GOP senators ducking on Trump’s deranged tweet about elderly Buffalo man, to my colleague @mkraju:

Rubio: “I didn't see it. you're telling me about it. I don't read Twitter. I only write on it."

Cornyn: “You know, a lot of this stuff just goes over my head."

Editing to add the tweet Manu Raju posted after Harwood's tweet:

GOP senators not touching this so far. They won’t weigh in, even when it’s explained to them. Rubio to me: "I didn't see it, you're telling me about it, I don't read Twitter, I only write on it."
Cornyn says he hasn't seen it: "You know a lot of this stuff just goes over my head”

1. I wish I could make a chicken sound on here.

They are terrified of this man's twitter feed.

2. How do these cretins remain upright without any spine at all?

It defies medical science.

[TreadSoftly]

3. ??? these people got elected ???

If stuff goes over his head, or you don't want to read the news, then you have no business in legislature.

Yucky people.

4. Should you rep the people

...when you’re so out of touch?

Yes, I know they’re lying, but is situational unawareness a good look?

5. Those that say nothing, are saying volumes, which is support for trump

6. It hit Cornyns greasy forehead and bounces off.

Every time I see that guy he looks greasy. Yuck.

9. Hope each chickenshit denial is on video - they would make great campaign commercials

wet myself! 🤣🤣

12. "I don't read twitter, I only write on it.

Rubio is such a fucking moron.

[maxrandb]

14. I don't read bills

I just vote how Mitch tells me to.

15. Guessing dumbass has retweeted stuff.

That precludes some kind of interpretation. Liar.

[SWBTATTReg]

13. What a reassuring feeling eh? What if something really serious happened in this Country ...

ah duhhhh, such as the CV, the economic collapse, etc.) and these senators, who are supposed to be helping guide this Country and act above and beyond themselves for the good of this Country, are acting like this? How pathetic can one be? They certainly still can mouth off obviously like Tom Cotton can, when it suits them, but to dispute and / or ignore clearly what was shown on national TV repeatedly? These republican senators aren't even human.

16. I wonder what mf45 would look like if he was pushed like Mr Gugino by those cops?

He would have fallen and flopped around.

I wish all those seniors who watch Fox would see that video then hear MF,45 say it looked like a fake set up fall?

[RockRaven]

17. The whole Antifa-bogeyman GOP talking point was BS to begin with, but Trump destroyed

its usefulness with this tweet. Nothing could look less dangerous than this elderly man who was easily critically injured with a push. Any time a Trumper screams "Antifa" just ask them if this guy was antifa and when they say "yes" ask them what the fuck are they afraid of. Weak-ass cowards.

18. Can't wait until old King Con falls over his high heel shoes

Fucking idiot

[njhoneybadger]

19. Hey fat boy, you would have fell harder.

[yellowcanine]

21. "a lot of this stuff goes over my head"

When your head is up Trump's ass that is bound to happen.

[gopiscrap]

22. if this stuff goes over Cornyn's head

he needs to resign, he's too fucking stupid to be a US Senator

[Midnight Writer]

23. Sgt. Schultz: I see nothing! I know nothing!

[NNadir]

24. Well they ducked (Romney excepted) on their oath to defend the US Constitution, so why not this?
