Al Gore: Trump supporters are using him ‘as a vehicle’ to express their anger
The Hill ^ | 02/03/2024 | FILIP TIMOTIJA

Former Vice President Al Gore said Democrats should respect former President Trump’s supporters, suggesting they’re just using him “as a vehicle” to express their anger.

Gore, who served as President Clinton’s No. 2 until 2001, told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour Saturday that his followers are merely utilizing the former president’s White House bid to project dissatisfaction with the way the country is heading, particularly the economy.

“I respect his supporters,” Gore said on CNN’s “The Amanpour Hour.” “And I think it’s really important in this campaign season for people to maintain respect for his supporters. Many of them, are using Trump as a vehicle to express their anger at how they, don’t think things have been going in the right direction.”

The Clinton years were relative Shang-ri-la. Biggest problems were blow jobs in the Oval Office and nationalized health care. But in all seriousness, this is what happens with Democrats. They continue to get crazier and crazier so you don’t realize how bad they’ve always been.

“Al Gore: Trump supporters are using him ‘as a vehicle’ to express their anger”

Isn’t that the whole point of having representation?

It’s kind of shocking. He probably sounded stupid when he said it. Either that, or he had just said something really stupid or was about to.

“don’t think things have been going in the right direction”

I nominate that for Understatement of the Year.

“I respect his (Trump’s) supporters,” Al Gore said on CNN’s “The Amanpour Hour.” “And I think it’s really important in this campaign season for people to maintain respect for his supporters.”

“Many are using Trump as a vehicle to express their anger that things have not been going right (under Biden).”


Sounds like Al wants to get on Trump’s VP list.

I wouldn’t want to be referred to as a #2 but in this case it’s appropriate for Gore.

I wager "The Hill" folks are beginning to wonder about their own jobs, as one watches all sorts of Lefty media shedding staff all around the West, and especially in the US.

Wonder if there is the sound of worry echoing the halls of The Hill? Should be.

A reminder...If Al Gore had won his own state, he would have won the election.
