Republicans Go Into Hiding As Donald Trump's Scandals Deepen
WASHINGTON ― In a sign that mounting scandals involving Donald Trump and
his administration have perhaps become untenable for Republicans, GOP
officials are refusing to appear on major television networks to defend
or comment on the president.
WASHINGTON ― In a sign that mounting scandals involving Donald Trump
and his administration have perhaps become untenable for Republicans,
GOP officials are refusing to appear on major television networks to
defend or comment on the president.
Following reports that Trump asked then-FBI director James Comey
to shut down his investigation of former national security adviser Mike
Flynn’s ties to Russia, “CBS This Morning” reported Thursday that it
invited 20 Republican lawmakers, as well as White House staff, to appear
on the program.
“All declined our invitation,” host Charlie Rose said. Even Trump-friendly Fox News
is having trouble booking GOP guests to comment on Trump, though the
network has provided far less coverage of the stories about the
president, particularly on its prime time shows. “We’ve tried tonight to get Republicans to come out and talk to us, and
there are no Republicans willing to go on camera tonight as of yet,”
host Bret Baier said on air Wednesday evening, soon after The New York Times broke its story of Comey’s memo documenting the meeting in which Trump allegedly told him to stop investigating Flynn.
