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 & his fitness to be POTUS. (1/3)

- .@realdonaIdtrump- I have spent my life as a journalist bringing the truth to light, through administrations of both parties. No taunt will diminish my commitment to that mission, which is the essential role of a free press. @CNN stands by its story, and I stand by my reporting.
- Replying to @carlbernsteinThe 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. (2/3)
- Replying to @carlbernsteinWith few exceptions, their craven public silence has helped enable Trump’s most grievous conduct—including undermining and discrediting the US the electoral system. More from my appearance earlier on @cnn: youtube.com/watch?v=-fQq8k… (3/3)
- How is that NBC News has allowed itself to get conned by Donald Trump and (as of 11 pm Wednesday) continues to abrogate the public trust by not re-scheduling or taping-and-delaying broadcast, or canceling if Trump continues to demand the network’s obeisance? (1/7)
- In any other conceivable moment in US history, this tape would result in the leadership of both parties demanding the immediate resignation of the President of the United States. cnn.com/videos/politic…
- We have now watched an armed attack, instigated by the president of the United States, on peaceful, law-abiding demonstrators exercising their Constitutional rights. All of Trump’s actions and words have etched today as a grim moment in American history.
- "This is worse than Watergate, because the system worked in Watergate.""I think it's time to recognize that what we are watching in the Trump presidency is worse than Watergate," says Carl Bernstein cnn.it/2AALHxz
00:00 - Where are the 10, 20, 30, 40 Republicans in The Senate and House who will condemn unequivocally the most despicable public utterances and embrace of evil ideology by a president in the experience of all living Americans?
- Statement on Washington Post’s refusal to endorse presidential candidate.
- The most dangerous 'enemy of the people' is presidential lying--always. Attacks on press by @realDonaldTrump more treacherous than Nixon's.
- I can state w/confidence that many intel members now decrying 'leaks' of classified info have themselves 'leaked' classified info knowingly
- We may look back on tonight as the Monday Night Slaughter of the administration of justice in the United States.
- The problem is not the chief of staff. The problem--dangerous beyond any modern presidency--is the president.
