Tester Braces for Trump's Revenge

April 27, 2018 at 7:15 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) “didn’t intend to play a central role in taking down President Trump’s pick to lead the Veterans Affairs Department. Yet that’s exactly what the Montana Democrat ended up doing. And now, Trump is coming after him,” Politico reports.

“The president is enraged over Tester’s work documenting allegations of malfeasance by Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, which quickly unraveled Jackson’s nomination to be VA secretary and marks a turning point in the relationship between the moderate Democrat and Trump.”

“As Tester’s reelection campaign kicks into high gear, Trump is more motivated than ever to campaign against him in the ruby-red state — accusing the senator of irresponsibly leaking the damaging information to undermine the president’s nominee. Trump said Thursday that Tester will have a ‘big price to pay’ for his part in working to sink Jackson’s nomination.”

This is nonsense. No one knows or cares about Jackson. And Trump will make headlines with terrible news every day until November. No one will care about this or remember it.

Of course I'd expect publications like Politico to try to make something of it.
