Trump may be setting the US on the path to World War III. —Sen. Bob Corker 2017-10-08
Congress must govern with a president who has no experience of public office, is often poorly informed and can be impulsive in his speech and conduct.” — Sen. John McCain 2017-08-31
Fucking moron. — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (alleged)
Just pathetic, isn’t it? This is terrible. The president of the United States needs to condemn these kinds of hate groups,. The president has to totally condemn this. It’s not about winning an argument. — Gov. John Kasich 2017-08-15
Any candidate who cannot immediately condemn a hate group like the KKK does not represent the Republican Party, and will not unite it. If Donald Trump can’t take a stand against the KKK, we cannot trust him to stand up for America against Putin, Iran or ISIS. — Sen. Tim Scott 2016-06-28
Our country needs a responsibly conservative party. But our party has been corrupted by this hateful man, and it is now in peril. — Sen. John C. Danforth 2017-08-24
The President has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful,” Sen. Bob Corker 2017-08-17
Mr. President, I encourage you to try to bring us together as a nation after this horrific event in Charlottesville. Your words are dividing Americans, not healing them. — Sen Lindsey Graham 2017-08-16
.@POTUS just doesn’t get it. There is no moral equivalence between manifestations for or against #whitesupermacy. He’s got to stop. https://t.co/Cuf4h2Qa11

From a foreign policy perspective, Donald Trump is not qualified to be President and Commander-in-Chief. Indeed, we are convinced that he would be a dangerous President and would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being. Most fundamentally, Mr. Trump lacks the character, values, and experience to be President. He weakens U.S. moral authority as the leader of the free world. He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, and U.S. institutions, including religious tolerance, freedom of the press, and an independent judiciary. — 50 former national security officials 2016-08-08
There’s no moral equivalency between racists & Americans standing up to defy hate& bigotry. The President of the United States should say so
— John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) August 16, 2017
It’s a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning.
— Senator Bob Corker (@SenBobCorker) October 8, 2017
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it.
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) May 3, 2016
If you’re going to be leader of the free world, you have to be able to accept criticism. Mr. Trump can’t. The problem is, ‘unacceptable’ doesn’t even begin to describe it. — Sen. Lindsey Graham 2016-07-31
Mr. President,you can’t allow #WhiteSupremacists to share only part of blame.They support idea which cost nation & world so much pain 5/6
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) August 15, 2017
This is so incredibly disrespectful of a family that endured the ultimate sacrifice for our country. — Gov. Jeb Bush 2016-07-31
White supremacy, bigotry & racism have absolutely no place in our society & no one – especially POTUS – should ever tolerate it. Full STMT: pic.twitter.com/dufC1MGWgB

That’s how dictators get started. Sen. John McCain 2017-08-19
Through his statements yesterday, President Trump took a step backward by again suggesting there is moral equivalency between the white supremacist neo-Nazis and KKK members who attended the Charlottesville rally and people like Ms. Heyer. — Sen. Lindsey Graham 2017-08-17
— Sen. Lisa Murkowski (@lisamurkowski) August 17, 2017
Anything less than complete & unambiguous condemnation of white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK by the @POTUS is unacceptable. Period.
— SenDanSullivan (@SenDanSullivan) August 17, 2017
Any doubt left Trump is completely unhinged? His assertion Ted Cruz’s father was associated with Lee Harvey Oswald should remove ALL doubt.
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) May 3, 2016
You can’t be a “very fine person” and be a white supremacist @POTUS
— Rep. Paul Mitchell (@RepPaulMitchell) August 15, 2017
POTUS deflected from the fact that a young woman was killed & others were injured by a bigoted follower of the white supremacist movement.
— Rep. Pat Tiberi (@PatTiberi) August 15, 2017
@POTUS must stop the moral equivalency! AGAIN, white supremacists were to blame for the violence in #Charlottesville.
— Rep. Charlie Dent (@RepCharlieDent) August 15, 2017
Blaming “both sides” for #Charlottesville?! No. Back to relativism when dealing with KKK, Nazi sympathizers, white supremacists? Just no.
— Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (@RosLehtinen) August 15, 2017
Please just stop. This isn’t normal and it’s beneath the dignity of your office.
