Sports broadcaster Bob Costas said Thursday on CNN’s “New Day” that former President Donald Trump does not care about American democracy because he is hosting an event for the Saudi-backed LIV golf tour at his Bedminster Golf Club.
Anchor Brianna Keilar said, “Former President Trump is going to tee off with two other former PGA golfers who also joined this LIV league. Trump has been criticized by families and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attack for hosting the tournament and for working with the man that U.S. intelligence says is responsible for the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In an interview, Trump claims the controversy around the Khashoggi’s killing has, quote, ‘totally died down.'”
She asked, “Bob, this is all happening so close to the World Trade Center. It is happening in the shadow of it.”
Costas said, “Some 700 plus of the victims on 9/11, 21 years ago, were from New Jersey, some of them from the Bedminster area. So the 9/11 families are very hurt about this, very upset, there will be protests outside the grounds, but if we learned anything about Donald Trump, which it shouldn’t have taken very long to learn, is that he doesn’t care about any principle, including American democracy or any person, he cares about nothing other than his own perceived self-interests. And then there’s the aspect of grievance and revenge. He was upset because the PGA pulled out following Jan. 6 the last year. Following those events, they pulled the PGA tournament from the Bedminster course. So this is an element of grievance on his part because, as we all know, he is, after all, the most persecuted man in American history, and he’s qualified to say that because he’s a scholar of history.”

I don’t give two craps about Khashoggi. No one bitching about his death even knew who the guy was before he became a bumper sticker slogan.
Shut up and Dribble Costas
How does hosting a golf tournament somehow equate to “not caring about Democracy”?
I guess Biden doesn’t care about Democracy either since he just visited Saudi Arabia and fist bumped MBS huh Bob?
Boob “Woke Fagboy” Costas weighs in...
After scrubbing 9/11 and the pictures of the Tower jumpers from our national consciousness as soon as they possibly could get away with it, the Brandon Media trundles it out of the memory hole 20 years later as a club to bash Trump with...
What…
Like democracy when people decide if they want abortion or not?
Or are we picking and choosing democracy?
For Costas and CNN, it’s a “never let an opportunity to hate Trump go to waste” moment. See Tagline.
“All of Trumps Golf courses were removed from the PGA playing season. So why is Costa surprised that he will host the LIV??? The PGA has cost him millions in lost revenue on his courses being used for these lucrative events. Everyone forgets that even when he was President of the United States, he was a business man first.”
This ^^^^^^ Costa can go to hell.
It's a golf tournament, nothing more and noting less. Where's that a threat to democracy?
This doofus was a pretty dim bulb to begin with, but all of his plastic surgeries and Botox injections have sapped what little bit of brain power he had left.
Such a shame. 🤷♀️
I apologize.
Costas, you are a dumb mother fu@ker.

MSM, the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, is the true threat to our democracy.
Or at least we were.
Ever since the vast majority of the states started depending on loans and grants from the Feds and have to do the Feds bidding, we are now a more centralized oligarchy with a thin veneer of democracy where the people represented are not us but the lobbyists.
He succeeded, but then Jim McCay was a clown, so no big achievement.
I’d like to meet Costas. That would be an interesting day. He’s one of the reasons I stopped watching NBC sports.
I don’t believe anything “American Intelligence” has to say.
Somebody check Bob for Monkey Pox(Loose Blow-hole Blight)
Bob is just leftist corporate whore. Democracy is fair and free elections.
