Carl Bernstein wants press to probe secret anti-Trump sentiment in GOP
The Hill ^ | August 15, 2017 | Josh Delk

Posted on 08/15/2017 1:33:08 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Veteran journalist Carl Bernstein says “important Republicans” are saying privately that President Trump is “unfit” for office and urged reporters to look into how widespread those worries may be.

Bernstein took to Twitter on Tuesday to make the claims, but did not identify any specific individuals who have called Trump unfit.

He said reporters should look into how “pervasive such talk may be.”

(TWEETS-AT-LINK)

The famous Watergate reporter’s tweets come as Trump is under fire for his response to the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va., at a white supremacist rally over the weekend.

Trump initially blamed the violence on “many sides.” Those remarks drew condemnation from leaders in both parties. Trump readdressed the matter Monday, calling racism “evil” and singling out the KKK and neo-Nazis among other groups for organizing the rally.

Bernstein has been a vocal critic of Trump, saying last month that his administration was “dangerous beyond any modern presidency."

This boils down to a battle between the established Democrats and Republicans versus the people who elected Pres. Trump.

I imagine he talked to Jeb Bush (his even dumber brother got us into Iraq), John Kasich, Lindsay Graham, and John McCain, among others who are very sore losers.

He’s unfit because he’s not a spineless, backstabbing, do-nothing, A-Hole like the rest of the politicians?

Why don’t you investigate, Carl, whether politicians are being blackmailed or bribed?

You are an “investigative ‘Journ-O-List’” aren’t you?

or does that require too much work for you? No Deep Throat to make things EZ for you and your leftist cronies?

Important Republicans? Ah, yes. No names, but their initials are McCain, McGrahamnesty, McConnell, McJeb, McFlake, McMailmanson, et al.

I am sick of that Marxist old f@rt still spiking the ball after bringing down Richard Nixon.

Addlepated aged lib thinks he can now do the same to Trump.

They think after their big success this weekend it is time to turn up the heat on with normalizing the idea of his being so unfit that Congress may act.

I support it.

Let’s find out which GOP members believe this. Let them stand up and be counted.

The entire Mormon mafia wing under Romnye, Ryan is in there not as a Mormon but part of that group. Many self-proclaimed conservative pundits open declare Trump unfit for office. Krauthammer does so every chance he gets. Bill Kristol, many many others.

I'm all for having that investigated. I thought Bernstein was a reporter. What's his difficulty in doing the project himself?

You falks are missing sumtin’. The usual suspects are well known. It’s the one’s we don’t see. Donators, elected officials plus career civil service types.
