If this is in fact true, these Republican Rhinos have to be primaried, because it is Trump that saved the Republican Party from the abyss.If it wasn't for Trump the Republican party would have been dead in the water ....
Though most on Bernstein's (Who hates Trump with a passion) list are known anti-Trumpers .....
Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein has called out 21 Republican senators who he says have expressed 'extreme contempt' for President Trump in private - but have refused to air their grievances in public.
Bernstein accused the senators - including the likes of Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio, Chuck Grassley and Susan Collins - of a 'craven silence' that has 'enabled Trump's most grievous conduct'.
That includes 'undermining and discrediting the US electoral system' Bernstein said, taking aim at Trump's refusal to concede to Joe Biden while claiming 'massive fraud' - a claim that his legal team has failed to substantiate in court.
'Many if not most of these individuals, from what I have been told, were happy to see Donald Trump defeated in this election as long as the Senate could be controlled by the Republicans,' Bernstein said during an appearance on CNN.
The tweet, which garnered 37,600 likes, read: 'I'm not violating any pledge of journalistic confidentially in reporting this: 21 Republican Sens–in convos w/ colleagues, staff members, lobbyists, W. House aides–have repeatedly expressed extreme contempt for Trump and his fitness to be POTUS. (1/3)'
He continued: 'The 21 GOP Senators who have privately expressed their disdain for Trump are: Portman, Alexander, Sasse, Blunt, Collins, Murkowski, Cornyn, Thune, Romney, Braun, Young, Tim Scott, Rick Scott, Rubio, Grassley, Burr, Toomey, McSally, Moran, Roberts, Shelby.
'With few exceptions, their craven public silence has helped enable Trump’s most grievous conduct—including undermining and discrediting the US the electoral system.'
Bernstein is the the former Washington Post journalist who reported alongside Bob Woodward to expose the Watergate scandal which led to former President Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974 before he could be impeached.
Speaking on CNN he said: 'Let me name 15 or so Republican senators and what I am doing is not violating journalistic principle because they have told me what I am about to say.
'But for two or three years I have talked to members of staff of the senators, members of committees, staff people, aides, assistants, people who have worked for these people - let's look at 15 or so of these Republican senators who really disdain and even despise Donald Trump, have said so to each other.'
