Have you guys noticed that Republicans who were a rubber stamp for Trump for the last decade are now suddenly pretending to be defenders of democracy? Amazingly, Senator Thom Tillis is finding his courage right around the time his book tour is launched. How brave! Read my take at the link below ⬇️

It is like a job. The truth comes out when you are going to leave. Otherwise, you are at risk of losing your job if you fight back. Many Republicans warned of how bad Trump was during the 2016 primaries. Once he was elected, they all knew that they had to fall in line or voters would vote them out.

Once Trump will have finished the only thing that will remain in the US constitution will be the 2nd and 5th amendment, everything else will have been wiped out. For sure the 5th will always remain since criminals like Trump need it.

Tillis the pedophile enabler and racist fear monger wouldn’t recognize courage if it slapped him in the face. He along with Richard burr, Ted budd, and mark meadows are all treasonous, greedy scum and an embarrassment to NC. Change is overdue.

Instead of telling Americans about the bad things you could have done to your enemies, Donald, you should be shaking in your shoes about what Americans are going to do to YOU!

His performance on Jen Psaki’s show was proof he’s not genuine. He couldn’t even forcefully say voting for Hegseth and Kennedy was a hugely dumb mistake. Just more mealy mouth nonsense. Made me like him less not more.

His interview with Peter Alexander was about as disingenuous as you can get. NO accountability for this administration. Ready to blame Jow Biden for...what? THE FILIBUSTER? NEVERMIND, Biden had to clean up 🍊's financial disaster from covid. AND he's talking about his OWN vendettas. What a hero.

“Can’t wait to buy Thom Tillis’s book!!” —- said no one ever. How do the pages stick together since Tillis has no spine?

Tom Tillis equates Trump's lawlessness and corruption with things Tillis said Biden and Obama did, like passing the affordable healthcare act. Tills is what is wrong with the Republican Party. Always beholden to Trump until it no longer serves them personally. Vote Democrats.

He knew better. He wants everyone to think he knew better. But he doesn’t want to own up to his role. Nor is he willing to do anything courageous now. The worst kind of coward.

tillis hasn't really found his courage. You're too kind.

HUNT: Do you think President Trump has played a role in the increased level of political violence in our society? TILLIS: I think leaders from both sides. I think when Schumer called out Supreme Court justices, its all about one-upmanship. Shame on Chuck Schumer.

Yes, they all have time to write books defending themselves for not doing their jobs. He voted for nominees that he’s is now complaining about and the liberal media is having him on to talk about it. Reminds me of John Bolton, would not testify about J6 but wrote a book. Now he’s facing jail.

“Fuck this guy” enough.He’s a wet noodle coward, begging people to give him credit.For what? Idk.He’s the reason we’re here.Folks holding their noses and praying the leopard doesn’t start gnawing on them before the old GOP comes back.Problem is, the old GOP is dead and the leopard spares no one.

Right! Courage my ass he just appeared on MSNOW saying it's all Biden's fault that trump is corrupt! Said he would vote for him again! He said Trump only acts like this because Biden was worse!

fAKE BRAVERY BY TOM tILLIS.. gLAD SOME OF THE PEOPLE HE SPOKE WITH TO SELL HIS BOOK CALLED HIM OUT ABOUT SOME OF HIS RHEORTIC. THERE ARE NO MORE MCCAINS IN REPUBLICAN PARTY TELLING THE TRUTH. THE GENIUNE REPUBLICANS LIKE ADAM& LIZ CALLED OUT CURRENT QUESTIONABLE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS & SENATE

Yes!!! Tom Tillis needs to go crawl under a rock and stay there. He’s yelling “both sides” every time someone asks him about something Trump is doing. And each interview he says the same thing - that he only cares about the Republican party staying power. #ByeFelicia

Writing a book does not mean the spines of these cowards have grown back. He’s also, to promote his book, talking about the sharp conversations he’s had with Mitch McConnell. Apparently anyone who can flash a peace sign is an engaging conversationist. Two cowards who sold their souls.

Trying to sell his book but still a belligerent ass when pressed on things like his line on vaccines and where we are with the measles outbreak because of his vote on JFK jr. Ridiculous we even give him a platform.

It would be easier to accept this turnabout if he started with, "I was wrong" and then listed all the votes he regrets. That would be courageous and genuine. This is not.

And MSNow is now helping him sell books while more than once he used both sides do it to defend this administration and his actions (or inactions).

We are what we do, not what we say. When it actually mattered, Tillis chickened out and betrayed a key witness who was brave enough to tell the truth about Hegseth.

When the opportunity arose to explain his unwillingness to convict, he misled the interview by saying there was not trial. And there was no trial because he and his worse-than-worthless colleagues in the U.S. Senate refused to schedule a trial, because they knew the consequences to any appointments

Thom Tillis is a phony and people shouldn't look to him as any sort of truth teller. He claims to have stood up to Trump many times, but somehow can't be specific with the examples. His criticism of the president is always shielded in Trump getting bad advice.

There are very few brave Rs at this point. Thomas Massie would be one of them. Even Mad Marge,before she stepped down, showed more balls than the likes of Tillis. He's a spineless coward pretending to be some type of truth teller.

Keyword is pretending. Sure Tillis is better than somebody totally insane. Lunatic GOP politicians but if this guy is a hero, if this guy is a defender of democracy, I’m a trillionaire.

I would not spend a dime on that guy's book. I have heard him in 2 recent interviews. He is not humbly recognizing issues luke you and Liz did. He has nothing to say that I want to hear - until he can drop the arrogant attitude.

Do not listen to any Republican trying to save face right now because they are only doing it for a re-election campaign. They have proven themselves over the last 10 years they do not give one single flying fuck about anyone but themselves. Complete fucking traitors to this nation and its people.

Anyone who voted against the certification of Joe Biden can not claim to be for democracy Then the ones who did whatever Trump wants them to can't be for democracy They can pretend all they want It doesn't work for me

Thanks for highlighting Tillis’ failure to actually stand up to Trump. CNN has had him on two different shows and these “so called” news people have failed to point out Tillis’ spineless actions. CNN, call out any and all politicians that “supposedly” see the light.

Here’s to Thom Tillis, going out as he lived in Congress: an obedient puppy. He confirmed every Cabinet pick, then blamed the aides, not the man who hired them. He barked once the leash came off. He says 30-plus colleagues, likely more, agree in private. Expect them to rewrite history as taught.

Tillis has always talked tough and acted like he was doing the right thing, but when it really mattered, his spine left him. Just another performative GOP coward. He had all the info, and still voted for the worst cabinet in history.

Everybody is having him on their shows. Some have pressed him on all of the caving but he thinks he is awesome. He’s not the first, there will be many. How we let them is important. Starting by not doing the book promo maybe?

Tillis is the single stupidest and jingoistic Senator since Rick Santorum . . . Tillis hasn't met a single flesh and blood constituent he wouldn't sell out for a penny of "campaign donations."

This political party cannot be trusted again for decades. America cannot forget what the Racist Party's elected representatives were willing to do to the nation, its citizens, its military, its economy, its standing in the world, etc.

Nothing finds a man's courage like a book pre-sale. Ten years of holding the door open for Trump and suddenly he's selling spine in hardcover. The bravery of a guy reading his Amazon ranking.

Oh sure, NOW he finds his voice. After ten years of rubber-stamping every ugly thing Trump did. The bravery of a man with preorders to move. What a profile in book-tour courage.

It has never been that they didn’t know how, it has always been that they were unwilling. They only become willing when it suits another purpose

I mean, it takes some real brass balls to look at your voting record, see how much of a simp cuck you were to Trump and then try to rewrite history that you were, in fact, a paragon of virtue. He should be dragged for every shitty word in that book and made to eat every page of lies, live on air.

It took me far too long to look at Tillis' background and realize he was only pretending to be the Dumbfuckistan chud Ted Budd really is, and from that moment, my disgust continually increased. Especially after he pulled out of the race and continued to vote in lockstep.

I dunno man, Thomas Tillis has the same name as his dad, Thomas Tillis, as does the Senator’s brother Thomas Tillis, & the Senator’s other brother, Thomas Tillis.

Saw Tillis on with Jen Psaki. Interesting how people leaving or retiring from Congress suddenly have the capacity to break with TRUMP. Suddenly they make sense, are aware if the chaos, the corruption. Sound reasonable. In the case of MTG, even appear sane now (mostly).

I grew up in North Carolina. The only good Republican is a disgraced Republican who's retiring to lick his wounds and disappear into irrelevance. Stop shoving a microphone in Tillis's face. He has nothing of worth to say.

Just for Republican voters to note: As polls have shown, thousands of other Republican voters have ALREADY moved away from supporting Trump and HIS sycophant Congressional supporters, YOU should JOIN them, or else be LEFT BEHIND in the trash.

Adam, much respect for you. However Tillis defending Todd Blanche and declaring that Mitch McConnell's brain is still sharp, completely erased what minimal respect I had for Tillis.

Yep. That Mitch McConnell comment is right up there with how Rs felt when Ds said Biden was sharp. Major gaslighting.

Standing up to Trump is not hard. He is just a bully and like every bully in existence - he will cower, and convince, and cry. Fuck Tillis. There are no heroes in the Republican party.

Tillis is spinning shite on his way out. He blames Obama and Biden for 47. What a stretch. He never mentioned Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr, or Bush Jr., who ALL stretched the boundaries of the Constitution and rule of law. Tillis defended J6 pardons, just like 47 defended the Cornell rapists. GBye Tillis.

Every one of Trump's enablers need to be held accountable. Especially those who are distancing themselves from Trump just to get re-elected. 12th hour conversions don't cut it.

I read FDR Champion of Freedom and now I’m about through with Truman by Mccullough. I do think you have the old school honor people use to at least pretend to have. That’s refreshing. Although if you support Republican tax or economic policy I can’t support you.

They’re just fighting to keep their jobs so they can continue to suck the teat of American economy dry

Thom's publisher can keep his stupid book. Step one for Thom, call Republicans what they really are ... corrupt pimps for rich people.

It's pretty clear who the conservatives with principle are, you and the members of the Lincoln project among them. Rats will always seek the high ground in stormy weather but always return to feed if they think the danger to them has passed.

What? I've listened to plenty of his book tour interviews, he never mentions America, only what's best for the Republican Party and he never holds Trump responsible for anything. It's all just bad advice from his aides

he’s been on just about every show on cable news. Even the ONLY NETWORK WE THOUGHT COULD BE A BIT UPFRONT HONEST DEMOCRACY DEFENDING @ms.now CHOSE TO COVER HIM - some anchors seeming to really enjoy being lied to, gaslight & spoken to in the usual defiant self righteous repub way😡 truly disgusted.

Yup, flip-flopping in a patently transparent way...but still not quite sure how to actually desert the sinking hull and still keep their cowardly arses in their 'duly elected' seats 🤔

Tillis supported sTrump completely and changing after sTrump primaries him out of political existence. Sounds like a coward to me. And now a book that's not worth kindling for my fireplace. He can fuck off!
