Jen Psaki and Liberal Scholar Debate on What to Do With the 'Bad People' Who Support Trump
Townhall ^ | 14 Oct, 2022 | Sarah Arnold

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is concerned that there are still too many Trump supporters in the U.S. and exasperated that liberals will have to learn how to live them.

During a segment on Jen Psaki's new MSNBC show, Shadi Hamid, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told the host that 74 million people must learn how to live with all of the "bad people" who support the former president.

"I think we have to accept that people who we completely disagree with are sometimes going to win, so there's, what, 74 million Trump supporters, voters? We can't just wish them away," Hamid said.

Calling Trump supporters a threat and a challenge, Hamid suggested that if Trump were to be elected again, America's democracy would be at stake.

"They're not going to disappear. So then we have to find a way to live with them even if we think they're bad people, even if we think they're a threat to everything we hold dear, because what is the other option that's in front of us? That's the challenge because a lot of people will say, 'Well, they're deplorable and we can't find a way to live with them,'" Hamid told Psaki.

He continued to tell the roundtable that it is time to accept Republicans who support Trump, using the example of other countries that elect leaders who lean to the right.

"It's a universal thing, and we can talk about Europe has its cases where in Italy we might have the first far-right prime minister since Mussolini and that person will have come to power through elections, or the Sweden Democrats, the party with neo-Nazi origins," Hamid said, adding, "So, it's not just America, it's happening all over the place because we're not debating economic issues anymore, we're debating cultural issues, identity issues, issues around religion."

Friggin’ Nazis calling Americans “bad people”. PissSaki can kiss my red, white and blue ass. We know what we would like to do with the real “bad people” like Saki.

What an a-hole thing to say. I’ve seen a few leftists slip that Mussolini reference in there when referring to Meloni’s victory. Jerks.

Mexico wants all north America to unite like the European union did exposing the democrats real plan for globalization so far it’s leaning that way.

Video on Fox

And the left wonders why there’s so much support for Trump another reason they hate him so much.

MAGA

She’s in familiar company. Decades ago, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, members of the Weather Underground and the Black Panther Party got together in a meeting to discuss what they would do when they ‘took over.’ They decided that many Americans could be “reeducated” in camps, but there was a core group for whom they could do nothing. They estimated somewhere around 25 million.

Their “Final Solution?” Kill the 25 million. That’s who Jen Ginger Psaki rolls with. This is her legacy.

Yeah. Walking right up to the line and not overtly stepping over it, but leaning over and seeing what the ground on the other side of it looks like from straight up.

You are being more kind toward them than they are to you.

Not only do they not leave the country, they flood into red states. If Trump supporters are such bad people, why don’t they avoid us and stay in their blue states? Instead they follow us wherever we go, all the while claiming that we’re so bad, deplorable, and inferior to them. Screw them.

I know what we're going to do with the bad people that voted for Xiden when the revolution starts in earnest.

Stock up on high velocity lead and rope folks.

Gonna be plenty of target rich environments and lots of opportunities to decorate trees with their dead bodies.

Maybe even just in time for Christmas! I cannot think of a better gift.

That's right, Skippy. Don't go down that road, because you will lose a lot more than an occasional election.

But you know they wish it.

They dream of us rounded up by armed Antifa warriors, dying in the camps and allowing themselves unfettered access to other people's wealth and Livelihoods.

I can just imagine children saying something similar about their parents.
