MSNBC, Hugh Hewitt pissed me off............

It's bad enough hearing the Trump campaign belittle voters, but to hear the same crap on MSNBC is ridiculous.

Joy Reid this morning was discussing the placement of Pro-Trump ads in Pennsylvania, specifically Pittsburgh. Joy's question was what voters was the Trump campaign targeting.

Hewitt's response was Pittsburgh Steeler fans, so they'll (Trump campaign) will have to speak slowly.

Well I'm a die-hard Steeler Fan, I have a Masters Degree, and the Trump campaign doesn't have to speak slowly for those of us in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to understand what the hell's going on.

Grr...............

But there are plenty of ways to reach conservative sports fans without offending the ones that aren't.

I mean, the Latter Day Republicans have made it plain that they're generally into hate, but now to discover that they are trashing the fanbase of one of the NFL's legendary teams, OMG, it's just a hideous realization.

It's as if this attack on football fans were some kind of skanky darkside Putin Propaganda Plot developed with #ComradeManafort in the EVIL EMPIRE to boost the Latter Day Republicans and thereby totally destroy the fabric of American sportsdom.
