Outgoing RINO Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) apparently wants President Donald Trump to know that the phone-number game can go both ways.
During an appearance Monday on ABC’s far-left daytime program “The View,” Tillis delivered what sounded like a thinly veiled warning to President Trump after the hosts brought up Trump’s decision to publicly post Senator Tom Cotton’s phone number over the weekend.
According to Breitbart:
Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “Last year, you announced you’re retiring from the Senate after this term, following a very public fallout with the president over his Big Beautiful Bill. In the book, you include some private exchanges with the president after he called you a ‘loser’ and took credit for forcing you out of the Senate, actually. You claim to have written him, denying his account and saying, ‘I would have immediately told you to go blank yourself’ and ‘I don’t take this B.S. from anyone, including you, Mr. President.’ Did you hear back from him?”
Tillis said, “Actually, we’ve talked or texted back and forth several times since then.”
Co-host Ana Navarro said, “He’s gonna give your phone away after this.”
Tillis said, “With all due respect, I have his number, too.”
Hostin said, “Earlier we talked about the president supposedly giving out the cell number of Senator Tom Cotton, so you should be concerned about your phone number, in a dispute over policy. Are you concerned about the president coming after you after he has someone read this book to him?”
Tillis said, “Not at all. Look, we could dedicate a whole show to me, the book ends of overreach and vindictive prosecutions, etc. For people to forget about their party’s overreach puts that party in peril in the next election. That’s my whole point. Most of the people in this country live between the 35 yard lines in politics. And the party that figures that out first is going to have a structural majority because the rest of us are tired of the garbage.”
WATCH:
Retiring RINO Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) took his war on President Donald Trump to the friendliest possible audience on Monday, the ladies of ABC’s “The View”, and answered a joke about getting his phone number posted with a threat of his own.
“With all due respect, I got his number too,” Tillis told the panel.

The North Carolina senator was on the show to hawk How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents, the memoir The Gateway Pundit reported on last week after Tillis handed screenshots of profanity-laced texts to the press.
In one May 22 message he wrote, “I don’t take this bull**** from anyone, including you Mr. President.” In a June 6 text he bragged that if Trump had ever threatened him with a primary, “I would have immediately told you to f*** yourself.”
He never actually said it to the president’s face. He is saying the version that sells books, on a daytime panel that has spent years calling Trump a threat to democracy.
