Sen. Bob Corker: GOP Becoming A 'Cultish Thing'

A couple of things here:

1) Bob Corker is retiring, so he's no profile-in-courage.

2) Corker votes with Trump about 85% of the time, at the lower end of the cult, but mostly pushing the same destructive agenda as the rest of them

Sen. Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, on Wednesday chided his GOP colleagues for being "cultish" and "fearful" under President Donald Trump, and said some are concerned about their prospects in the midterm elections.

The Tennessee lawmaker said there are a number of reticent Republicans who are afraid to push back at Trump because they do not want to agitate the president.
