GoogleNews 08/19/18 9:41:36 AM #1:	https://goo.gl/BRQiZu The president of the United States had just lobbed another racially charged insult this time calling his former top African American adviser a dog but Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) had no interest in talking about it. Ive got more important things on my mind, so I really dont have a comment on that, said the Senates No. 2 Republican, chuckling at the question. Has President Trump ever said anything on race that made Cornyn uncomfortable? I think the most important thing is to pay attention to what the president does, which I think has been good for the country, the senator demurred. What about his constituents back home are they concerned? I know you have to ask these questions but Im not going to talk about that, Cornyn said, politely ending the brief interview in the basement of the U.S. Capitol. I just think thats an endless little wild goose chase and Im not going there. And so it went last week among Republicans: As Trump immersed the nation in a new wave of fraught battles over race, most GOP lawmakers tried to ignore the topic altogether. The studied avoidance is a reflection of the enduring reluctance of Republicans to confront Trumps often divisive and inflammatory rhetoric, in part because the president remains deeply popular within a party dominated by older white voters. The Washington Post reached out to all 51 Republican senators and six House Republican leaders asking them to participate in a brief interview about Trump and race. Only three senators agreed to participate: Jeff Flake of Arizona, David Perdue of Georgia and Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only black Republican in the Senate. Flake, a frequent Trump critic who is retiring, rattled off examples when asked if there were times he felt Trump had been racially insensitive. It started long before his campaign, the whole Barack Obama, the birtherism . . . that was abhorrent, I thought, Flake said in a phone interview. And then you know, the Mexican rapists . . . on his first official day as a campaign. And then you know, Judge Curiel, the statement that he couldnt judge because of his heritage. Failure to, you know, condemn in Charlottesville. Just the willingness to go there, all the time. Muslim ban. This kind of divide-and-conquer strategy. Its just its been one thing after another. Six other lawmakers granted impromptu interviews when approached in the Capitol, although most declined to be specific about whether they were uncomfortable with any of Trumps statements on race. One exception was Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, another Trump critic who is leaving Congress in January. Its a formula that I think they think works for them, as it relates to winning, Corker said, referring to the use of divisive racial issues by Trump and his advisers. I think thats their kind of governing. I think thats how they think they stay in power, is to divide. Several other lawmakers said they did not like some of Trumps language, especially on race, but did not consider Trump to be racist. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the No. 3 Republican in the Senate, said Trumps description of former black adviser Omarosa Manigault Newman as a dog was not appropriate, ever. But he stopped short of pointing to a time when he felt the president had crossed a racial boundary. I just think thats the way he reacts and the way he interacts with people who attack him, Thune said. I dont condone it. But I think its probably part built into his its just going to be in his DNA.
