Wow! Just incredibly stupid and insensitive. Just say something along the lines of “we honor their service”, and let it go already.

Trump’s ceiling is set in lead at this point.

“… Are you trying to change the subject, or are you trying to link him to terrorism…?”

“Yes…”

How exactly did the CNN Host “shut down” trumpcamp? Shutting down is for me ending the interview, asking the puppet to leave the set, something forceful. All he did was remind the puppet of the truth of the matter. Oh, that qualifies as forceful these days. I get it.

Shorter CNN: Sometimes we hire some people who sometimes behave like a journalist.

Baby steps–

  1. Let me remind you that Mr. Trump actually said, quote…
  2. No, that is not true. Mr. Trump actually said, quote…
  3. No, stop lying. The truth is Mr. Trump said, quote…

It comes out again and again the overwhelming contempt Trump has for his supporters and for the American people in general. Of the two groups, the former has his greatest contempt and scorn.

It was an improvement on previous interviews with trump lackeys. This guy did at least keep going back to the point and pressing that idiot on the actual issue rather than him keep rambling.

I think when this is all over and Hillary wins by 20 points, Trump’s middle name will have been changed to Donald “unforced error” Trump.

Mrs. Khan’s calm and graceful silence at the side of her husband was deafening.

Poor Donald.

He lost a debate with a woman who didn’t even speak.

But immediately after, CNN put Wolf “king-of-false-equivalence” Blitzer on for 7 hours to make sure nobody forgets that Democrats are bad too.

What’s with all these neckless Republican flunkies? Do they only hire them if they have no necks?

I hope Jason Miller, hapless sycophant trying to defend the indefensible, was wearing industrial-strength diapers as he shit bricks.

I just wonder how these so-called “advisors” of Trump’s haven’t yet died of shame. This Jason Miller guy just comes across as a complete soulless tool. I wonder if deep down he knows how full of shit he is (he does). There’s got to be a whole circle of hell devoted entirely to people who get paid to defend Trump. Kudos to CNN for accidentally acting like a news organization for a couple of minutes.

I guess this characterization is a little better at least than the usual “such-and-such DESTROYED so-and-so” that you usually see.

Trump and his shills have obviously been tutored by Rudy Giuliani. Everything they say is a noun, a verb, and “radical Islamic terrorism.”

More of this please. Brian Stelter would not let Jason Miller stick to his pre-packaged talking points. And he did it all without getting into a shouting match. In case any of the people who call themselves journalists are interested (Chuck Todd, George Stephanopoulos, anyone on MSNBC) this is how you conduct an interview.

I saw this on Sunday and if Jason Miller wasn’t blaming Hillary, he was blaming RADICAL Islamic blah blah blah. It was absolutely amazing. Kudos to Brian Stelter who was at least TRYING to get to the bottom line and get an answer on that before moving on…until some of the other squirrely pundits (I’m looking at YOU Chuck Todd) who just moved on after the lie dripped from the guests lips.

“Senior communications adviser.” Not even George Orwell would go that far.
