Jr. thinks his Hannity interview is his "Checkers" moment

[underpants]

Found at the end of a good summary of the Jr. - Hannity brainfest last night. Just keep linking no to Nixon there Jr.



Meanwhile, The Washington Post reported Tuesday night that a friend of Trump Jr. said he viewed the Hannity appearance as his “Checkers” moment, referring to a 1952 speech then-vice-presidential candidate Richard Nixon gave to save his position on the Republican ticket.

1. Just how stupid IS this kid, anyway? . . . .n/t

4. Anyone who kills animals for fun

is stupidly crazy if you ask me. I have no problem with a person hunting for food for the table but for a tail of an animal to hang on a wall is beyond stupid, all the way to insane.

He speaks like he's coked up or he just sounds like a full of crap rich boy living off his father.

2. Daddy taught him to lie and think he could b.s. his way out of

everything. Not this. I don't care how many mob connected lawyers they hire.

3. What Jr. doesn't mention, (of course...)

Nixon in his "Checkers speech" threw out a full load of BS, trying to save his own ass after a slush fund for him was discovered.

It worked back then, but Nixon showed just how "honest" and "turstowrthy" he was in the years later, one writer during the 1950's said about Nixon's habit of smearing people he opposed, "He's traveling the country via the sewer."

Nowadays? The sewer is Faux "news."

6. Fake news

No way Jr. knows enough history to make references to the Checkers speech. Far too ignorant and privileged to know about or give a shit about anything that doesn't affect him personally.

7. That whole Nixon thing ended well right?

After Checkers it was clear sailing for Nixon as I recall. No more troubles on the horizon...oh wait.

8. The only use that spawn of a psychopath

would have for "Checkers" would be as a moving target. He'd be practicing for his next big game hunt for endangered species.
