“She is very liberal and she can’t stand this president and she is using this platform, I’m sorry to say this, to in some ways mar or spoil or tar what could have been a great unifying day for America.”

I think Trump has done a superior job at “mar or spoil or tar” as to the Office of the President than anyone else on the planet could ever aspire to.

It is Individual Number One who has brought shame to the nation and the White House.

Someone is gunning for a White House gig.

"…she is using this platform, I’m sorry to say this, to in some ways mar or spoil or tar what could have been a great unifying day for America.”

Cuz there have been so many great unifying days for America since this event:

Wah wah wah.

Every ahole man who takes on smart, tough women like Rapinoe and AOC just ends up increasing their power.

Anyone or anything that is a threat to Trump must be destroyed, and there are plenty of enablers willing and ready to help destroy them.

Especially anyone or anything that tells or reveals the truth.

Strong women. British Ambassadors. Victims. Witnesses. Co-conspirators. Covfefe.

What a jerk.

But we knew that already.

You don’t get to tell anyone what they can have opinions on, idiot.

Har har. He was always a jerk, starting in the old days at WaPo pretending to be a journalist.

When I want the opinion of a Fox news talking head I will inform him with my boot in his ass.

It has been pretty well established that Howie Kurtz is a male media attention whore - a mercenary muckraker willing to say - and possibly do - anything to get his name mentioned.

jonney_5 · July 10, 2019, 6:47pm

Careful his head is in there too.

realskeptic · July 10, 2019, 6:47pm

Kind of how you mar or spoil or tarred Gary Webb?
You worthless piece of shit.

occamscoin · July 10, 2019, 6:49pm

I’ll wear the steel toed boots.

thunderclapnewman · July 10, 2019, 6:49pm

Howie the Putz never fails to underwhelm.

uneducated · July 10, 2019, 6:50pm

Megan and the ladies drew more then the Trump inauguration.

trnc · July 10, 2019, 6:56pm

I don’t get it. Douchecanoe from fox takes standard douchecanoe position. Why is this news?

rascal_crone · July 10, 2019, 6:57pm

Let’s go back in time FOX producers and anchors, and see how many times you could have taken the opportunity to make unifying days in America during the Obama presidency.

Dear Mr. Kurtz,

How shall I say this? You lost. Get over it.
