Reacting to reports that some Republican senators are losing their patience with close associates of Donald Trump bullying them to rubber-stamp his Cabinet nominees , the panel on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” pounced on Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) as one of the worst offenders.
That led co-host Joe Scarborough to mock the Arkansas Republican for thinking anyone in the Senate cares what he thinks.
Singling out comments made by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) that she is not pleased with the pressure coming from the MAGA wing of the party , Scarborough stated, “At least with, Murkowski that didn’t work too well,” before changing direction and exclaiming, “Also, Tom Cotton running around going, ‘I am the enforcer, you all better vote for every one of these people,’ you know how well that plays with fellow senators?”
“What do they say about fellow senators?” he asked rhetorically. “Everyone looks in the mirror and what do they see? The next president of the United States.”
“They don’t need Tom Cotton running around playing enforcer and people going, ‘We’ve got Tom Cotton on our side, he’s yelling at all the other senators.’ Where are these people from? Because that’s not how — we in the House called them the ‘House of Lords for a reason,” he continued while referencing his time in Congress.
