Kraut is a moral disgrace. He just can’t get over his Trump hate. Just like Steve Hayes.
To understand why Krauthammer continues to lambast Trump as an “unfit” president whose speech is “immoral”, one first has to understand Jewish civil religion. According the sociologist John Murray Cuddihy, Jews (and Catholics and Protestants) embrace a civic and civil religion of “niceness” and non-offensiveness. Trump violates the American civil religion of niceness when he intentionally tries to bust political censuring codes and norms (political correctness). It is not coincidental that those who believe Trump’s speech disqualifies him to be president are often Jewish: Charles Krauthammer, Michael Medved, David Brooks, Jonah Goldberg, even Dennis Prager (although Prager endorsed Trump); or Protestant Christians like Peter Wehner. Toleration and being “nice” is the central tenet of Jewish civil religion. So when Krauthammer calls Trump’s press conference a “moral disgrace”, what he is really saying is that Trump isn’t Jewish (or Jewish enough). This could be seen as a religious or cultural prejudice on the part of Krauthammer who wants a “Jewish” (nice guy) president, not a blunt talking WASP president who sounds like Damon Runyan. Call this the Jewish “allergy” toward Trump. Jews (and Christians) don’t want to see the immorality of political correctness as dodging the truth. Truth has to come higher on the value scale than niceness when it comes to politics.
The panels on "Special Report with Bret Baier" over the past two days have been amazing to watch. BRAVA to Mollie Hemingway and Laura Ingraham, who fiercely stood up against Trump-haters Steve Hayes and Charles Krauthammer!
