MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough early Tuesday argued that members of the Republican Party have been hypocritical in their comments about the feud between President Trump and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.).
“When the cameras are not on, when they can just talk to you and other reporters on the Hill and not be quoted, they sound exactly like Bob Corker does when the cameras are on,” Scarborough told USA Today’s Heidi Przybyla, referring to Republican lawmakers.
Scarborough’s comments come after the feud between Corker and Trump reached new heights over the weekend with the two exchanging increasingly personal insults on Twitter.
Trump in a Sunday morning tweet storm said Corker “didn’t have the guts to run” for re-election, adding that the Tennessee senator sought his endorsement, which Trump said he declined to provide.
Corker quickly shot back with his own tweet describing the White House as “an adult day care center.”
Corker’s chief of staff also said Trump urged the senator to run for re-election, and offered his endorsement.
