The hosts of “MSNBC Live” told viewers on Thursday that President Trump’s support continues to be strong due to an abundance of “selfish” Second Amendment supporters.

Co-anchors Stephanie Ruhle and Ali Velshi mulled over the White House’s solid support as the midterm elections near and concluded that self-centered Americans are to blame.

“While we could find or do find the president’s constant lying or lawlessness or reprehensible behavior morally unacceptable, a lot of people vote pretty selfishly, and they say, ‘What’s going to give me more money in my pockets?’ ” Ms. Ruhle told billionaire Tom Steyer.

Illegals, on the other hand, are entitled to nothing including 2A rights but expect welfare goodies and NBC is fine with that.

‘What’s going to give me more money in my pockets?’

Give, give, give!

That’s how liberals think. It doesn’t occur to them that
allowing them to KEEP more of their OWN money is good for
everyone.

Yes, the Second Amendment is the same today as the day
it was written. Why would they want to interpret it some
other way? The answer is because it gets in the way of
their socialist agenda and the enslavement of the polis.

Morons. The 2nd amendment does not confer any rights. It tells the government what they may not do with regard to our God given rights. Our rights exist regardless of what some piece of paper says.

“...a lot of people vote pretty selfishly, and they say, ‘What’s going to give me more money in my pockets?”

At the end of the day, we all vote for policies that make our lives better. Ourselves, our family, our community better off. Sometimes that’s tied to money like taxes. Self interest is not necessarily selfish.

Some serious left wing spin doctoring going on here.

These people have truly lost their minds, and we have DJT to thank for it. That, all by itself, justifies his presidency.
