President Donald Trump took a swing at defiant Republicans following a reported clash between himself and a scorned GOP lawmaker.
Trump was attending the Senate GOP lunch after refusing to sign a bipartisan housing bill and claiming he needed Republicans to back the Save America Act. During the event, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) apparently confronted Trump over the legislation and Iran war. Cassidy and Trump have had a contentious relationship, with Trump endorsing a GOP challenger who ousted Cassidy in his primary bid for re-election.
"I don't like a few people, but that's okay. I think you know who they are," Trump said after leaving the luncheon, where Republicans have voiced mounting frustration and tension within the party.
Trump denied friction among party leaders.
"But for the most part, we have a really well unified party," Trump said.
