2 GOP Senators Level Harsh Criticism Against President

.
JEFF: TONIGHT TWO REPUBLICAN
SENATORS ARE TAKING ON THE
PRESIDENT.
LEYNA: AND WHAT THEY'RE
IS MAKE HEADLINES FROM
WASHINGTON, D.C. TO CALIFORNIA.
KCAL 9 POLITICAL REPORTER DAVE
BRYAN JOINS US WITH THE
DETAILS.
REPORTER: NO DEMOCRATS HERE,
THIS IS REPUBLICAN VERSUS
REPUBLICAN, DEEP DIVISIONS
WITHIN THAT PARTY WERE ON FULL
DISPLAY AS A GOP SENATOR FROM
ARIZONA ANNOUNCED HE WOULD NOT
BE RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION NEXT
WE'RE AND LOWERED THE BOOM ON
PRESIDENT TRUMP WITHOUT
MENTIONING HIS NAME.
AND ANOTHER REPUBLICAN SENATOR
WHO'S NOT RUNNING FOR
RE-ELECTION INDICATED PRESIDENT
TRUMP WAS A LIAR WITHOUT EVER
ACTUALLY CALLING HIM THAT.
I HAVE CHILDREN AND
GRANDCHILDREN TO ANSWER TO AND
SO, MR. PRESIDENT, I WILL NOT
BE COMPLICIT OR SILENT.
REPORTER: SENATOR JEFF FLAKE, A
HARDCORE CONSERVATIVE
REPRESENTING ARIZONA THREW DOWN
THE GAUNTLET TO PRESIDENT TRUMP
AND REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES IN
CONGRESS, ANNOUNCING HE WILL
NOT BE RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION
NEXT YEAR AND IS FREE TO TELL
THE TRUTH AS HE SEES IT ABOUT
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE IMPACT
HE'S HAVING ON THE PARTY AND ON
OUR SOCIETY.
WE MUST NEVER ADJUST TO THE
PRESENT COARSENESS OF OUR
NATIONAL DIALOGUE WITH THE TONE
SET AT THE TOP.
WE MUST NEVER REGARD AS NORMAL
THE REGULAR AND CASUAL
UNDERMINING OF OUR DEMOCRATIC
NORMS AND IDEALS.
THE PERSONAL ATTACKS, THREATS
AGAINST PRINCIPLES, FREEDOMS
AND INSTITUTION, THE FLAGRANT
DISREGARD FOR TRUTH AND
DECENCY.
THE RECKLESS PROVOCATIONS MOST
OFTEN FOR THE PETTIEST AND MOST
PERSONAL REASONS, REASONS
HAVING NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO
WITH THE FORTUNES OF PEOPLE WE
HAVE BEEN ELECTED TO SERVE.
REPORTER: REPUBLICAN CRAIG HUEY
SAYS HE'S PART OF THE
WASHINGTON CROWD DRAGGING ITS
FEET AND ISN'T WORKING TO
AGGRESSIVELY ENACT PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM.
I WISH WE COULD ALL GET
ALONG, I REALLY DO.
IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET
LOORNGS BUT THE FACT IS WHEN
YOU HAVE THE ESTABLISHMENT,
HAVE YOU PEOPLE DRAGGING THEIR
FEET ON REAL REFORM.
THAT'S A PROBLEM.
THAT'S WHAT TRUMP HAS BEEN
CALLING THEM OUT ON AND THEY
DON'T LIKE IT.
REPORTER: THE REALITY IS RECENT
POLLS HAVE SHOWN SENATOR
FLAKE'S JOB APPROVAL RATINGS
FOR THE 30s IN ARIZONA AND LAST
WEEK BEFORE SPEAKING TO THE
CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION IN ANAHEIM,
BREITBART BOSS STEVE BANNON,
FORMERLY PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
CHIEF STRATEGIST ENDORSED
DR. KELLI WARD TO RUN AGAINST
FLAKE IN THE GOP PRIMARY.
IF YOU HAVE KELLI WARD'S
BACK, TRUST ME, WE'RE GOING TO
TURN THIS COUNTRY AROUND, WE'RE
GOING TO PUT AMERICA FIRST, AND
IN DOING, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
HELP DONALD TRUMP MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN.
DR. KELLI WARD.
REPORTER: THE FLAKE
ANNOUNCEMENT COMES ON THE SAME
DAY ANOTHER REPUBLICAN SENATOR,
BOB CORKER FROM TENNESSEE TOLD
INTERVIEWERS --
TRUMP LAUNCHED A TWITTER ATTACK
ON CORKER FIRST TWEETING THAT
CORKER WHO COULDN'T GET ELECTED
DOG CATCHER IN TENNESSEE IS NOW
FIGHTING TAX CUTS.
A FEW MINUTES LATER HE TWEETED
CORKER DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE
IN TENNESSEE WHEN I REFUSED TO
ENDORSE HIM AND NOW IS NEGATIVE
ON ANYTHING TRUMP.
LOOK AT HIS
CORKER TWEETED BACK, SAME
UNTRUTHS FROM UTTERLY
UNTRUTHFUL
ALERT THE DAY CARE STAFF.
LATER IN AN INTERVIEW WITH CNN,
SENATOR CORKER SAID IT'S NOT
TRUE THAT TRUMP REFUSED TO
ENDORSE HIM STOPPING SHORT OF
CALLING HIM A LIAR.
NO, IT'S NOT ACCURATE, YOU
KNOW, NOTHING THAT HE SAID IN
HIS TWEETS TODAY WERE TRUTHFUL
NOR ACCURATE AND HE KNOWS IT,
AND PEOPLE AROUND HIM KNOW IT.
I WOULD HOPE THAT THE STAFF
WOULD FIGURE OUT WAYS OF
CONTROLLING HIM.
REPORTER: CORKER FOUND MULTIPLE
WAYS TO CALL THE PRESIDENT A
LIAR WITHOUT ACTUALLY CALLING
HIM THAT.
THE PRESIDENT HAS GREAT
DIFFICULTY WITH THE TRUTH ON
MANY ISSUES.
REPORTER: AND CORKER MADE IT
CLEAR HE WOULD NOT SUPPORT
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR A SECOND
TERM.
NO WAY.
NO WAY.
NO, I THINK THAT HE'S PROVEN
HIMSELF UNABLE TO RISE TO THE
OCCASION.
BUT YOU KNOW WHO STARTED
THIS WAR OF WORDS AND CONTINUED
IT, TWO SENATORS WHO DIDN'T
LIKE TRUMP FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING AND OTHER FACT IS WE
HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A
UNIFIED PARTY.
TRUMP IS DOING ONE THING RIGHT.
THAT IS HE'S NOT LETTING PEOPLE
GET AWAY WITH DRAGGING THEIR
FEET AND STOPPING THE REFORM
THAT'S NEEDED.
RECKLESS, OUTRAGEOUS AND
UNDIGNIFIED BEHAVIOR HAS BECOME
EXCUSED AND COUNTENANCED AS
TELLING IT LIKE IT IS, WHEN IT
IS ACTUALLY JUST RECKLESS,
OUTRAGEOUS AND UNDIGNIFIED.
AND WHEN SUCH BEHAVIOR EMANATES
FROM THE TOP OF OUR GOVERNMENT,
IT IS SOMETHING ELSE, IT IS
DANGEROUS TO A DEMOCRACY.
REPORTER: IF NOTHING ELSE THIS
IS ONE MORE DAY DURING WHICH
THE SPOTLIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO
BE ON PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LUNCH
WITH REPUBLICANS AND PLAN TO
GET TAX CUTS AND TAX REFORM
PASSED THIS YEAR, THAT WAS
BURIED BEHIND THE INTERNAL
VERBAL CLASH AND WITH NOVEMBER
COMING NEXT WEEK, TIME IS
