Sen. Bob Corker claimed to speak for his Republican colleagues in an interview with the New York Times, but some in the Senate are not happy with his decision to pick a fight with President Donald Trump.
“Look, except for a few people, the vast majority of our caucus understands what we’re dealing with here,” Corker told the Times, claiming Trump was viewed as a threat to U.S. national security and global stability.
But a spokesperson for Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) told Breitbart News that the senator did not agree with what the retiring Corker had to say.
“No, he does not agree with Sen. Corker,” the spokesperson revealed in a statement. “Senator Barrasso has worked closely with President Trump and will continue to be a strong ally in Congress.”
Barrasso is facing re-election in 2018 amidst rumblings of a possible Republican primary challenger.
Some Republicans staffers made it clear that Corker’s comments were self-serving and unhelpful — especially after announcing his decision to retire rather than seek re-election.
“Given his severe case of 'short man syndrome,' and the fact he would have lost his primary, it’s not surprising Corker is seeking attention and affirmation from the Beltway elites,” a senior Republican aide working for a Senator on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee told Breitbart News.

Many entrenched Republicans don't get it, either.
Trump is merely implementing (or doing his best despite the "resistance") what the country said they wanted. The PEOPLE put him in there based on conservative values and goals.
He is an irresistible force in politics because the people, the working class, are behind him.
The NFL is learning, aren't they? They are TERRIFIED that Trump will start a movement to change their tax status and/or call for a boycott. The NFL has already lost 12-13 million viewers. It could double if Trump asks for it. It could cost someone a new house in Hawaii (with 35 acres).
Anyway, Corker wanted some publicity. He got some.
Keep cheering.
They SHOULD if they no want's good for them.
The fact that Trump won is nothing short of a revolution. He did what NO ONE thought was possible- he was the David vs the liberal MSM Goliath. Many republican senators don't see that.
The trend is your friend.
Remember the military saying: Lead, Follow or Get the F*** out of the way!
If these guys don't get it, get out of the way!
I do not see McConnell getting another chance as senate leader.
312 - Amen! Mitch's luster has been lost/dulled!
Working people need tax relief, start cutting down on the "Moocher rolls" and get these lazy and drugged out people working. Corked, McConnell,McCain and all these bitter sad sacks need to get their butts in gear and get some work done before we end up with a Hillary or Obama and I'll be dead before another republican or libertarian get into the white house. I should retire to welfare and live for free instead of my family working to death to pay blowhards and moochers!
