Bob Costas, former sportscaster for NBC, appeared on CNN’s “Smerconish” early Saturday bashing President Trump and his millions of supporters.
He said that Trump supporters were a “toxic cult” and claimed that Trump himself was the “most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history.”
He also expressed disapproval of Joe Biden running for reelection only for the concern that Trump would win the election against him for being weak.
Fox News reported:
Former NBC Sports broadcaster Bob Costas unloaded on former President Trump during a recent TV appearance, calling him the “most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history.”
The journalist appeared on CNN’s “Smerconish” on Saturday morning, where he laid into Trump and his supporters, which he also called a “toxic cult.”
Additionally, he handed President Biden a stiff rebuke for running for office again, claiming that Biden is risking plunging the country into “insanity” under Trump by not stepping aside and letting someone stronger run against the 45th president.
“You come at this from a position of not wanting to see Trump get elected. You should state that at the outset. True?” Michael Smerconish asked Costas.
“Yes, absolutely. He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. He’s only become more disgraceful since 2016 and since 2020. He’s a bubbling cauldron of loathsome traits. You have to be in the throws of some sort of toxic delusion in a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been in any sense emotionally, psychologically, intellectually or ethically fit to be President of the United States,” Costas replied.

Costas had made comments about Biden and how he could be perceived if he stepped aside from running for a second term.
“He had a chance to be seen as a statesman and a patriot. Now his legacy is likely to be that of a man whose hubris prevented him from seizing the moment in an appropriate way, and at best, he can squeak by Trump – that’s at best,” Fox News reported.
Costas made reference to Biden being weak and implied another candidate should run against Trump.
He continued hurling insults at President Trump by calling him a “monster.”
“Trump is a monster. You shouldn‘t send this guy out there at this point in his life to try and slay the dragon,” Fox News reported.
This isn’t surprising behavior on the part of the left considering President Trump is leading in a recent Harris X poll 9 points over Biden.
So looking out for America first is why this jerk hates Trump?
Who? Don’t care. I don’t believe I ever watched any of the sports he commentated on when he was still working for See BS.
Bob should have stuck to baseball commentary. He was relevant in that area a few decades ago.
Now, the poor man has a raging case of TDS. I hope they have the straitjacket handy, they may need it.
Liberals want people to be equal.
Equally miserable.......................
In the end, they will get violent, too, when they find out that their “reality" isn’t real.
What is it with these sportscasters? Keith and Bob, my goodness they got a lot of pent up something or other.
“You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion and in a toxic cult ...” doesn’t have the same pizzazz as “basket of deplorables,” but I’ll take it!
Epstein?
Hmmm...I want my politics done by sportscasters! I want politicians to talk about sports...🤓
Costas is just another has been that no one is willing to pay money anymore.
Instead of retiring gracefully like David Letterman or Jay Leno he has nothing better to do than hope to get paid for spouting garbage on CNN.
The most irrelevant network left on MSM.
There are dozens of podcasts that get higher views than CNN and MSNBC.
The problem is that people like him don’t know that their time has passed.
Nobody cares what they say anymore.
Which is why their ratings are so poor.
Look what CNS/Paramount just did.
Cutting 800 people. This is because their ratings are so low in the News division they had to cut overhead.
So, they even got rid of real journalists like Catherine Herridge because of her contracted salary.
Look at all the former MSM people on the steaming channel News Nation.
Almost all of them were on network stations.
Same with Newsmax.
Streaming podcasts are the future.
Desperate to be relevant to anything. Who cares.
He tried to shove his politics down audiences throats on Sunday Night Football and the backlash got him canned...............The network will never admit it, but that’s what it was...................
He’s trying to get a permanent gig going as a pundit, but so far no bites.......................
Starved, literally every media outlet on earth is going to run with this quote as if it’s solid news content. Just watch.
He’s a sportscaster. Pfffht.
He WAS a sportscaster............😁
Likes being invited to the cool people’s parties
He reminds me of the ‘Grouch’ on Sesame Street..................
