“The last thing the President or anyone else should do is politicize this strategy,”
Bak at ya Ma Hamhock.
“I think the first question, Mika, is, are they factual?” Cuomo replied.
Oh, snap! Well done.
There’s never a right time to talk about gun control, but never a wrong time to cast aspersions on an entire religion.
If this had been some guy with a gun, instead of an Uzbek with a truck, we’d be hearing a loud chorus of the same line – we must not “politicize” this tragedy – only it would be coming from the right, and the paid minions of the NRA, and its purpose would be to once again derail any hint of a move toward saner gun laws.
But I guess that way is ok, especially if the shooter was the, ahem, right type.
Perfect response, because it necessarily forces the discussion on when they themselves trot out this tired canard.
There is never a good time to politicize a tragedy, but trust our president* to never fail to do the wrong thing. He is a national disgrace.
dump can milk this a few days at best. not gonna work.
If you get right down to it, it is Trump’s DHS that could be accused of dropping the ball. If you want to get political.
Sorry, but Trump can’t help himself. He has to blame someone. This is one of the thing that makes him a weak President.
A weak President I can deal with. It’s the despicable human being part that pisses me off.
Exactly. The Las Vegas terrorist attack was a over a month ago and we’re still not supposed to talk about bump stocks or background checks or sensible gun registration options… but it’s nanoseconds to flog “radical islamic terrorism” in the name of immigrant bashing.
I had exactly that reaction, too.
It points out what’s gone wrong with pundits who pretend to be journalists. Mika couches the question in terms of squishy opinions, impressions, feelings, and Cuomo rearranges the question into what a real journalist would ask.
Thanks for blowing away the smoke and clarifying the issue, Governor.
As a nation we’re more at risk from the Trump administration gutting effective public health and safety measures
than a nut case claiming he was inspired by ISIS on the internet.
Fewer people with health insurance, a rise in the maternal death rate and approving pesticides which cause neurological damage in children as well as lower sperm counts does not make America great again.
He just picks a fight to change the subject from Russia.
