11:00am Senate Session, Informal Session

"Donald Trump Jr. is both intensely unappealing and uninteresting. He combines in his person corruption, ineptitude, and banality. He is perpetually aggrieved; obsessed with trolling the left; a crude, one-dimensional figure who has done a remarkably good job of keeping from public view any redeeming qualities he might have."

Peter Wehner, a former speechwriter for Ronald Reagan and both Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush

Criticizing Donald Trump Jr. for his recent comments about biblical principles and called him out for being a callow opportunist taking advantage of the Trump name.
