Carl Bernstein@carlbernstein·23h
I'm not violating any pledge of journalistic confidentially in reporting this: 21 Republican Sensin convos w/ colleagues, staff members, lobbyists, W. House aideshave repeatedly expressed extreme contempt for Trump & his fitness to be POTUS. (1/3)
The 21 GOP Senators who have privately expressed their disdain for Trump are: Portman, Alexander, Sasse, Blunt, Collins, Murkowski, Cornyn, Thune, Romney, Braun, Young, Tim Scott, Rick Scott, Rubio, Grassley, Burr, Toomey, McSally, Moran, Roberts, Shelby. (2/3)
With few exceptions, their craven public silence has helped enable Trumps most grievous conductincluding undermining and discrediting the US the electoral system.
