OMFG. Kurt Eichenwald just ripped a Trump apologist a new one on AM Joy.

It was a thing of beauty. Called Trump surrogates "juvenile" and tore into him for trying to justify Trump's continued excoriation of the Central Park 5. Forget Pulitzer--he deserves the Medal of Freedom.

insulted and angry, as are so many of us.

On edit: I should've added that Joy Reid is also a national treasure. She's one of the few broadcast journalists who isn't afraid to "rock the boat", who bravely speaks truth to power.

Needs to be the push back on Trump, Pence and all their surrogates.

Hillary should refuse to shake Trump's hand and walk away with a disgusted look at those tiny appendages tomorrow night.

Forgot exactly who came up with that genius idea on MSMBC last night but it was a female.

It was the refuse to shake hands bit a woman on MSNBC mentioned last night I was referring to.

I wish Hillary would refuse to even touch him.

Or ... bring a big bottle of hand sanitizer to very dramatically use with a look of disgust on her face afterward.

His refusal to acknowledge truth disqualifies him again. Especially after calling for the death penalty and prejudging the 15 year olds.

His racism can't be rewarded with the title POTUS.
