The White House hit back hard at retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) over fiery, expletive-laden texts to President Donald Trump, calling it a “p*ssy move.”
A senior White House official responded to Tillis’s recently-revealed texts to the president in comments to Politico Playbook’s Megan Messerly, published on Saturday.
“Looks like a pussy move to send a text instead of actually saying it to someone’s face. Shows what kind of character he is,” the unidentified individual said.
Politico previously obtained and published a pair of text messages Tillis sent to the president over the summer, where he told him he won’t take his “bullsh*t.” The texts are set to be included in Tillis’s upcoming book, How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents.
In a June 6 text, Tillis told Trump to save his head games for “cowards and fools” and not use them on him.
He wrote:
As I have said before, you NEVER threatened me with a primary challenge. I get that you may have me confused with so many Republicans that you have threatened in the past, but NEVER me. If you had ever threatened me directly with a primary, I would have immediately told you to f*ck yourself, and I would have announced my retirement immediately. Save those threats and head games for cowards and fools.
In a May 22 text message, Tillis appeared to respond to a Truth Social post by Trump where he branded the senator “weak and inneffective.”
“I still want to help but I don’t take this bullsh*t from anyone, including you Mr. President. Save that sh*t for the cowards who don’t care if you fail. I care if you fail and right now we are failing,” the senator wrote.
