Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out at the Wall Street Journal after the conservative newspaper urged Republicans to abandon the former president and “Trumpism.”
The paper’s editorial board blamed Trump for the losses of Georgia Senate seats and ultimately the U.S. Senate, writing: “Mr. Trump had one landmark victory in 2016 but he has cost the GOP dearly since.”
Unable to respond on Twitter or Facebook after being banned from both platforms, Trump sent out a press release blasting the paper as “irrelevant” and accusing the editorial board of pushing “globalist policies such as bad trade deals, open borders, and endless wars.”
“They fight for RINOS that have so badly hurt the Republican Party,” Trump said, according to The Hill. “That’s where they are and that’s where they will always be. Fortunately, nobody cares much about The Wall Street Journal editorial anymore. They have lost great credibility.”
