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.

“Reporters should come to this website and see that Trump voters harbor no racial obsessions or animus.”

“Racist” is just their n-word for people to the right of them on any issue. The word has been drained of any real meaning, other than “enemy”.

As a matter of fact, during the Lewinsky scandal, Cokie referenced the Internet chat rooms, for her MORAL GUIDANCE:

Sam Donaldson, the show’s co-host, interjected that if Newsweek felt it did not have what was necessary to publish the story, he would not criticize the editors for holding off. The other co-host, Cokie Roberts, then turned the conversation to another topic.

Internet chat rooms were also filled with comments like “Even if they did sleep together, they were willing participants, and she needs to get a life.”

I am happy to be “morally tainted “ then. Cokie should read the the section in the Holy Bible that stats: All liars shall have their part in the lake of fire. I believe that it is found in the later part of the Book of Revelations.

As if Hillary is not morally repulsive, a con woman, and a racist. Yet, she has many supporters acting as if they are above Trump and his supporters. These media hacks are complete hypocrites and liars.

It seems that XM has stopped broadcasting this in the morning. I’m getting reruns of Chris Matthews shows now. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Cokie Roberts is a privileged person born into money and influence who represents exactly why America has gone downhill. If anyone is morally reprehensible, it is the crowd she supports and identifies with. How anyone can defend the morality of the Clintons is dumfounding. Just the fact that Bill went on all those private flights to the private ‘sex island’ with Epstein - who was then convicted of having sex with underage women and accused of having underaged sex slaves, is enough to take away any moral high ground from the left in this election.

People like Cokie Roberts are the elite (by birth, not intelligence) who ruin the lives of those Americans not so lucky. She is morally reprehensible, and disgusting to contemplate.

Morally tainted??? What??? How on earth can Democrats talk about morality? The only thing immoral to them is doing what is right.

Her Daddy Hale Boggs signed the Southern Manifesto condemning desegregation in the 1950s and opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Does that make Daddy morally tainted? Has she condemned her Father's past? If not is she morally tainted?

Sorry Cokie, it is the other side, including you and Hillary, that is morally tainted. You have just described the liberals and most Democrats. Have a tainted day.

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Step right up folks and have the woman who knows all read your mind.

Cokie The All Knowing knows more about you than your mother does!

She has been gifted by the great god television with the power to know everything about you!

Yes, in the olden days we used to call people like her “dipshirts”, but nowadays they are referred to as “Democrat Hacks”.

She refuses to do any self-examination, but, by golly, she sure knows everything about everyone else.

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Also included in the show is James Carville, the dog faced boy.

I’d compare her to a fence post, but that would denigrate fence posts.
