Clinton Supporter on Her Absence From Baton Rouge: ‘I’m Not Sure Where She Is’
Washingon Free Beacon ^ | 08/19/16 | Chandler Gill

Posted on 08/20/2016 1:09:02 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Rep. Steve Cohen (D., Tenn.), a Hillary Clinton supporter, said he was not sure where Clinton was while Donald Trump donated a truck full of food and supplies to the victims of the historic flooding that has devastated Louisiana this week.

Cohen deferred questions about Clinton by attacking Trump for having three campaign managers and said his past contributions to St. Jude Children’s Hospital did not actually contain items of use.

“You have the optics of Mr. Trump in Louisiana today,” CNN’s Brooke Baldwin said to Cohen. “We just saw an 18-wheeler full of items that he’s donated. Can you give the man some credit?”

Cohen could not.

“He politically did the right thing,” he said. “There is a lot of items in there that are actually items, unlike some of the contributions he allegedly made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.”

Baldwin interjected to say that a CNN correspondent on the ground in Louisiana confirmed there were items in the truck.

Cohen then brought up Trump’s past contributions to St. Jude’s.

The 18 wheeler full of supplies was not mentioned in the NY Times article this morning about the Trump Louisiana visit.

CNN must be losing viewers bad to take up for Trump like that. Bottom line Trump was there and helped out.

Neither did WaPo piece. So the comment section is full of libtards’ rant of Trump photo-op (i.e., signing supporters’ hats and shirts) and ‘making political speech’.

You see clearly so many people blindly follow their media masters.

Rooters hit him for going against the governor’s wishes.

Huff Pos made an insult about the supplies he brought.

etc.

The fact is they’re reporting it and independents will see a man that cares.

His speech to blacks the other day was great.

Hillary can’t even GO anywhere, she is too ill.

A governor tells a president not to come till next week.

Yeah, and I own the ####ing brooklyn bridge. :)

The B**ches Supporter:

" I don't know where Hillary is
BUT TRUMP was just here for the photo op."

Here's a clue: Obama and The B**ch couldn't even bother with a photo op at campaign time.

Let's be honest here.

This event is perfect.
A god send.

Days later, the _resident can't make it down, because he's too busy being on vacation and playing golf.

The nominee for the "party of the little people" hasn't been seen or heard from. AT ALL!!!

But the nominee of "the evil rich people"
"A crooked, lying billionaire"
Shows up "just" for a photo op.

I would think that that would make SOME PEOPLE think a little bit.

How much has Steven Cohen, democrat, Tennessee, donated to Louisiana, or to St Jude’s children’s hospital?

He would snipe at Trump over his donation to St Jude’s?......

What a pos

Eric Trump took on St Jude’s as a special cause for the oast 10’years.
Here is an article from 2011 - note this was long before any political run by his father!,,
https://www.stjude.org/about-st-jude/stories/promise-magazine/summer-2011/model-of-efficiency.html
Here is one of this year’s fundraisers.
https://www.erictrumpfoundation.com

Eric Trump with full backing if his father has been doing benefits for St Jude’s with the Trump family providing gratis services and facilities for over ten years!!!!!
And Steve Cohen democrat Tennessee claims the Trumps donated “ onky” tens of thousands?
Chelsea Clinton? Well she works for the Clinton foundation

And which causes has the Hilldebeest donated to other than her own campaign (and even that was probably only through the Foundation)?
I would suggest a really nice check to the Benghazi Widow's Fund.

Cohen is an idiot. It’s the Eric Trump Foundation that works with St. Jude’s. IIRC, the foundation gave St. Jude’s $1 million last year and has pledged $20 million.

CNN and MSNBC are in danger of going under. Look for a minor reach back to capitalism or even a shade or two of fair and balanced.In the end it won’t be enough and both will collapse.they will ultimately wind up where they should be,out of business.
