Twitter Rips Bannon for Criticizing Corker’s ‘Ridicule’ of Trump: ‘Give Me a Break’

Steve Bannon today ripped Bob Corker for how he's "mocked and ridiculed" President Trump, but the line got him some criticism on Twitter. Meghan McCain in particular wasn't impressed: Trump slammed my dads service when both of my brothers were (and still are) currently serving. Give me a break with this. https://t.co/yuLqqio5QL— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) October 14, 2017 And others on Twitter similarly rolled their eyes: I remember how deeply offended Bannon was by any mockery and ridicule of the last Commander-in-Chief. Oh wait. https://t.co/PXfplwUHHH— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) October 14, 2017 2/ not only that, but very first entry when one googles "senator mocks obama" is a story by... wait for it... Breitbart. Run by Bannon.— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) October 14, 2017 4/ or how about "GOP Senator Jokes About Praying for Obama’s Death" https://t.co/Q2Gt1Y8Ai9— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) October 14, 2017 5/ In short, as others have said, feelings aren't facts. ###— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) October 14, 2017 1) Corker wasn’t mocking Trump; very gravely warned of his unfitness and incapacity.2) Does the “no mockery” rule apply to all presidents? https://t.co/eEgnkJpHfX— David Frum (@davidfrum) October 14, 2017 Bannon, you heap of venal body soil, we can mock the CiC because people serve. https://t.co/RKHCoaL9a6— Popehat (@Popehat) October 14, 2017 It's because we have "kids" in the field that Corker openly questioned the fitness of an incompetent and unfit Commander-in-Chief. https://t.co/v0wNdOYVvi— David Simon (@AoDespair) October 14, 2017 Nobody tell Steve Bannon what Steve Bannon was saying about the president for eight years before Trump https://t.co/mIbbp7RsSt— J?sh Billinson (@jbillinson) October 14, 2017 Trump mocked John McCain, saying 'I like people who weren't captured.' https://t.co/4wEG0XNL33— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) October 14, 2017 In some places, I believe that is called free speech https://t.co/8jp3Ub6nJf— paul mcleary (@paulmcleary) October 14, 2017 A reminder: Trump has never apologized to McCain for saying he wasn't a war hero because he was captured https://t.co/ci0bmavnpa https://t.co/tfgeMNybxd— Dan Merica (@danmericaCNN) October 14, 2017 First their Frankenstein got loose, now it’s trying to eat them. Karma etc, but this is bad for us all and nobody knows how to turn it back. https://t.co/CBpJi7OlDs— Brian Beutler (@brianbeutler) October 14, 2017 This bullshit from Bannon. Pence leaving the game. Conway every day. It's bottomless bad faith. https://t.co/srv767WwFq https://t.co/6Xnw3g2YW4— Jon Lovett (@jonlovett) October 14, 2017 Good grief https://t.co/pX1J6rKcS8— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) October 14, 2017 We had kids in the field during Obama. How did Bannon act? https://t.co/klgvITHn1w— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) October 14, 2017 -- -- Follow Josh Feldman on Twitter: @feldmaniac
