, Sen. Lisa Murkowski gasped: oh lord, Ugh.
Why would you fan the flames? she said of the presidents tweet. Thats all Im going to say.

Its a serious accusation, which should only be made with facts and evidence. And I haven't seen any, said Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) Most of us up here would rather not be political commentators on the presidents tweets. Thats a daily exercise that is something you all have to cover... Saw the tweet. Saw the video. Its a serious accusation.

Reminder: Republicans could have been free of Trump in fucking February. As much as Pence would've completely fucked up Covid, he'd do it behind closed doors and probably sail to reelection based solely on the "rally around the flag" effect. No one would have remembered impeachment come November.

NOW all of a sudden they care about Facts and Evidence. for years they had no problem bowing down to Trump and defending his flat out falsehoods and lies, but only NOW do they suddenly care about facts and evidence. They should be forced to step down so they can be replaced by people with integrity and backbones.

Motherfuckers, Fox is attacking and vilainziing this man now and so are the MAGAs after Trump opened his mouth and all they can say is "Ugh, I'll just shut up"? Are they that terrified of being primary'd by a MAGAhatter or Trump's wrath if he manages to win again?

What is the political strategy of going after an old white man? That's the Republican base right there.

Republican leaders rebuke Trumps comments with a strongly worded statement and then continue to support him and his policies anyway.

Trump had peaceful protesters tear gassed so that he could take an awkward photo op in front of a church he doesnt attend holding a bible he obviously hasnt read or maybe even opened at all. And theres those Christian folks that believe he really is a Christian despite everything hes ever done and continues to do.

Now hes s*** talking a 75 year old life-long catholic peace activist whos in the hospital.

I dont understand why the GOP doesnt just try to play the long game here by jumping ship on Trump and rallying behind Cotton in 2024. Trump is clearly too stupid and doesnt know what hes doing

Because a lot of these politicians have primaries that they could lose to Trumpist candidates. They dump Trump and he can go full scorched earth and direct his base to vote for those candidates instead.

Remember, Trump stated pretty openly in 2016 that if he wasn't the GOP nominee he'd just run with a third party or go independent. There's no reason to think he wouldn't do that this year.

Their future electoral success kinda hinges on those supporters that Trump brought into the party. Keep in mind, a lot of Trump voters in 2016 were either previously Obama voters or people who had never voted before. Trump's base is not composed of Republicans. They're loyal to him and his rather unique message and charisma.

The GOP is trapped, essentially.

I mean they can do that all they want but Im sure if many republican politicians just stop supporting him and didnt even endorse him, even going so far as to disavow him then lots of the voting base would not vote for Trump

He was there to instigate. As another protester said: "I think he's here to get punched in the face."

This is completely idiocy. There is no excuse for police brutality but... he even brought a helmet man shut up. Ian Miles Cheong is another Andy Ngo far-right wannabe journalist that lives in Singapore

"He brought a helmet, so we had to crack his skull" is some real circular logic, in par with that police department firing tear gas because they saw people with gas masks.

Whether that's true or not (which I don't believe), it doesn't justify what the police did to him.

No, he wouldn't have been reelected, but he also would cost the GOP the Senate like Trump is about to do.
