Twitter Goes Nuts Over GOP Sen. Corker's Twitter Burn of Trump: 'Antifa Bob Corker'

by Justin Baragona | 12:24 pm, October 8th, 2017

This morning, President Donald Trump pulled out his phone and sent out a series of hate-tweets about retiring Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), who announced recently that he would not be seeking reelection in 2018. Trump claimed Corker “begged” for the president’s endorsement in the 2018 race and dropped out because he couldn’t get it, stating that Corker didn’t have the “guts to run.” These tweets came on the heels of Corker’s recent criticisms of the president and his competency.

It didn’t take long for Corker to respond on Twitter. And it was a doozy!

And, of course, Twitter was all over this, with many reacting with a combination of shock and glee:

But not everybody was so congratulatory, noting Corker going after Trump now is just a bit late:

He’s a dick on damn near every progressive issue, but for this and his prior push back against Trump, I give him credit. I’d much rather have a boatload of shitty GOP Senators in the Capitol that actually had backbones and stood up to the trump idiocy, than the current crop of bootlickers who meekly chastise Trump while pushing their tired agenda.
