understanding here but the issue comes into, remember, when former president trump called nfl players sobs, including colin kaepernick and that was a very media story. he didn t call and apologize but that said something in the culture at the time. is this in the same vain? it s in the same vain in so far as all presidents should be held to high standards. no presidents should go around calling reporters, cursing reporters. by that standard, a high standard, biden was out of line like trump was out of line when he called chuck todd an s.o.b. in difference is the backdrop. the context. why is peter doocy handling this with such class and blowing it off because the backdrop is so different than the trump years when you had a president trying to destroy the american pemedia trying to undermine the american media. using crude and crass and profane language and doing it in
with his misogyny and now at some point we think that all of a sudden these trump voters are going to switch. even when i hear people who are impacted by his ridiculous policies, you take the trade policies, for instance, now all of a sudden farmers are saying i m not going to vote for him again. really, now? not because of kids in ijs can a, not when he called mexicans rapists and drug deal rs, not when he called kneeling nfl players sobs, now that it s impacted your life, this is when you want to break faith. this is not the voters the democrats need to go after. that is how they will become road kill if they don t grab their easter eggs and get into the fight. before we go because, jason, there is a sense we were talking about this in the hair and makeup room earlier, midwin and i, the democrats are the lannisters the democrats are the starks and the republicans are the lannisters. the democrats keep going thinking if i just make a better deal now i won t get my head chopped off
i disagree with you guys. i think colin kaepernick is better than most of the back up quarterbacks in the nfl. but the guy who made this is not colin kaepernick who started this. he got meager attention until donald trump got in and called nfl players sobs. we were talking about kaepernick on fox news for a year and a half. you go back and check. [overlapping talking]. [laughing]. here s the thing. i think the police had a terrific response. they said we are not calling for any boycott of nike. guess what? police officers make sacrifices every day. that s a measured and thoughtful response other than some of the blow hards at 1600pennsylvania.
