Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told reporters today that he “couldn’t care less” about criticism he faces for announcing his opposition to Ed Martin’s nomination to be U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C.
“I couldn’t care less. Look, these people out there are looking for 100% down the line. I can’t waste my time on people like that if I’m just one disagreement with the administration with the hundreds of transactions we have to deal with,” he said.
“North Carolina isn’t being well-served,” Ingraham wrote, adding that Tillis “has always been a Trump-hating, open borders, pro-perpetual war GOP nightmare.”
Tillis rebuffed Ingraham’s criticism in comments to reporters today.
“I’m not going to waste my time on people like Ingraham,” Tillis said. “Why should I care? Or anybody like that?”
Asked whether he’s concerned that the criticism could fuel a primary from the right in his re-election bid next year, Tillis said, “People should just pay attention to the relationship I have with the president versus all this speculation.”
“We’ll see where that ends up. I feel like I’m as comfortable with my relationship today as I was yesterday,” he added.
