Senate GOP not happy with Trump beatdown of Tillis

Republican senators aren’t happy about how President Trump treated Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), whom the president blasted last week on social media after Tillis said he wouldn’t vote for Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

Tillis is highly regarded among colleagues as a team player focused on getting results, and many Republicans thought he would have had the best chance of keeping the North Carolina Senate seat in GOP hands.

Senate Republicans are expressing disappointment over Tillis’s sudden retirement announcement, which came after Trump tore into him on social media and publicly solicited other Republicans to run for North Carolina’s Senate seat in 2026.

“I do think it was totally unnecessary,” one Republican senator who requested anonymity said of Trump’s rough treatment of Tillis on social media.

Then get your lips off Trump's ass.

But don’t do anything about it.

They are worthless and pathetic.

Not even issuing as much as a sternly worded letter of concern. So, it’s hypocrisy for dinner again.
