Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) said Thursday that her Republican colleagues are a lot more honest about President Donald Trump behind closed doors than in public.

During an appearance on MSNBC, the Missouri Democrat ticked off what she had heard from GOP senators about the president behind his back.

“Nuts, weak, doesn’t really understand government, doesn’t care to understand anything complicated, asks and says the most unbelievable things in meetings that clearly shows he doesn’t understand the subject matter, no intellectual curiosity,” said McCaskill, who lost her re-election bid in November.

“I believe history will judge down the line those members of the Republican Party who have silently looked down and think they can just wait this out, without even speaking up about the level of lying that goes on,” she added.

1. It's been a bad week for Traitor Trump. Finally! Let's get our country back, now.

4. Cenk used to be exactly like Scarborough,

he was anti-feminist, anti-abortion, anti-affirmative action, but Cenk changed big time. The catalyst was our invasion into Iraq.

Today, Cenk is not even close to Joe Scarborough. Cenk was a Bernie guy who voted for Hillary. Cenk was demoted on MSNBC by Phil Griffin because Cenk was too progressive, so rather than take a demotion he went to Current TV, where, by the way, Keith Olbermann also worked because he was fired by Phil Griffin. Cenk will call it as he sees it and yes he did criticize the Democrats who voted for the farm bill which stopped the Yemen debate.
How many DU'ers agree with what those Democrats did? Should Democrats be supporting our involvement in Yemen? Yes, Cenk did say he didn't like Schumer's body language at the televised meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Trump. To me that's a nothingburger.

Cenk Uygur used to be a Joe Scarborough, IMO, today he isn't even close to Joe, Cenk is further to the left than most Democrats. did he criticize Democrats from time to time? Yes he did. Did those Democrats deserve to be criticized, you tell me? IMO it would be nice for us to get out of Yemen.

I understand that we are not supposed to criticize Democrats. Are we also not allowed to criticize the handful of Democrats who voted with the Republicans? I am criticizing the way they voted with Republicans. If that is wrong, Alert me. By the way, Chris Hayes agrees with me too, is he also like Joe Scarborough?

5. I'm with Charlie Pierce on Cenk..

8. Sharice Davids is an inspiration,

Cenk was way off base criticizing her.

[vlyons]

3. I am so sorry to see McCaskill go

She was a fine Senator. I'm not from her state, but I thought she was a fine senator

[Achilleaze]

6. True that

But how much weaker to be a submissive doormat for a treasonous, draft-dodging, lying a-hole, as the republican party has done.

[zentrum]

7. Mitch McConnell is the key evil

...here.

He knows everything about Trump and only makes calculations based on keeping power for Repugs and their donors.

Doesn't give a flying damn about the country or the government. Absolute scum.

Wish McCaskill would call him out by name.

[Auggie]

10. +1. It's about filling as many life-time judicial positions as possible while Trump's in office.

That's the prize.

[zentrum]

13. Yes! Something like 79?

I think that's the number I heard.

It's McC's top priority. Now his cronies can break the law with impunity.

He's so sinister. Ready to break every institution and branch of government. A true autocratic Oligarch.

The Dems need to scream to the rafters about the effects of this packing. The media needs to cover.

[DeminPennswoods]

9. Nothing like making a little mischief on the way out

methinks.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Those Republicons KNOW and yet they continue to ENABLE him for their greedy power grabs.

Traitors.

[RobinA]

16. Well, That's What

makes me think he may be nuts, but he's got them tied in knots, so I'm not sure "weak" is what I'd call him.

[cstanleytech]

12. To bad all those Repugnants lack enough spine to stand up to him and say that rather

than bend over and kiss his boots.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

14. Yeah, it think that shows how weak they are that they. n/t

[Paladin]

15. Yet another retiree, finally having enough guts to speak the truth.

Thanks for very little, Senator McCaskill.

[SpankMe]

17. Trump is weak and nuts in public, too. n/t
