#AlertTheDaycareStaff: Sen. Corker Again Criticizes Trump for Lying, Bullying

HeadlineOct 25, 2017

Tennessee Republican Senator Bob Corker also slammed President Trump on Tuesday, after Trump took to Twitter to disparage Corker for not supporting his tax plan, which would shower massive tax breaks onto the wealthiest Americans, including Trump himself. Trump tweeted that Senator Corker, the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Tennessee.” Corker responded by tweeting, “Same untruths from an utterly untruthful president. #AlertTheDaycareStaff.” Senator Corker also slammed Trump in an interview with reporters, hours before Trump joined Senate Republicans for a lunch on Capitol Hill.

Sen. Bob Corker: “The standing up in front of the American people and stating untruths that everybody knows to be untrue, just the attempted bullying that he does, which everybody sees through, just the dividing of our country … as president of the United States, is something that is, I think, debasing to our country.”
