Steffi DUI Grisham: Dingell insult was Trump riffing & counter-punching for a supportive, wild crowd

Aaron Rupar
@atrupar

STEPHANOPOULOS: Why did Trump joke about John Dingell being in hell at his rally last night?

STEPHANIE GRISHAM: "As we all know, the president is a counter-puncher. It was a very supportive and wild crowd. He was just riffing."

He is a brutal, amoral, bully with no feelings for anyone but himself.

But we understand, Stephanie. Trump is paying you to say this nonsense.

Have another drink Stephie.

John Dingell was a good guy and took care of those he represented and supported and authored legislation that was good for us -- the non-billionaire crowd.

The POS you work for could not hold a candle to him in any manner. So, Stephie, I say this to you: FUCK YOU and HAPPY IMPEACHMAS.

10. Exactly. Is she saying Dingell threw the first punch and Trump is defending himself from a dead man?

Trump is not counter-punching. He is flailing wildly at phantom enemies.

it was tasteless and crass. That’s why I can believe he was trying to make a joke, juvenile, tasteless and crass, just like himself.

All who follow trump are essentially haters, as he is. When they look in the mirror, trumps face is superimposed over theirs. And I think trump knows a lot about Heaven and Hell. He may have had a near death experience earlier and here's what happened. trump; " Hey, what happened, where am I? I flew through this tunnel and now I'm in a fog. Here comes Jesus! Why is it so hot in here? Hey wait a minute,Jesus doesn't have horns, oh nooooooooo.......

GOP all deserve hell.

Best we could do (if we tried) is make it hellish for them now.

I've been holding my breath an awfully long time on that...

17. Steffi, people with normal amounts of empathy and compassion don't 'riff' about such things.

The fact that you don’t know that makes you look bad too.
