Mika Brzezinski saw right through Donald Trumps meeting with some Gold Star families, who he later bragged wrote him a campaign contribution check.
The co-host of MSNBCs Morning Joe said the meeting, like the rest of the Trump campaign, was a scam intended to dupe Americans into thinking he cared about anything beyond his own selfish interests.
Im just trying to because, look, Trump supporters, people who support Donald Trump, are people who should be respected for how they feel, Brzezinski, pausing frequently and her voice cracking with emotion. But I worry that they dont understand that theyre being scammed, and theyre being scammed by somebody whos really good at it, so its not like, you know, its their fault. But I will say that its a scam, what Trump is selling.
Talking to Gold Star families after the biggest gaffe in probably presidential politics, candidacys history, what he did with the Khans hes just trying to clean up, Brzezinski said. I mean, do you want someone who speaks from the heart and says nothing or says anything, or do you want someone who speaks from the heart and has some principle behind it and sticks to his word? This is a scam, and it seems like he has a lot of followers.

(47,560 posts)Mika and Joe to figure that out? For over a year, no one in the media held Trump accountable for much of anything, in spite of the fact that there was so much to work with.
I'm glad they are speaking out now, but they should have been more vocal a long time ago. After all it was no secret that Donald Trump is a con-artist and grifter.

(113,511 posts)laugh at them, humiliate and belittle them, but I do NOT "have to respect them". the only thing I have to respect is that they have a right to their ignorant, hate-filled opinions. I have the right to make all the fun of them I want.

(10,252 posts)depravity - defined as moral corruption. Donald Trump and the whole Republican party are simply depraved. Their moral compasses are broken, assuming they ever had any. When the greedy acquisition of money and power becomes the highest value - far above people, that is depravity. When lie after lie about trickle down economics, climate change, helping poor people by cutting food stamps and school lunches, profiting off college students, allowing the usery of payday lenders, refusing women to control their own bodies, denying equal rights to LGBT people, suppressing the vote, gerrymandering districts, refusing to seat judges, withholding healthcare, privatizing prisons, social security, the post office, and everything that isn't nailed down - - when those positions are a political party's platform, then that party is the party of depravity.
DEPRAVITY DEPRAVITY DEPRAVITY. The GOP is an immoral organization. I want to see more DUers using the words depravity and depraved, when discussing the GOP and its candidates, who hold these positions. We need to emphasize a secular ethics that values people above money and power.

(22,671 posts)Its how, time and time again, they scam voters into voting against their own best interests, selecting the republican over the democratic candidate.
Republican voters are followers that only see two sides to any issue. They're the reason we have the congress we have and our civil rights keep getting more and more diluted.
It's time to put an end to it all. Vote. GOTV and elect Hillary/Kaine.
