On Tuesday, all three network morning shows encouraged Tennessee Senator and outspoken Trump critic Bob Corker to step up his attacks on the President. Hosts asked the Republican lawmaker if he thought the commander-in-chief was a “threat to national security,” wondered “what’s being done about it” in Congress, and invited him to double-down on his harshest rhetoric against the President.

“Senator, you of course know that you’ve been in the news a bit for your criticism of the President....And among the comments is that you’re concerned his comments, the President’s comments, ‘could put us in on the path to World War III,’” NBC Today co-host Savannah Guthrie began her question to Corker. She then urged him to go farther: “Let me put it bluntly, left to his own devices, do you think the President is a threat to national security?”

Corker replied: “I think that there are people around him that work in an effort to contain him.” Guthrie interjected to declare that he had proved her point: “Well, that almost seems to accept the premise of the question, if he needs to be contained?”

After the Senator reaffirmed his opinion that President Trump’s remarks about the North Korea crisis “really move our country into a binary choice which could lead to a world war,” fellow co-host Matt Lauer fretted that other members of Congress hadn’t joined Corker in blasting Trump:

Were you disappointed, Senator? I mean, it seemed to me when you made these comments recently, you were saying to your colleagues, “Come on, folks, let’s go, I’ll get out here, and let’s speak truth to power.” And then, there was this thud and a kind of eerie silence. Are you disappointed that more of your colleagues didn’t speak their minds following your comments?

In part, Corker humbly proclaimed: “I’m one senator who is expressing what I believe to be sincere...this is the role that I believe I should play for the good of our country. And for the good of the world, really.”

At no point did Guthrie or Lauer challenge any of Corker’s assertions about the President. That’s really not surprising since Lauer suggested on Thursday’s show that military leaders in the administration should launch a coup against Trump to prevent him from starting a war.

Talking to Corker on CBS This Morning, co-host Charlie Rose touted former presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama making veiled critiques of Trump: “Without naming the President, they seem to be doing what you also have spoken about, the fitness of the President.” Rose asked: “What are your concerns about this president?”

After Corker declared that “it appears to be the governing model of this White House to purposely divide,” co-host Gayle King pleaded for action: “We keep hearing privately, Senator Corker, that many people feel the way you do. So, what’s being done about it on Capitol Hill?”

The Senator assured her:

One of the things we’re going to be doing, beginning a week from this coming Monday night, we’re going to begin to walk through a series of discussions about the authorization for the use of military force, what powers the President has, talk about some of the international alignments that we have that are very important to our country, making the American people even more aware of some of the destructive things that are happening.

On ABC’s Good Morning America, co-host George Stepahanopoulos cited Corker’s attacks: “You’ve had some tough words for President Trump. You compared the White House to an adult day-care center, you said he’s putting us perhaps on the path towards World War III, and said most of your colleagues agree with you behind closed doors.” He then gently pressed: “Any second thoughts about those comments?”

Corker seized the chance to maintain his fearmongering:

No, George, I don’t make comments that I haven’t thought about....we’ve got this issue in North Korea and the President continues to kneecap his diplomatic representative, the Secretary of State....The President undermines our Secretary of State, raises tensions in the area by virtue of the tweets that he sends out, and I would just like for him to leave it to the professionals for a while and see if we can do something that’s constructive for our country, the region, and the world.

“Sounds like no second thoughts,” Stephanopoulos satisfyingly concluded.

Rather that try to turn down Corker’s incendiary rhetoric about the President starting another world war, the liberal media were united in their effort to give the Senator a megaphone to launch more attacks on Trump.

The biased coverage across all three networks was brought to viewers by Jimmy Dean, Chevrolet, and IBM.
