“Tone down the tweets, don't punch down, you're the president of the United States,” said King in an interview on the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery” when asked if he had any advice for the president. I mean, just don't punch down.
Retiring New York Republican Rep. Peter King has some parting advice for President Trump: Curb the tweets and “don’t punch down” if you want to prevail in what is likely to be a “tough” road to reelection.
King, 75, who has represented a district in the Long Island suburbs since 1993, last week announced he won’t seek reelection because he wants to spend more time with his children and grandchildren.
King insisted repeatedly during the interview that there was nothing wrong with Trump pressing Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who had a seat on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company. But he cast his opposition to impeachment in a broader context. King also offered rare insight into a president who, he says, is intensely following the impeachment debate in the House, keeping close tabs on which members are supporting or opposing him like a sports fan devouring “baseball box scores.”
