MSNBC Reporter Asked GOP Senators to React to Trump's Forceful Removal of Protestors and It Did Not Go Well
MSNBC

Republicans in Congress have been routinely criticized by Americans across the country for an apparent unwillingness to hold President Donald Trump accountable for his actions.

Even Republicans like Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC)—who spent the 2016 campaign speaking out against Trump's bigotry—has now become one of Trump's most vocal defenders.


On Monday, hundreds appeared in front of the White House to protest the murder of George Floyd by police. It was one of many uprisings across the country.

To counter the unrest, the President decided to take a picture with a bible in front of the historic Saint John's Episcopal Church. In order to do so, he had peaceful protestors tear gassed to clear a path.

His actions were met with outrage, except from Republican lawmakers, who were asked by CNN's Kasie Hunt about the forceful removal of protestors for a photo-op.

Their answers were...interesting.

Watch below.


Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) ignored Collins's questions.

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) said:

"I wasn't there, so I didn't see exactly what happened."

Others, like Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) gave similar responses.

People weren't happy with the Senators' evasiveness.




Senate Republicans' dismissals continued throughout the day.



The reactions were much the same.



Some of these Senators are up for reelection this November.

Space Force Commander Fired Over Email Criticizing Vance's Greenland Comments

Vice President J.D. Vance and the wider Trump administration are facing criticism now that Colonel Susan Meyers was removed from her post as commander at Greenland's Pituffik Space Base after breaking with Vance in an email she wrote following his controversial visit to the island territory.

Karoline Leavitt Dragged After Making Mind-Numbing Claim About Trump's Tariffs Reversal

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is getting called out after she attempted to justify President Donald Trump's sudden reversal on his proposed tariffs, telling reporters that his actions make sense because he has a master plan to make the world bend the knee.

Trump declared a full 90-day suspension of all the “reciprocal” tariffs that took effect at midnight April 10—except for those on China—in a dramatic about-face from a president who had long championed his historically high tariff rates as permanent.
