Republicans rally around Sessions after Trump criticism
By Katie Bo Williams and Scott Wong - 07/20/17 01:56 PM EDT

Republicans on Thursday rushed to the defense of Attorney General Jeff Sessions after President Trump levied stinging criticism on the former Alabama senator over his recusal from the federal Russia investigation.

In a wide-ranging interview published late Wednesday, Trump told The New York Times that he wouldn’t have hired Sessions to lead the Justice Department had he know that he would step aside from the probe — a shocking criticism that suggested a dramatic breakdown in their relationship and ignited speculation that Sessions might resign.

But Republicans on and off Capitol Hill rallied around Sessions Thursday, praising his integrity and service and insisting that there is no need for him to step down.

My guess is that all on the right are aware that they're just one loose word away from a stab in the back by Trump. Would that his recklessness of speech had been understood and rejected during the primary. Wait your turn, folks. Trump will get around to goring your ox eventually.

Trump was selected because he "made liberal's head explode". That's it. That was his one qualification.

Now we're in for a long 4 years...
