7 GOP Senators Who Could Be On Donald Trump’s Naughty List
HuffPost
Republicans who oppose Trump's Cabinet nominees could find themselves with a lump of coal — or a primary challenger — in the next Congress.
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is making a naughty list and checking it twice.
That’s according to one Republican senator who likened the public pressure the president-elect is putting on members of Congress to confirm his Cabinet nominees next year to Santa Claus handing out lumps of coal to misbehaving children.
“Everybody toe the line, everybody line up,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said at a conference earlier this month, characterizing Trump’s approach. “We got you here, and if you want to survive you better be good. Don’t get on Santa’s naughty list here because we will primary you.”
Trump himself didn’t deny that he might seek retribution against Republican senators who oppose his top picks to lead federal agencies while speaking at a press conference in Florida.
“If they’re unreasonable, if they’re opposing somebody for political reasons or stupid reasons… I would say they probably would be primaried,” Trump said of GOP senators this month.
