‘Disgraceful’: Bill Kristol slams ‘buffoonish’ Trump over treason comment — and demands GOP denounce him

On Monday, President Donald Trump stunned nationwide audiences when he suggested that Democrats who refused to clap for him during the State of the Union are “treasonous” — and one conservative columnist saw the writing on the wall.




The “disgraceful” charge that opposing party members are guilty of treason or not patriotic not only implicates the president, he argued, but all the members of his party who fail to denounce him.




Kristol went on to suggest that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) should write a resolution censuring the president, and work to get House Majority Leader Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to co-sponsor it.
