Hypocrisy
Taken to the Extreme
Last year Senator Bob Corker made news
because of a principled stand he took opposing Trump, telling the
nation exactly what Trump was, supporting health and stating he would
not vote for any tax cut that increased the deficit.
Now the Senator is making news because
he has finally
become a turncoat on all of those issues. Once there was this.
It
was just a few months ago that Bob Corker, soon after announcing his
retirement from the Senate, began to blast President Trump, calling
him a childlike president who was putting the United States “on the
path to World War III.”
Trump
fired back, tweeting that the Tennessee Republican had “begged”
for his endorsement and “couldn’t get elected dogcatcher.”
So what has changed? Well Corker
announced he was retiring from the Senate, but now he is trying to
reverse that, like everything else he has reversed.
But
in recent days the two men have reconnected, warming their
long-chilly and acrimonious relationship as Corker has moved closer
to shelving his retirement plans and launching a late reelection bid.
Corker
has had several conversations with the president in which the
possibility of a 2018 campaign has been broached, according to five
Republicans who were not authorized to comment on the discussions.
Corker
also has been cultivating his bonds with the Trump family and top
White House staffers, they added — and Monday he met with Ivanka
Trump, the president’s daughter and senior adviser, for coffee.
This man does not deserve to be in the
Senate. He has no moral compass, no belief that cannot be
compromised by the greed of political gain. He belongs, well we are
not sure where he belongs.
