A former GOP operative described how he is looking forward to the revenge of an enemy President Donald Trump made in the Senate.
During an episode of The Lincoln Project Podcast, Rick Wilson spoke about the feuds Trump started with senators, but in particular, he relished the revenge plot that Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is suggesting.
“If you follow his Twitter feed lately, you know he is planning a beautiful set of ‘F— yous’ for Trump,” Wilson said, sharing screenshots of posts by Cornyn.
The posts Wilson showed in his video mentioned the filibuster and anti-terrorism bills. According to Wilson, the posts hint that “the revenge is going to be quite, quite sweet.”
Cornyn lost the Republican runoff in May to keep his seat in the Senate after Trump backed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton shortly before the election. However, Cornyn isn’t alone, as Wilson noted that Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) reportedly got into a shouting match with Trump during a closed-door meeting.
“I would pay so much money for a video of that,” Wilson said about Cassidy and Trump’s fight. “Glorious.”
Wilson described a Republican caucus in the Senate featuring both Cornyn and Cassidy who “hate” Trump “with the fire of a billion suns.” He included Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in that caucus as well.
“Not one of these Republican senators can go home and look their voters in the eye and say, ‘I’m fighting for you every day trying to do something about this inflation, trying to do something about these fuel prices, trying to do something about grocery prices, trying to do something about corruption in Washington,’” Wilson said. “They can’t do it. He has boxed them. They have bought this entire package. And you don’t just get to wear the hat. You got to wear the whole clown suit if you’re with Trump.”
