Marilyn MonHoe 11,011 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 President Trump on Wednesday said he is "very happy" that some GOP senators from earlier in his term are no longer in the Senate, telling a group of supporters that those lawmakers have "gone on to greener pastures." "But we didn’t have enough votes because it was very close. We needed 60 votes, and we had 51 votes, and sometimes, you know, we had a little hard time with a couple of them, right?" Trump said, referring to the GOP Senate majority during the previous Congress. "Fortunately, they’re gone now. They’ve gone on to greener pastures — or perhaps far less green pastures, but they’re gone," he said, without naming any senators. "I’m very happy they’re gone." White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley later told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Japan that the comment was directed at former Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who were outspoken critics of the president during the last Congress. "There’s been some confusion over who the president was talking about this morning when he mentioned some senator, senators who’ve passed on to greener pastures, or not so greener pastures," Gidley said. "Some people in the media are speculating he was talking about Senator McCain. That’s absolutely ridiculous. He was talking specifically about Senators Corker and Flake." Earlier in his remarks, he alluded to the late Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) 2017 vote against what was known as a skinny repeal of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. "I’m keeping ObamaCare alive because I felt I should do that," Trump said. "We had a chance to terminate it, and a gentleman voted against it after campaigning for many years to repeal and replace. Then he voted against repeal and replace. Someday somebody will explain that to me." GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) also voted against the skinny repeal. Both are still serving in the Senate. Corker and Flake often took issue with the president's rhetoric, earning his ire over Twitter. Both men voted in favor of the skinny repeal of Obamacare, and regularly voted along party lines.

Bob Corker and Jeff Flake voted for the bill while Collins and Murkowski are still in the Senate.... so Trump was actually talking about John McCain. How fvcking disgusting can someone be, let alone the President of the United States Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
