CNN’s Lauren Fox: GOP Leadership Really Wishes the President Would Stop Tweeting

‘I think Republicans aren’t even saying this in private anymore;

RUSH EXCERPT: 
SCIUTTO: "Yeah. Lauren, you spend a lot of time on the hill. Listen, you’ve heard in private from Democrats and Republicans for months now and even going back to before the election, discomfort with the president’s Twitter style and some of his public comments. Do you sense on the hill, particularly among Republicans, that I don’t know that the latest ones are beyond the pale in some way or do they just kind of say — throw their hands up in the air and say that’s the way he is?"
FOX: "I think Republicans aren’t even saying this in private anymore. They’re very public with the concerns of the president’s tweeting. When you talk to anyone in Republican leadership they tell you, man, I really wish the president would stop tweeting. I don’t think these comments are going to make them reach out in any way they haven’t tried already. The president tweets about national security issues. He tweets about policy that he may or not be super familiar with when they’re in the middle of trying to craft deals on health care policy or tax policy, so I don’t see Republicans weighing in now saying this is totally unacceptable, but obviously, you know, there are some racial issues here with the way that the president is talking about this family."
