Don Jr. and Eric Trump savaged leading Republicans for not defending their father
[Bus Insider] President Donald Trump's older sons, Eric and Donald Jr., slammed top Republicans on Twitter on Thursday, accusing them of not sufficiently defending their father as election results come in.Donald Jr. accused "2024 GOP hopefuls" of a "total lack of action," while Eric suggested that those who did not stand up for Trump were "sheep." In response, several top Republicans appear to have stepped up to support the president. The Trump sons' rallying cries came a few hours before the president made a White House speech filled with unsubstantiated accusations of voter fraud and complaints about "phony polls." The Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, and Georgia to contest their vote counts, though some have already been tossed out. The lack of GOP support on these claims apparently irked the president's sons, who accused Republicans of cowardice and of prioritizing future political chances over defending their father. Donald Jr. tweeted: "The total lack of action from virtually all of the '2024 GOP hopefuls' is pretty amazing. "They have a perfect platform to show that they're willing & able to fight but they will cower to the media mob instead. Don't worry, @realDonaldTrump will fight & they can watch as usual!"
