Trump warned GOP's latest revolt is just the tip of the iceberg: 'They're not alone'

President Donald Trump has been blocked at every turn by Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) from appointing Todd Blanche as the permanent attorney general.

But their opposition is just the tip of the iceberg, conservative journalist David Drucker told MS NOW's Laura Barron-Lopez on "The Moment" Friday — and the first signs of a broader revolt brewing in the GOP.

Barron-Lopez started by asking Drucker whether the White House is "concerned at all" about a gathering resistance, to which he said there are signs of exactly that.

"This is one of those rare instances in this Congress where we saw widespread rejection among Republican senators, and even Republicans in the House of Representatives, having to do with this so-called anti-weaponization fund," said Drucker, adding that the fund's purpose of "cover[ing] the president and his family against ... future legal action and things" is a bridge too far for many.

"I don't think you're going to see a lot of give on this," Drucker continued. "Cornyn and Tillis, two outgoing senators, are out front on this, but they're not alone on an island. They represent quite a few voices."

Ultimately, he said, the whole mess signifies "how there's really no trust between a lot of Republicans in the Senate in particular and the White House. And it's a good example of the fact that the president may say that he's willing to do something. And then, you know, you can't count on it, because the very next day he said, well, that's a great idea. I haven't given up on it."

Drucker still believes, however, that in the end Blanche will get confirmed — but "it's up to the president" to make some concessions and break the logjam.
