For Once, I'm Grateful for Trump (NYT Opinion Columnist!!)
The New York Times ^ | 10/04/2018 | Brett Stephens

Posted on 10/04/2018 9:18:29 AM PDT by Simon Foxx

For the first time since Donald Trump entered the political fray, I find myself grateful that he’s in it. I’m reluctant to admit it and astonished to say it, especially since the president mocked Christine Blasey Ford in his ugly and gratuitous way at a rally on Tuesday. Perhaps it’s worth unpacking this admission for those who might be equally astonished to read it.

Give the sick infantile way the Democrats and their fake Journalists in the smear machine have acted towards Judge K, they have NO business accusing anyone of “ugly and gratuitous” behavior

Our Betters are sure slow on the uptake. He should have figured this out at least 2 1/2 years ago.

Know your Capo Communist Columnist:

From his wiki:

Stephens was born in New York City, the son of Xenia and Charles J. Stephens, a former vice president of General Products, a chemical company in Mexico. His parents were both secular Jews. His paternal grandfather had changed the family surname from Ehrlich to Stephens (after poet James Stephens). He was raised in Mexico City, where his father was born and worked. In his adolescence, he attended boarding school at Middlesex School in Massachusetts.

He didn’t mock her. He spoke truth to power. She had the power that the Democrats gave her, and she did not like the truth..

What’s the short version so I don’t have to give the NYT a click?

LOL, the left’s sick facade is showing signs of cracking.

I hope it manifests as an anti-left earthquake in the midterms.

“...mocked Christine Blasey Ford in his ugly and gratuitous way...”

He did not impersonate her voice; he simply told the crowd what she said.

If that’s mocking her then she set it up well.

The Dems treatment of Kavanaugh has finally slapped some sense into the NeverTrumpers.

What’s with this name “Brett”? The the late 20th century-early 21st century version of Muffy, Buffy, Chad and Thurston? Kavanaugh is an Irish Catholic and should have a Catholic name (a saint’s name like Michael) and the Jewish guy should have an Old Testament name.

Bret Stephens finally sees the light. Ever since he moved from the Wall Street Journal to the New York times, he’s been predictably left-wing and sometimes loony. For once, a ray of sunshine and clarity pierces his fevered brain. I’m amazed the New York Times even published it.

Methinks a few rats know the Demoncrats ship is headed for the rocks and they have enough sense to jump ship BEFORE it happens.

Correct. He didn’t mock her. He made fun of her flimsy story.
He didn’t mock that “disabled” reporter, either - just another BS story that the media can’t seem to let go.
