The "Salad Days" are over for Trump's surrogates.

[4now]

This is almost too good to be believed. The kid gloves for the Trump surrogates have finally come off with the television media. I just witnessed a WWE style cage team match on “Hardball”, where former GOP congresscritter Jack Kingston, a Trump senior advisor just got caught up in a three way tag team body slam. Chris Matthews immediately took him to task about the fact that Trump had yet to come out and affirm that he believed that Obama was American born. Kingston blathered on, parroting Giuliani from last night, and then asserted that Clinton had started the birther movement, he had actually “seen” an interoffice Clinton memo that called for surrogates to question Obama’s origin and legitimacy. When pressed by Matthews, he went fuzzy on details, but promised to provide Matthews with a copy.

But Kingston made the mistake of pissing off Joy Reid, who jumped on him like a kid jumping on a floating $1 bill on the street. She hammered him on the blatant racism, assured him that people do care, and pulled up the Politifacts page that debunked his “Clinton claim” as false. Kingston kept smiling, but he was sweating, he responded lamely to Joy Reid, calling her statistics into question. This was not his best move, Katie Tur immediately jumped in and slid in her shiv. She spent 90 seconds telling him exact things Trump supporters had come up to her and said on the subject when she was on the trail. Matthews couldn’t end the segment early enough for Jack Kingston.

I hope the media have had enough of being made to look like fools.

1. Don't hold your breath, horserace needed to make money

Plus the ownership of the networks are not exactly benevolent behemoths with benign public service as their standard.

2. GREAT POST! I hope that segment ends up on YouTube or gets replayed on

MSM a lot. Katie and Joy were awesome.Chris M. was very good too, so I will not bad-mouth him until the next time he goes off the rails.

3. At some point, members of the media need to put their country ahead of their careers.

If they do what's right, they will continue to have careers.

4. His surrogates were getting pounded on Anderson Cooper too

They were telling the usual lies about about Trump releasing his tax returns and how nobody cares about Trump leading the Obama was born in Kenya movement. They had two black pundits I haven't seen before, but boy oh boy did the shut that stuff down.

6. I think infowarts jones is right

There are reptilian aliens trying to take over. Have you ever seen kingston with his mouth closed? I think they made the skin face mask too tight.


BTW it has been fun seeing the media finally get some sense now if they can actually think through the full elections. One thing the media needs to remember is the same person who is saying email scandals yuuuuge was the one saying birth certificate yuuuuuge. Will the media finally understand anything dipshit says is a lie.

7. Yep. They are making his surrogates accountable for their lies.

What is crazy is that they are just holding people accountable for what comes out of their mouths. Imagine that. Maybe there IS something good that came out of the #lauringofthebar.

8. Poor Katie Tur! She was on the primary trail with

Der Drumpfenführer™, so she got to hear a lot from Trump's followers. I'm betting she has a long, long list of nastiness she heard.
