Cokie Roberts: Trump and Those Who Support Him are ‘Morally Tainted’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/16/2016 7:04:26 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Question for Cokie Roberts and Joe Scarborough: does the name Hillary Clinton ring a bell? On today’s Morning Joe, NPR’s Roberts and Scarborough proclaimed Donald Trump “morally tainted.” Roberts took it one step further, also declaring “morally tainted” those who support Trump.

Scarborough asked Roberts whether she’d ever seen “a candidate so morally tainted, so challenged that people are calling him a racist and calling him a con man, at the same time saying we support him?” Roberts said no one has ever seen anything like this, and for good measure, citing her roots growing up in the Jim Crow South, suggested Trump’s candidacy was a “stain” taking the country back in that direction.

But when it came to being morally tainted, Hillary’s name never crossed the lips of Roberts or Scarborough.

We simply can not allow these ClowardPivenAlinskyites to continue to claim they are American. They are clearly traitors and need to be dealt with as such.

Comments obviously not directed to Trump supporters, but to fence-sitters trying to decide to vote for him or not.

There are few deeper connected bubble dwellers than Cokie Roberts. Daughters of long time democrap senator and big government pusher Hale Boggs, her family also founded Patton Boggs, one of DC’s most prominent lobbying firms and largest political donator almost exclusively to the democrap party.

“a candidate so morally tainted, so challenged that people are calling him a racist

OMG... #NeverTrumps have been spewing this word for word for about a week now. They REALLY are democrats/liberals in disguise.

There is a reason FNC had the vote splitter on the air.

The RINO candidate is in with the deadweight moocher effetes who want their PAID FOR congress to take the vote away from the citizens.

The bottom line is there are only two real candidates anyone else is a useful idiot plant doing the paid for bidding.

Why is some people’s speech Hate Speech and other people’s speech is not? This babble is far more hateful and toxic than anything Trump has said.
