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

Posted on 08/16/2016 7:04:26 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

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.

I guess she’s doubling down on her own irrelevance.

Just for the record, I am voting FOR Trump, NOT AGAINST Hillary. I don’t think I am morally tainted in any way. Quite the opposite, but I will admit that Trump isn’t exactly my “hero” where it concerns morals.

These people have no ratings except for the 6% that still trust them. But the good news is that every time they say something so patently false like “Trump is immoral” they lose even some of those people.

She’s not a journalist and has never done balanced reporting. She is a liberal hack from an old line, prominent Democrat family (daughter of Hale Boggs).

Which plainly demonstrates her stupidity or blatant lying. TRUMP IS NOT A DEMOCRAT!!!

EVERY LAST JIM CROW LAW WAS INSTITUTED BY DEMOCRATS ALONE

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

No, Democrat Operative Cokie, it is you who support baby murder, homosexuality, and slavery in the form of taxes imposed on others, who are morally tainted.

You are the most evil vermin this nation has ever tolerated, and I hope some day to see you brought to account for the lies you have told and the damage it has caused.

"Cokie" (apt name BTW) is just delusional and pretty well disconnected from reality. Bless her heart. Scarborough is just as bad.

Like every human being, Trump is imperfect. That said, he is far and away the best presidential candidate this cycle.

Trump/Pence 2016!!!

Not sure, but I would suspect Cokie took the stance that what Bill Clinton did in his private life is no ones business. It doesn’t matter that he transformed a cigar into a sex toy and employed it on a young intern, while he was in the Oval Office. That would definitely not qualify as morally tainted, would it Cokie?

This old loon is crazier than Clintoon. Old communists never die, they just smell that way.
