CNN contributor Bob Costas shared a brutal analysis of former President Donald Trump in a rant on the network on Saturday.
Costas was asked to share his thoughts on Trump while appearing on Smerconish. His subsequent rant was not limited to just the former president, but also his fans.
“He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. He‘s only become more disgraceful since 2016, and since 2020 he has a bubbling cauldron of loathsome traits,” Costas said of Trump. “You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion in a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been, in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be president of the United States. But his supporters are locked in on that.”
The political analysis is a unique glimpse into the Emmy-winning sportscaster, who is currently contracted with TBS as a play-by-play baseball announcer, and HBO Sports with a quarterly interview series. Despite his strong opinion of Trump, he acknowledged that President Joe Biden does not have a “cult” following. Costas seemed discouraging of Biden running a second time, as Biden had signaled he would be a one-term president during his first campaign.
“And at best, he can squeak by Trump. That‘s at best,” Costas said of Biden. “Or, he could lose to Trump and subject the nation to four more years of this kind of ongoing insanity. Or if he squeaked by, it’s very likely that he cannot complete his second term. He’ll be 86 at the end of it.”
Trump is fresh off from winning the South Carolina Republican Primary on Saturday. Biden also swept the Democratic Primary weeks ago, to a smaller voter turnout.
You Forgot Bill Clinton and Barack Obama
Costas has a history of occasionally popping up and saying elitist leftist garbage. This isn’t really new.
He can say this because he lives in the leftist bubble.
He’s giving a complete pass to Hitler, Goebbels, Stalin, Pol Pot, Benedict Arnold, Tokyo Rose, Vidkun Quisling, Yisrael Bar, Roger Hollis, Stanley Wilson, et al?
