Republican Fox & Friends pundit, overcome with emotion, says he can’t defend Trump anymore
"He has failed us."

Gianno Caldwell, a Republican pundit, was skeptical of Donald Trump’s original run for president, but he came to be one of Trump’s most outspoken supporters. During an interview Wednesday morning on Fox News about President Trump’s outrageous press conference, his outlook changed dramatically.

Caldwell was identified as a Republican political analyst, and he was introduced to the segment with a question about the “good people on both sides of the debate” about the fate of Confederate statues, but he did not take the bait. “I come today with a very heavy heart,” he started. “Last night, I couldn’t sleep at all because President Trump, our president, has literally betrayed the conscience of our country.”

Caldwell started to tear up as he continued to speak:

The very moral fabric in which we’ve made progress when it comes to race relations in America? He’s failed us, and it’s very unfortunate that our president would say things like he did in that press conference yesterday when he says, ‘There are good people on the side of the Nazis. They weren’t all Nazis and they weren’t all white supremacists.’ Mr. President, good people don’t pal around with Nazis and white supremacists. Maybe they don’t consider themselves white supremacists and Nazis, but certainly they hold those views. This has become very troubling and for anyone to come on any network and defend what President Trump did and said at that press conference yesterday is completely lost and the potential to be morally bankrupt. I’m sorry — no, I believe that and I’m being very honest as one who has been talking about these issues for a very long time. I’m sorry that this is where we are right now. I hope the president learns a lesson from his press conference on yesterday. It’s disturbing.

1. "I hope the president learns a lesson"

No, he won't and GOPers might as well save the energy and oxygen it takes to keep saying that.

3. Gee Mr. Caldwell, is it getting a little too close for comfort for you? Were you this upset when

trump went after Hispanics, Muslims, and other demographics that you don't personally empathize with?

Mr. Caldwell, you maligned and spewed your garbage about Hillary for sometime now, and your favorite quote identifies just exactly the kind of phony you are when you said:

"Black Lives don't matter to Hillary Clinton, Black votes matter to Hillary Clinton"

Well Mr. Caldwell, YOU voted for trump knowing that trump was a racist, bigot, and sexist, and now you express disappointment

If you want sympathy from me, Mr. Caldwell, look it up in the dictionary, between suicide and syphilis
