The buzzword is "democracy"

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.”

Costas you are a POS...
Really an insanely twisted angle to come after Trump from.
The buzzword is "democracy"
How was McKay a clown? McKay covered the Israeli athletes getting massacred in 1972. He was not the host of the Games until 1976.
Costas tried to tell jokes during the Olympics. The only one I remember was that he likened the “walk race” to a contest to see who could whisper the loudest. There was another one which was so unfunny that an international audience believed he was reporting news rather than telling a joke.
It was hilarious when the woman they picked to win a triathlon ended up pooping her pants and falling out of first while the woman who won had gotten no "human interest" from McCay.
But it’s OK for Biden and the Democrats to kiss Saudi ass for more oil.
The sport of golf transcends any political Kool-Aid. They oppose it because of Trump.
I remember Costas during the Vancouver Games referring to the big blowup beaver during the Opening Ceremonies...”...and then there’s the ALWAYS enjoyable Giant Inflatable Beaver.”
Here we go with “democracy” again
While watching the tournament on LIVgolf.com, I heard a loud chorus of “Let’s go Brandon”. Trump has been a gracious host at his golf course in Bedminster. It is almost over today.
