MSNBC Anchor Pulls Plug On Trump Camp Spox | Talking Points Memo

MSNBC anchor Ayman Mohyeldin and Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes butted heads on Thursday over the campaign’s baseless claims that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s team backed out of an agreement for each candidate to be inspected for an earpiece prior to Tuesday night’s disastrous debate.

“I don’t know where the agreement is.”

They mouth accusations but it’s as if they’re not really trying any more.

What was clear from the debate was that there are a great many voices clammering inside Mr Trump’s head. Whether any of them were coming from an earpiece (or malar implant) remains to be substantiated.

Always with these fuckers and their fuckery –they insist that others prove a negative. Why do networks waste their time with these people?

“Mohyeldin effectively ended the interview by cutting off his feed.”

Well he’s no Chris Wallace, but that was still pretty good.

Traditional.

This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas. The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumor campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his own barnyard sows.

"Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-fucker,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”

“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofabitch deny it.”

Would that more media do that. Too many allow these despicable Trump acolytes to gaslight.

I just read he’s got a neurosurgeon brother who was a former pro soccer star. An Arab-American family with good genes? Is that even possible???
