Conservative pundit: Trump only uses 'cringe-worthy' surrogates because no one else will lie for him

A clearly dismayed conservative commentator lambasted the Trump administration Sunday morning, saying President Donald Trump is in need of “adult supervision” because he clearly can’t get over the fact that he lost the popular vote.

Appearing on MSNBC with host Alex Witt, radio host Charlie Sykes unloaded on the Trump administration for offering up top adviser Stephen Miller to four of the Sunday talk shows, calling his combative performance “cringe-worthy.”

“I want to know who will play him on SNL next week,” Sykes said after watching Miller yell at multiple Sunday morning hosts. “What an extraordinary choice by the Trump administration to push Stephen Miller out when they actually do have some credible spokesmen. This was a cringe-worthy performance.”

“Stephen Miller has only one audience,” Sykes continued. “He’s playing to Donald Trump. This is somebody proving that he is the loyalist possible spokesman. But what you have there [in Miller] is you have the intersection of inexperience, incompetence and zealotry, and the fact that he is doubling down on something that is clearly just not true.”

As for the fact that the Trump administration seems to be reeling and is getting bogged down in petty squabbles, Sykes blamed Trump himself. “They are undermining their own agenda, they have self-inflicted wounds,” Sykes complained. “They distract from it and the only explanation I can come up with is that Donald Trump is obsessed with the fact that he didn’t win the popular vote.”

1. isn't it going to be cringe worthy no matter who does it ?

[CanonRay]

2. Stephen Miller has only one audience, Sykes continued. Hes playing to Donald Trump"

That's WHY he's out there! Donald Trump only cares about one audience. Donald Trump.

[Maven]

3. "...when they actually have some credible spokesmen."

They do? Who?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

10. I was gonna say that!

Seriously, Mr. Sykes. Who?

[tclambert]

13. Oh, you beat me to it.

[Control-Z]

4. I only caught bits and pieces of the morning shows

today but the common thread was an angry, raging, trump supporting, maniac. I looked up more than once to see if I recognized him. I had no idea who he was.

Now I know. Stephen Miller. Dear gawd, where do they find them? There are so many. And they're all the same. Each and every one of them, a mean, aggressive, liar.

7. They talk fast..

they ramble,say the same things over and over,FULL OF SHIT!

[Control-Z]

8. The speed talk is to

prevent questions. If a host does get a word in they are pro at going right back to their rapid nonsense spewing. Kellyanne Conjob must be coaching all of them.

5. d'oh

The decent and honest citizens of the USA recognize the degenerate anti-American & anti-democracy intent of the KGOP.

Day by day as the KGOP evil rises to the surface like scum upon a cesspool, more and more well-intentioned Americans (who have up till now been hoodwinked by the multi-million dollar bullshit propaganda campaigns funded by billionaires on right wing radio and TV) are joining the Legion of Awakened Americans.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

11. Yes!

[brewens]

6. Vetting those people means he has something really freaky on them to keep them in line.

He doesn't dare let anyone reasonably normal or clean inside. They will blow the whistle on him. Anyone sleazy that he can't control will try and cash in on telling everything.

9. I thought cringe-worthy was a requirement to even work for tRump, let alone speak for him. . . nt

12. Did it appear that Miller was reading from a teleprompter? It sure looked like his eyes were moving

if he was reading. Either that or it was a robot.

[Grins]

14. Charlie Sykes should be abandoned in a deep forest to be skull-fucked by bears.

That bastard was a primo Reich-wing hate-radio host in Milwaukee and up to his ears in dirty GOP Wisconsin politics. That he came out against the GOP last summer? Too late!! The damage was done.

Only then did Republican Family Values Sykes, who got caught screwing his soon-to-be 3rd wife while still married to wife #2, quit his radio gig, and then pen a mea culpa on his role in creating Trump. He should never be seen on any news program anywhere. Ever.

MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, et al, take note.
