Martin Sheen Rips Hustling Bum T---- With A Critique That Could Be Right Out Of 'The West Wing'

Actor Martin Sheen described [twice impeached] ex-President D----- T---- as a selfish “hustler” and a “bum” the country needs to shake off.

“This has been a colossal error in our character, this T---- administration and the fact that he will not man up and step forward and say that he has lied about it and that he has used it, and he’s hurt the country and all of his followers,” said Sheen.

he hates who they hate and he gives a voice to their hate: Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, Jews, Muslims, immigrants, LGBTQ..and if you really listen to those so-called "good people" who don't agree with Trump on social issues but love the tax cuts, their "hate" is maintaining and building their wealth on the backs of the middle class and working poor who hold two jobs, sacrifice for their families, and yes, pay their taxes...

He's the one who poisoned the political atmosphere which has only gotten worse.

Lol - I heard him on the radio last night doing a commercial about identity fraud. Double lol. How the mighty have fallen.

Newt cheated on wife dying of cancer, for his plastic haired arm candy. Cheated on 2 wives, was ousted as Speaker for ethics violations. Any wonder he is a GQP rockstar and worshipped. Trump, Gooliani, Newt.....we can list dozens of family value GQP hero’s with at minimum 3 wives. One of Giuliano’s was his cousin. Jr will catch up with daddy.
All are Christian role models.
