Senate Republicans 'are reprehensible in what they're doing. Their families have to understand what traitors they are to their conference, to their party and to the country,' Lou Dobbs said.
Fox Business Network anchor Lou Dobbs called Senate Republicans"traitors" and"cowards" on Tuesday for opposing the tariffs that President Donald Trump has threatened against Mexico.."The Republican Party [in Congress]... is being led by cowards."
GOP senators earlier on Tuesday declared opposition to Trump's threat to slap tariffs on all goods entering America from Mexico. Just hours after the president declared that Capitol Hill would be"foolish" to try and block the move, the Republicans sent ato the White House, warning the Trump administration that they were nearly unanimously opposed to the plan.
Republican campaign consultant and adviser Ed Rollins joined Dobbs in the studio to offer his criticisms of Republicans in the Senate."This president has to be able to stand tough with Mexico as he's doing. He has to get them to pay attention... and all of a sudden you have a message coming out that's saying, 'we might not support the president's tariff programs," Rollins said."[Trump] is the Republican Party today.
