Trump supporter Steve Cortes on StormyGate: "I don't care about Stormy Daniels. I really don't care"

CNN’s Joan Walsh and Erin Burnett own Trump supporter for claiming the Stormy Daniels scandal doesn’t matter



“I don’t care about Stormy Daniels,” Cortes said.

“That’s the person who received $130,000 from the president’s personal attorney days before the election,” Burnett explained.

“I don’t care what a porn star who has been shown already incredibly on the public record to be a liar several times. I really don’t care what she says,” Cortes shot back.

“First of all, I’m not talking about what she says, and I’m not going to say which of them is more credible,” Burnett said. “I’m simply going to say she got $130,000 from Michael Cohen. Who cares about what she says? The point is, if that was a payoff, from a presidential election, it can be a violation of federal election crime. You either think that’s a story or you don’t.”

two things:

...a man with skeletons in his closet is blackmailable by anyone who knows about the skeletons

...we know who Trump is. Cortes may not care about a specific porn star, but we know him through his long life of self interest and demonstrable limitations....so how can they think that an ignorant, immoral, lying, incurious, thoughtless, greedy, narcissistic, scared, immature, impulsive, Fox and Friends fanboy can make important, well-considered, complex decisions that affect the entire world's well being and existence? How and why do they think he's qualified for anything other than a life of crime?

... especially Cortes commenting on Daniels being a "liar" on the public record.

Has Daniels been cited for lying to the American people over 2,000 times in a single year? I don't think so.

How clueless do you have to be to defend President Shithole on the grounds that it's someone else who's doing the lying?

When he said, "I'll take the pResident's word for it", I couldn't stop laughing.
