Outgoing Sen. Bob Corker criticized Donald Trump on Twitter Sunday after the President lashed out at the Tennessee Republican.
In a series of tweets, Trump claimed that Corker abandoned a plan to run for a third Senate term because the President would not endorse him.
The President then falsely stated that the senator was responsible for the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which Trump and his allies have long disparaged as “the worst deal ever.”
Senator Bob Corker just stated that, “I’m so priveledged to serve in the Senate for twelve years, and that’s what I told the people of our state that’s what I’d do, serve for two terms.” But that is Not True – wanted to run but poll numbers TANKED when I wouldn’t endorse him…..

…..Bob Corker was responsible for giving us the horrible Iran Nuclear Deal, which I ended, yet he badmouths me for wanting to bring our young people safely back home. Bob wanted to run and asked for my endorsement. I said NO and the game was over. #MAGA I LOVE TENNESSEE!

Bob Corker was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He had power to hold hearings and issue subpoenas on eg Trump’s reliance on Russian money since 2006. It’s ugly to see Trump hurling personal abuse at Corker. But – Corker had a gavel, he could have used it
