During a press gaggle on Capitol Hill, North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis took a moment to effectively ask the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, "What the f...‽."

More specifically, Senator Tillis addressed statements made on Sunday by the former Fox News host Trump appointed as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro.

In an appearance on Fox News' The Sunday Briefing, Pirro said:

"Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize the Reflecting Pool will face the criminal justice system in D.C.. Look, the President has made it a priority to make D.C. not only safe, but beautiful."

Speaking to reporters in a hallway, Tillis stated:

"What freakin’ parallel universe did I wake up in?"

You can watch Tillis make his full remarks here:

Casting doubt on the Trump administration's vandalism claims, the North Carolina Republican continued:

"You’re telling me—even if it proves to be true [that vandalism is occurring]—that damaging a lining in the reflecting pool is something that Pirro wants to prosecute to the full extent of the law, if it's proven true?"
"And yet, they're releasing people who pled guilty to assaulting a police officer?"


Tillis, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, added:

"I don’t know what’s worse to you, vandalizing a pool or assaulting a police officer? Now we got somebody, let’s say they took a pen knife to a damn pool liner, you’re going to prosecute them for 10 years?
"And you’ve let people that admitted to assaulting a police officer go and think I can take that person seriously? Nuh-uh."

People agree with Tillis' hot take on Pirro's pledge.

Rather than blame the contractor he personally selected and gave a no bid federal contract to, Trump instead turns on tourists flocking to the reflecting pool and accuses them, including a former Olympian, of vandalism.

So 14 have been "charged" with this alleged reflecting pool vandalism. For me. This is still a weak sauce attempt at avoiding accountability so that taxpayers will again be saddled with the cost overruns on another no-bid contract.www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Tillis has repeatedly criticized Trump over the riot and insurrection he incited at a rally on January 6, 2021.

The retiring Senator was also an opponent of Trump's pardons for the insurrectionists that injured over 150 members of law enforcement and caused millions of dollars in damages to the Capitol Building.

Trump issued blanket pardons for the rioters on his first day back in office.

Nancy Mace Gets Blunt Civics Lesson After Claiming Every Muslim Elected Official Is A 'Trojan Horse'

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out by CNN anchor Omar Jimenez for her lack of understanding of the First Amendment after she published a series of Islamophobic tweets, including one referring to every Muslim elected official in the country as a "Trojan horse."

Mace's posts came after Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. El-Sayed, a physician who campaigned on expanding healthcare access, strengthening the economy, and ending unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel, became the first progressive to win a statewide primary in a state carried by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He is set to face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in November.

GOP Senator Hit With Brutal Reminder After Slamming Trump Over Executive Order To Break Up MMR Vaccine

Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy was criticized for voting to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) after he spoke out against President Donald Trump's executive order recommending that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine be broken up into separate shots.

The new policy would recommend giving the MMR vaccine as three individual injections rather than as a combined shot, while also spacing childhood vaccinations across separate doctor visits.
