Where do they keep getting these fat smug fucks? Is there school somewhere that they groom them for this?
“Have you ever heard a politician other than Donald Trump say I’m so proud, or give a kudos to another politician who bodyslammed a reporter. Have you heard that from anybody else other than Donald Trump?”
Though two names come to mind (Duke and Brooks), good luck to the fact checker.
Um, so what was Katy Tur or her producers thinking when they contacted this doofus to have on the air? Just report the damn news and stop with the idiotic back-and-forth.
Erickson responded that “both sides” are to blame.
So true.
Remember when President Obama called Mexicans “rapists”?
And Sec. Clinton urged her rallygoers to punch protesters?
Or Leader Pelosi praised a Democratic representative for choke-slamming a reporter?
Yeah, me neither.
Whaaaattt? The GOP dude is the literal bothsider and the journalist lady says no, one side is responsible? Right on the teevee? Is she even allowed to do that? Because I’ve been told very categorically that this never happens, or okay it sometimes happens but hardly ever and anyway everyone knows these journamalism types are feckless stenographers. And she pushed back, and they never do that, but right there she said shut up it’s my show and she stopped the other guest and said no, Erick’s going to answer this question. So this seems to be one more example of things not being quite the way some folks like to say. And now everyone’s saying “Well, they shouldn’t have had him on.” FINE. Whatever.
Reason, logical thought and facts are wasted on these turds.
Before the 2016 election, Eric Erickson was a dedicated Never-Trumper. How quickly they cave…
Yup. Erick son of Erick Erickson is a hacks-hack going back to the Bush administration. They booked a lying weasel and they know it.
He shouldn’t be allowed on CNN anymore. Its not both sides–he sounds like he agrees with trump that both sides in charlottesville were to blame and that both sides are/have good people.
Why talk to people like that?
Look what he said in 2009 – Erickson described retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter on his Twitter account as "the only goat fucking child molester to ever serve on the Supreme Court”.
I think they assumed there’d still be a place in the conservative speaking circuit for Never Trumpers. Oh well!
Erick Son of A Bitch has let tribalism infect his already-feebled mind. He was a decent(ish) never-Trumper for a while, but I guess he couldn’t stand the heat. If you follow his tweets, he’s really gone south in recent months.
While she was at it, she should have asked Erickson if he had ever been to political rallies where the candidate led the chanting of locking up their opponent?
College Republican clubs.
Katy Tur had to have security when covering the Trump campaign due to his singling her out at events. She knows a thing or two about the danger Trump poses.
Its odd since MSNBC tends to have on less hacky conservatives ( Bill Kristol for example - I cant believe i am saying this). Someone like Erickson is more of a CNN/Wrestlemania type event.
"It’s offensive,” Tur responded.
She’s the host of the show, telling us about people having to take responsibility for their own actions.
Someone ask her who invited Erickson on to her program. What did she expect from him? I’d like to know.
Oh I’m all for Katy going after Erickson, Katy was the one covering Trump’s campaign rallies since he announced (yes I know you know, it’s a for others to keep up with the plot) and was threatened a couple of times by Trump’s trumpettes.
So who is schooling Erickson and Graham? And would these two let Cruz sit with them at lunch?
I remember that. He’d whipped the crowd into a damn frenzy and the Secret Service guys were concerned enough to escort her when she left. She has no illusions about this stuff.
