Cokie Roberts: Trump and Those Who Support Him are ‘Morally Tainted’
Legal Insurrection ^

Question for Cokie Roberts and Joe Scarborough: does the name Hillary Clinton ring a bell? On today’s Morning Joe, NPR’s Roberts and Scarborough proclaimed Donald Trump “morally tainted.” Roberts took it one step further, also declaring “morally tainted” those who support Trump.
Scarborough asked Roberts whether she’d ever seen “a candidate so morally tainted, so challenged that people are calling him a racist and calling him a con man, at the same time saying we support him?” Roberts said no one has ever seen anything like this, and for good measure, citing her roots growing up in the Jim Crow South, suggested Trump’s candidacy was a “stain” taking the country back in that direction.
But when it came to being morally tainted, Hillary’s name never crossed the lips of Roberts or Scarborough.

As long as Cokie is wearing her reporter hat she’s the tainted one for failing to give balanced reporting.

It’s like these shows are satire. It’s just becoming comical.

EVERYONE is morally "tainted" ... There is none good, no not one.
But the cankled beast (the only available alternative to a "morally tainted" Trump), is the morally empty hillary.
I'll take the tainted bull in a china shop for a thousand, Alex ....

Can not understand why anyone would think Trump voters are racists.
Reporters should come to this website and see that Trump voters harbor no racial obsessions or animus.
