Mike Barnicle Frets Over Damage to 'Revered' Presidency and Senate
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/26/2018 7:34:21 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Question for Mike Barnicle: do the names "Bill Clinton" and "Ted Kennedy" ring a bell?

We ask because they make a mockery of his professed concern about "damage" to the "revered" institutions of the presidency and the Senate. On today's Morning Joe, Barnicle said:

"[T]he institution of the presidency, and the United States Senate, that everyone so revered not that long ago, is now so badly damaged that one question that might be asked is how long will it take to repair the damage that is being done on a daily basis to both institutions?"

Barnicle waxing nostalgic for the good old days of Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy, when “everyone revered” the presidency and the Senate.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Sorta like how Barnicle damaged journalism by inventing characters and events out of wholecloth and being a serial plagiarist.

“professed concern about “damage” to the ‘revered’ institutions of the presidency and the Senate”

The damage taken by the Presidency and Senate likely pales in comparison to the damage that Barnicle and other Democrat hacks posing as journalists have done to journalism itself.

The US Senate is beyond repair. It’s now to the point that even primaries are rigged. We can’t even get rid of them when we vote them out in primaries and they only lose elections when someone even more likely to have sold out comes along.

When it comes to Barnicle, always a pertinent question to pose!

Well if Barnacle is concerned about America’s revered institutions—including the Presidency, the Congress, the Judiciary, and such once pristine institutions as the FBI, CIA, and Department of Justice—he had better start insisting on TRUTH and jumping on the Trump Bandwagon—AND FAST!

Boo-hoo. Anyone who “reveres” politicians is a fool. They must be watched. As Scripture wisely warns, “Put not your faith in princes.”(Psalm 146:3)

The DSA does not care, they want to tear down all institutions in America. My question is once the followers of the DSA have destroyed institutions and have become cynical of all institutions, how does the DSA get others to follow their institution?
