NASHVILLE – U.S. Sen. Bob Corker introduced Donald Trump this evening to a cheering crowd in Raleigh, N.C., amid reports the presumptive GOP nominee is vetting the Tennessee Republican among others as a potential vice presidential pick.
Corker said at the rally that after spending time earlier with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee and his family he sees the respect those around Trump have and the love the billionaire businessman has for his supporters.
“Somebody once told me it’s not who you know in life, it’s how you know them,” said the Tennessee Republican, who was first introduced by Trump as a “great friend of mine, someone respected by everyone.”
Corker went on to say he “had the incredible privilege today to spend time with this man, to spend time with his family and those who know him so well.
“And I figured out the reason that you love him so much is because” Corker began as the crowd began cheering prompting the former Chattanooga mayor to smile, wait and finally say, “I’m taking up his time. Let me just say this,” Corker continued. “The reason you love him so much is because he loves you. He loves you, and he wants the best for you.”
