CNN simply MUST stop giving Jack Kingston air time!

[MoonRiver]

CNN host Martin Savidge pressed Kingston on the firing revelation, asking, “Jack, President Trump has claimed the report that he tried to fire Mueller was ‘fake news.’ He’s used that before on things that he has not liked that have been reported to the mainstream media. But even his favorite news channel, Fox News, has confirmed the report. So is fake news going to cut it as far as the defense for the president?”

“Well, I don’t think he really needs a defense,” Kingston parried. “I think at this time he had a very, very aggressive attorney in Marc Kasowitz who probably made the recommendation not only to be pushed back very, very hard but to consider firing Mueller because of his obvious conflict of falling out about the golf club with Trump and the fact that he was passed over for the FBI job just days before which he apparently really wanted.”

“So, I think there was question about Mueller’s conflicts, not to mention everything else we’ve learned about Peter Strzok and Lisa Page and the memos and misuse of FISA and everything else. so, i think –” Kingston attempted.

“Wait, his argument is that my attorney put me up to it here?” Savidge interrupted.

“I think so,” Kingston replied. “I think — this is what I understand as very possible is that he said you should consider it. McGahn said it is a horrible idea and if you do it, I would resign.”

1. I thought Richard Painter's reply was very effective.

Richard Painter, a Republican who was a White House ethics chief, very effectively pointed out the holes in Kingston's little spin job.

2. I think Painter wanted to reach through the screen and handle that guy..

5. Yes, it was, but far too often that scum is just allowed to spew.

I have no idea why CNN continues to parade him out. Every time I see his irritating, smirking face I switch channels.

3. I don't know who is worst Jack Kingston or Paris Dennard...

[MoonRiver]

6. Yep, that's a hard choice.

4. In sum, "my lawyer made me do it."

7. I can't watch that ass at all...even on Real Time

with Bill Maher. He is up there with Kelleyanne and pals. My mute button on my remote has gotten quite the workout in the past two years.

10. Same here, lol!

8. Kingston is intellectually defunct.

But where is the pool of intelligent Trump defenders in which his replacement could be found? As long as cable news networks feel a need to fairly balance news with fake news, the Kingstons of the world have a shot at a job. Irksome, ain't it?

11. CNN isnt the place to go if someone wants an echo chamber.

There are other channels for that.

I like when Kingston is on because he always presents a vigorous defense of Trump, and then gets thoroughly smacked down.

[MoonRiver]

12. Unfortunately, he absolutely does NOT always get smacked down.

Most of the time he's allowed to spew his pro-Chump garbage with very little blowback.

14. Got any links to examples?

13. His response to any question begins with that gaping vacuous grin which continues as he

excuses virtually any outrage committed by the GOP cabal. Facts are never a problem for Smilin' Jack because he truly doesn't understand the concept. He's a fan of MSU: "Makin' Shit Up".
