‘Dead To Me!’ Trump In Profane Frothing Rage At Allies Who Slammed Racist Video Say CNN White House Sources

ANDERSON COOPER: According to new reports, there could be repercussions for some Republican lawmakers, including South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, who is black. Obama’s post called the quote the most racist thing I’ve ever seen in the White House, I just saw Alayna Treene join us with the story.

So, Alayna, you’re reporting that the president is talking about consequences for Republicans who turn down office. Is it clear what this means?

ALAYNA TREENE: Not really, but we have a good idea, Anderson, from what we heard the president say this week when we saw six Republicans disagree with him on a different issue, namely tariffs on Canada.

He said they will likely face primaries and suffer the consequences in the election.

But look, I was told by multiple sources who were around the president or heard these comments while he was at Mar-a-Lago last weekend, that he was specifically focused on two lawmakers.

She railed against many of them, but Tim Scott in particular was really pissed off for speaking publicly about this post.

The president told allies he felt Tim Scott needed to reach out privately, given their close relationship. In fact, Scott’s post calling it racist felt like it blew up the entire story.

I will say this from another conversation I had with the source; They said Tim Scott actually contacted the president privately before publishing criticism of the post but did not reach out to him afterward. And so he went ahead and posted it on social media.

Now the president also had some very harsh words. I was given even harsher language for Alabama Senator Katie Britt, who spoke on this issue.

I was told that when he did this he used a lot of profanity when talking about his infidelity.

He also said that he died for her.

The president was very, very angry because of the reaction of some of these lawmakers.

And I think that reflects a growth that we’ve seen in the president’s first year in office about Republicans starting to break away from him, rarely actually stepping out of line. We’re seeing this happen more and more in recent months.
