Trump Warns GOP Moderates to Fall in Line, Gleefully Recalls Those Who Crossed Him and Lost: Some Senators ‘Want to Be Cute’

In an interview with Politico, the president gleefully rattled off a list of now-former senators who turned their back on him and are now out of office — in an apparent effort to intimidate the likes of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and other Republican senators trying to distance themselves from the president.

Among those who Trump invoked were Bob Corker — a Tennessee Republican who did not seek reelection in 2018.

“I went after him,” Trump said. “No longer a senator.”

He also took on Nevada’s Dean Heller — who lost his seat in 2018 to Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV).

“How did it work out for the great senator of Nevada?” Trump said. “Not too good.”
