Conservative radio personality Erick Erickson issued a scathing rebuke of President Donald Trump on Monday over his decision to accept a $400 million Boeing 747-8 aircraft from the Qatari royal family—a move that has drawn growing bipartisan scrutiny.
Erickson, a longtime voice in right-wing media, rejected the idea that the gift was technically a bribe or outright corruption but argued that the symbolic and moral implications of accepting such a gift from Qatar were deeply troubling.
