On Wednesday, CNN’s Brooke Baldwin mediated a debate between Republican strategist Rick Wilson and talk show host and Trump fan Ben Ferguson about Sen. Bob Corker’s (R-Tennessee) recent rant against the Republican party’s slavish devotion to President Donald Trump.

Corker called the GOP’s fealty to the President “cult-like,” railing against members of his party for failing to stand up to the President.
