Al Hunt Calls Trump 'Caitlyn Jenner of American Politics'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/07/2015 5:30:58 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Prediction: Al Hunt will pay no price for calling Donald Trump the "Caityln Jenner of American politics." But can you imagine the outraged reaction on the left if a conservative commentator had said something similar about Hillary for her changing positions on everything from the Iraq war to gay marriage?

Reacting to Hunt's crack on Morning Joe today, Joe Scarborough told Hunt "I think I can get you a job at Fox," an allusion to the tough questioning to which the Fox News panel subjected Trump last night.

Al Hunt hates transsexuals. I think that’s racist or something.

Didn’t he write for the WSJ editorial page eons ago? He (along with Cockburn), was completely out of step with reality.

Long ago Hunt was a decent print report for the WSJ.
Like a 5 year old container of milk he is well past his expiration date.

Does that make Al a transgendophobic? Sexist? Reverse homophobic? Transsexualphobic? Genderphobic?
