I was actually surprised by how aggressive Chuck was with this gaping butthole of a presidential mouthpiece. It was amusing watching Kennedy try to gaslight and even a little shocking to see Chuck Todd call him out on it. Hell, Todd was actually laughing in his face and I think Kennedy, by the end, realized that his untenable position and the lies on which it was based had been pretty much exposed as crap.

Unfortunately, any true Trumper, with wilfully stunted intellect in these matters, would have viewed Kenedy's garbage as a gourmet meal of facts and fun. But, then again, any true Trumper (of which there are 10s of millions still!) would vote for the Orange haired swine even if he did, in fact, shoot dead a stranger in Times Square.

But I think Todd did a service to his viewers in this interview.

deceptive responses effectively however. Mind you I'm not saying I could do better by any stretch. He tried to do the right thing and did it acceptably. For sure, I'd rather he did this than let the person he's interviewing skate away with clear and unconfronted lies as he often does.

have had Gomer Kennedy on their shows and it's always the same shrill, screaming, propaganda talking points. "It's how my mind works". He's used that same stupid analogy every time, and it has no comparison with Trump's crimes. It's nothing like a bank robbery, Gomer, so sit down, shut up, and try to follow the facts as they become available. Tough for a republican to do, I know, but give it a try just once, please?

as much as he sounds like a character from "green acres" kennedy is a very well educated partisan warrior.

This was so painful to watch. Chuck Todd should apologize for using his airtime kowtowing to this windbag.

politicians who protect tRump are really disgusting. I watched Kevin McCarthy on "60 Minutes" kissing tRump's arse. Why do they demean themselves, praising a less-than honest person like tRump? Graham is the worst, he gets hysterical. Either tRump has dirt on them, they took Russian money or some other reason. Did the gop make a pact that they would protect tRump no matter what, since he will be the LAST (R) president they will be able to control for many, many years?
