Comey - "Trump MORALLY UNFIT to be President

(CNN) In his first televised interview since President Trump fired him last year, James Comey calls Trump "morally unfit to be President."

The former FBI director's remarks came during a wide-ranging interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Sunday evening. The media appearance kicks off a publicity tour to promote the release of Comey's new book "A Higher Loyalty," which paints a scathing portrait of the President.

"Our President must embody respect and adhere to the values that are at the core of this country," Comey told Stephanopoulos,, adding, "the most important being truth. This President is not able to do that. He is morally unfit to be President."

I'm used to long meandering interviews on PBS so this seemed chopped and jerky with lots of edits. I know they were trying to fit a lot in, but there should have been more time.

The morals......I can overlook a few things, just like the evanHELLicals (but for far different reasons) but not having the brains of a baggie full of wet hair......that bothers me. I like my Presidents at least somewhat cerebral.

Sean would go down on Trump on live TV, broadcast around the world, just for the "pearl necklace".

Who am I kidding? Trump can't get it up anymore. The thought of that is rather sickening.
