Dean Obeidallah: Pardoning Trump Like Pardoning Osama bin Laden
Breitbart ^ | 28 Jul 2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 07/30/2023 11:24:33 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Left-wing radio host Dean Obeidallah said Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that any president in the future pardoning former President Donald Trump, if he is convicted on January 6-related charges, would be like pardoning Osama bin Laden for Sept. 11, 2001.

During an interview with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Megyn Kelly asked, “Would you commit to pardoning him on any federal charges against him?”

DeSantis answered, “I’m going to do what’s right for the country. I don’t think it would be good for the country to have an almost 80-year-old former president go to prison.”

He added, “At the end of the day, do we want to move forward as a country, or do we want to be mired in these past controversies?”

Obeidallah said, “The idea of pardoning, like we’re gonna move on? Imagine that sentiment after 9/11. Let’s just let bin Laden go. Let’s just move on as a nation. We had a terrorist attack on our Capitol. January 6 was an act of domestic terrorism. That is what FBI Director Christopher Wray terristified the attack was. ”

He added, “Everyone involved has to be held accountable. We don’t move on, we hold people accountable. So it doesn’t happen again. That’s very important. Democrat, Republican, doesn’t matter, your president, you attempt a coup, you must go to prison. I think you should spend your last days in prison and not to be cruel but as a message to anyone even a Democratic demagogue in the future, you can’t do this in getting away with this, as we believe in this democratic republic.”

Typical view of a deep stater on someone else's attempt to prune the deep state.

They could have settled for a somewhat reduced role.

I agree. Every one of the pedocrats should be locked up ASAP and the key thrown away, forever!

"MSNBC is a television channel in the United States launched on July 15, 1996. MSNBC is currently the fifth most popular channel on TV, watched by a total number of 1,200,000 people (up +2% from last week) during primetime, as of the average weekly audience measurement for the period ending July 23, 2023."

Source: https://ustvdb.com/networks/msnbc/

Number of households: 1.312 million.

Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/183635/number-of-households-in-the-us/

So placing the viewrship in the larger frame of housholds, MSNBC gets a little less than one percent of the nation's households.

One gives them too much credence. Additionally....

"The share of households without a telco, cable, or satellite TV provider amounted to 53 percent in 2022, up from 47 percent the year before. The forecast suggests a further increase in 2025 to 75 percent."

When a creature -- or political entity -- puffs itself up to appear bigger and more powerful than it really is, it is for show usually.

MSNBC is not as big as it would have us believe.

Correction to the mis-typed number of households. 131.2 million. Mea culpa.

CWII satisfies globalist de-population goals. A win-win.
