No Republican Is Willing To Go On The Sunday Shows And Defend Trump

No Republican Is Willing To Go On The Sunday Shows And Defend Trump


Things are getting ugly for Trump as there is not a single White House official, House or Senate Republican on the Sunday shows to defend him this week.

Maggie Haberman of The New York Times tweeted:

No one from the White House on the Sunday shows. Giuliani on Fox News with Kurtz. Several senators and House members who are allies of Trump, but no one carrying WH message.

Howard Kurtz is the host of Media Buzz on Fox News, which airs on Sunday mornings, but is not considered a Sunday show.

Republicans can’t go on the Sunday shows to defend Trump with the White House message on impeachment, because the White House has no coherent message or strategy on impeachment.
So far the strategy is Trump repeating word corruption over and over again, and tweeting non-stop every single day. There is no organized response team like Bill Clinton had during his impeachment. It’s just Trump and his phone tweeting dumb nicknames for Adam Schiff, Fox News quotes threats to members of Congress, and Biden conspiracies.

No Republican in their right mind would try to go on the Sunday morning shows and defend what Trump has done this week.

The president can’t find any defenders, and it is revealing that not even Kellyanne Conway wants to go on the networks and get grilled on Trump’s comments and behavior.

Republicans may vote to impeach and convict him, but they also aren’t rushing toward the television cameras to defend Donald Trump.

State of the Union and a Fox show. And also a couple Republican senators on different shows. I wonder if they were scheduled before things got this bad?

To see how many republicans are dumb enough to support trump in this mess he has created. The Senate republicans can hide all the want, but sooner or later they will have to make a choice. Will they chose the country they swore to defend against all enemies both foreign and "domestic", or will they chose to go down with trump?

With her shrill caterwauling, and her propensity to talk over anyone who wants to get a word in edgewise, if you've lost your rabid attack badger things are definitely not going your way, Donnie!
