GOP Senator Weasels And Squirms When Confronted With Choice About Trump
Republican Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford waffled and used lots of weasel words to try to avoid directly answering whether he supports Trump as their nominee given all the vile things that have come out of Trump's mouth and the 91 felony counts he's facing. In the end, of course, he's just like the rest of them. He's going to support the fascist criminal because heaven forbid nothing could be worse than supporting a Democrat.
It was nice to see George Stephanopoulos keep at it until he finally got an answer out of him.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator Lankford, thank you for joining us this morning. I want to get to the war and the negotiations over border security and foreign aid. But first, your party's leading candidate for president was on the stump yesterday repeating lies about the 2020 election. He's called those convicted in the January 6th insurrection hostages. He faces 91 separate felony counts himself. He's raised the prospect of executing the former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and terminating parts of the Constitution. In the face of all that and more, are you prepared to support Donald Trump if he's your party's nominee?
It's nice to see someone on the main broadcast networks calling Trump a liar, and detailing the legal jeopardy he's in, while also highlighting his insane statements like the one about General Milley. It would be great if a few Republican voters actually questioned whether it's a good idea to support Trump.
