In his post-midterm election press conference, President Donald Trump called out Republican candidates who lost in their respective races on Tuesday for not embracing the GOP’s message leading up to the midterms.
He singled out candidates like Rep. Mia Love (Utah), Rep. Barbara Comstock (Va.) and businessman Bob Hugin (N.J.) for not embracing his message of “low taxes, low regulations, low crimes, strong borders and great judges.”
As an example, Trump said that Love asked him for help over an American hostage’s release from Venezuala, but in return “Mia Love gave me no love.”
He added that he wasn’t sure whether or not to feel happy or sad for the defeated candidates, but that he “feels just fine about it.”
