The list of Trump, lapdogs who have now turned on him just keeps growing.
But it is notable that the individuals who are finally speaking out against
Trump really have nothing to lose.
Now, the latest to join that list is a former Republican Representative,
Lou Barletta.
And Barletta was one of Trump's earliest allies in the house and he also co chaired
Trump's 2016 campaign in Pennsylvania during his final term in office.
Though, he enthusiastically supported Trump and his policies and
then decided I wanna run for governor in Pennsylvania.
That's what he wanted to do.
And I'm hoping that the man that I've been so loyal to endorses me, but
that's not what Trump did.
Trump did the opposite.
Now on Sunday, Barletta decided to slam Trump in an interview with
politico where he said, quote.
I'm not supporting him, I was one of his most loyal supporters in Congress,
but loyalty was only a one way street.
So when he left Congress in 2019 and ran for governor in Pennsylvania Trump
decided I'm gonna go ahead and endorse, of course, Doug Mastriano.
Dug Mastriano lost.
But nonetheless, I love to see it.
And he also just gently critiqued Trump on the campaign trail and
I'm talking about Barletta here.
So let's take a quick look at that video and I'll fill you in on more.
>> There's no denying there was another big endorsement by president Trump and
I wanna say this loud and clear to president Trump you are dead wrong.
And I'm gonna prove it on Tuesday.
>> He went on to lose the Republican primary for that gubernatorial race
in Pennsylvania and then Dug Mastriano ended up losing the general election.
But there is another former Republican who lambasted Trump.
I'll get to him in just a moment, but Genk it is notable that like
we're talking about a former member of Congress who is now free.
Untethered to any election, any type of quest for power.
So he's free to actually tell the truth about Trump.
It's really interesting.
>> Look, the thing that bothers me is that my whole life, I was told by newspapers
and television predominantly that politicians are honorable people.
Look at them, I mean, they're all dupes and cowards.
So Barletta, what's he complaining about?
He's like I was the first to kiss Trump's ass and
I thought that that meant something.
Yeah, Lou no, you're an idiot.
And by the way, did you criticize Trump
through all the terrible things that he did even as a right winger.
A lot of the politicians don't agree with Trump on many things, right?
Do they ever come out and
say anything no, only at the last moment after Trump snubbed him.
Does he say, he was dead wrong, but even that's mild, right?
And it doesn't explain why he's wrong, doesn't explain what's wrong with Trump.
And then he loses of course cuz he didn't get Trump support.
Trump has never been loyal to anyone.
He buried his ex wife on a golf course to get a tax break,
you think he was gonna be loyal to you?
You schmuck, Chris Christie was the first Republican legitimate candidate for
president to get out of the race and endorse Trump.
That was a big moment.
I don't know if you guys remember it, but that was kind of a turning point for
Trump become incredible.
And then remember he stood like a goon behind Trump to hold up.
>> How could I forget it was this moment?
>> And then Trump didn't pick him to be the VP cuz he thought he was too fat.
>> No guys.
Okay, look this is the best thing about Trump.
Not what he thinks about Chris Christie due to his weight, right?
Like not that, but the fact that he embarrasses and
unmanned all of these Republican phonies who presented
themselves as these strong men for so many years.
And it turned out that they were just self interested
narcissistic losers who immediately cower.
Once a bigger narcissist enters the scene and that's of course Donald Trump.
>> Yeah, and don't get it twisted just cuz he's criticizing Trump.
Now Barletta is a terrible guy, he was on the first right wingers to go,
that hateful prick who's calling immigrants rapists and criminals.
I love that guy, right.
So now loser Barletta comes and goes, but I thought the hateful prick with them,
support my hateful campaign instead.
He supported the hateful campaign of another guy who's one of the kisses ass
even more.
And as these congressmen point out, Trump's trick is not that hard to tell.
And even then he still blows it.
He waits, waits, waits till it's nearly over and sees who's leading and
then endorses the guy who's leading, right?
And so he doesn't care about loyalty cuz he wants to improve his own record.
Of course.
>> So Tom Marino is another former Republican congressman out of Pennsylvania
and he had some thoughts about the lack of loyalty from Donald Trump.
In fact, he just simply says, where the hell is the loyalty?
Lou and I were the first congressman, you guys are embarrassing yourselves.
Like it's just okay, Lou and I were the first congressman to come out and
endorse Trump in his first election.
We took a lot of heat about it.
I'm very disappointed in the former president because
apparently the loyalty does not go as far as he says.
Look, the fact that they refused to ever criticize Trump
to critique him even lightly when they were in positions of power makes
their current comments in my opinion even more embarrassing for themselves.
>> Super embarrassing.
They basically just told all their voters, yeah, we were lying to you the whole time.
We thought Trump was a bad guy.
But hey, we thought enough ass kissing would do the trick.
But it turns out it didn't, but there is a second layer to it, which is,
yeah, this concept of loyalty.
It just doesn't exist in America anymore and I wish it did.
I think loyalty is a great thing.
I'm loyal to a fault, but.
>> It's the best thing about you.
>> Thank you, I appreciate that.
But also I'm a grown up and I know that even if you're loyal to some folks,
it might not return it, right.
So there's some former hosts that have left and even though we were go incredibly
kind to them, the minute they thought they could make a buck off of us.
They went and lied about us anyway, because the world is filled with pricks.
And Trump is the biggest one of all, and that leads to the last part of it,
which is Barletta and the other hateful guy.
If you guys couldn't figure out that Trump is not a good guy and
doesn't care about loyalty.
That he's only in it for himself, but you're not very bright either, right?
But at the end of the day,
I'll take it more Republicans that pylon telling people who Trump really is.
Maybe it'll break through a tiny bits of Republican voters because Republican
voters, guess what, you're just like Lou, Barletta and the other congressmen.
You think he's gonna be loyal to you,
that he's gonna build a wall, he's gonna do all these things that you
want him to do about the average American worker, create more jobs.
He's never done any of that.
What's the only thing he ever did when he was president?
Tax cuts for the rich?
>> Yeah. And
if you think your wages went up because of Trump,
just try to take a look at the ballot initiatives in your state at that time.
Because it was a ballot initiative where the majority of voters in
your state voted to increase the state's minimum wage.
Like in Missouri, Arkansas [CROSSTALK] Florida etc.
>> And by the way, every Republican in those states fought that tooth and
nail and they wanted to make sure you did not get higher wages.
And we had Matt Gates on the show right on election night.
And we said, how about higher wages?
She's like, no, no.
He's like, let's cut Medicaid instead.
>> The real problem is that there is a federal bit of a wage.
>> That's what he said,
he doesn't even want you to have the $7.25 as a minimum wage.
That's who Republicans are, that's who Donald Trump is
