Ex-Obama spox: Trump staff believes he's 'too stupid to figure out that Infowars is garbage'

Source: The Hill

A former spokesman for President Obama slammed President Trump for being "too stupid to figure out Infowars is garbage" while touting his former boss as "an adult who can independently vet information."

Tommy Vietor, a former spokesman for the National Security Council and for former President Obama, was asked by Buzzfeed if he and other aides "jockeyed to get links from liberal sites in front of [Obama]" while in office.

"President Obama is an adult who can independently vet information so we treated him accordingly," said Vietor. "President Trump's staff apparently believes that he's too stupid to figure out that Infowars is garbage."

I can't take much more of this. We'd emigrate to Australia, but our doggie wouldn't tolerate the mandatory quarantine.

Check out the preachers telling them Trump is anointed by God to lead US back to a Biblical life. Jim Bakker's guests are 'good' examples of this.

Quite recently Paula White, T's Evangelical mentor, gave a long rant on his show about how T is under constant attack from the 'principalitities and powers of darkness' that are leading the resistance to him and to 'God's' plan to put in place judges who will overturn 'laws against God.' The blog rightwingwatch posted a link to this.

Roland Martin, a black minister and broadcaster, has a clip on youtube with part of White's rant followed by his statement of how her view of Christianity is non-Biblical. He suggests she talk with Rev Barber to learn about the true Christian attitude toward Trump.

The white Evangelicals who elected Trump live in a very different world than do people at DU. William Lindsey at his blog bilgrimage.com has several recent posts with links discussing the Evangelical world view that is proving so deadly to the US.
