After the vote, Trump threatened the senators with primary challenges, according to people with knowledge of the calls.
Hours after the Senate voted to advance the war powers resolution rebuking the White House’s current and future actions in Venezuela, Donald Trump placed “angry” calls to each of the 5 Republicans who crossed the aisle, according to people with knowledge of the calls.
Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.; Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Susan Collins, R-Maine; and Todd Young, R-Ind., voted with Democrats to require the administration to get congressional approval for future military action in Venezuela.
Thursday’s vote was a procedural motion, and it advances the legislation to a full Senate vote that will require a simple majority.
Soon after the vote, Trump threatened each senator with primary challenges, vowing to unseat them, the people said.
It’d be hilarious if some of them would just hang up on him mid-rant.
What a little crybaby bitch he is.
You think he’s a bitch? Wait until you see the Republicans piss their pants and completely shoot down this shit when it comes back after the inevitable veto. Assuming it makes it that far.
Whole party of fascist pussies.
I’m thinking it’s mostly for show because of the veto.
Murkowski and Collins will always fold. Hawley will act tough, then fold. No idea about Young. Oddly enough, probably the most principled one here is Rand.
The fucked up thing is, that all senators pretty much have fuck you money, so even losing their job would mean nothing to them, and yet they chose to lick orange balls
It’s starting to feel like they fear more than their jobs at this point.
I’m sure they have dirt on each other. If one goes down, they ALL go down.
Wouldn’t bother me.
It’s not dirt. It’s death threats. Marjorie Taylor Green didn’t play nice with trump for 2 minutes and then quit politics as she got scared of the far right reaction.
This is the answer. The conservative “movement” and Republican Party is run like a crime family.
It is a Crime Family. We know now that they’ve been covering for the biggest international pedophile sex ring in history, for decades. And they haven’t even tried to hide their graft and corruption.
It’s a good thing he’s doing this, and the harder he comes down on them the better
Just like with Greene, it takes them directly experiencing it to learn that prior loyalty counts for nothing, so if you ever oppose anything they will ever do, you’re just as bad as someone who opposed them the whole time.
The sooner they learn it, the better everyone else is.
At the very least, some will resign because they’re cowards.
He sounds really angry. He should be careful, if he gets too upset he may end up getting a heart attack or a stroke due to stress. That would be a shame…
