Trump backer explodes when CNNs Paul Begala calls president a moral midget after rally speech

Trump backer explodes when CNN’s Paul Begala calls president a ‘moral midget’ after rally speech

Conservative Paris Dennard blew up on CNN regular Paul Begala after the commentator called President Donald Trump a “moral midget” following the president’s speech at a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday Night.

With former White House official David Gergen calling Trump’s campaign-rally style speech, “The most divisive speech I’ve ever heard from a sitting American president,” Begala piled on by slamming Trump as a “Needy little baby.”

“He’s a needy little baby,” Begala remarked before adding, “We’re going to wait one thousand three hundred and sixty-one days and he’s still going to be the moral midget that you saw on that stand tonight.”

Former White House staffer and Trump backer Paris Dennard then blew up at Begala, saying the way people talk about Trump is “deplorable.”

“That kind of rhetoric, constantly beating at the drum, every single day, 24/7, that is not helping America,” Dennard excitedly said. “And when Paul listen — I did not like 98 to 99 percent of what President Obama did, but I would never call him Obama and I would never call him a moral midget or a needy child even if I thought the two things about him were true.”

“You sit here and attack the president with these horrible things saying about him personally, and say, ‘Well, Mr. President or Trump,’ you are doing the same thing,” Dennard continued. “You have to some kind of honesty about –”

“That is honesty,” Begala shot back. ‘And you’re wrong, my friend. You respect the office and not the man. I respect the office, if he enters the room, I stand. If he signs a law, I obey. He is my president. But he is letting me down and a vast majority of Americans.”

It was undoubtedly lost to him, Palin, and Kid Rock, when they posed with snarky faces and gestures underneath Hillary Clinton's WHITE HOUSE PORTRAIT (she said, in caps, yelling to make it more obvious). Hillary Clinton will ALWAYS have a portrait hanging IN The White House, thankyouverymuch. What have THEY got?

And where's YOUR portrait, you fucking Neanderthals?

they they ran a child sex ring out of the WH and Michelle is a "tranny" and they had Joan Rivers killed. Ugly, nasty stuff. None of the Paris Dennards did a thing to discourage the libel, slander, and hateful smears.

People on both the left and the right said "Obama" all the time. I've said it and not with any disrespect, just as I've said "Clinton", "Bush", "Reagan", "Carter", etc. Talk about an overreaction, geez.

...that he would NOT allow him to follow his Constitutional prerogative AND DUTY to select a Supreme Court Justice? MAKE NO MISTAKE, that was the equivalent of the racist, traitorous piece-of-shit Senator from Kentucky calling the nation's first African-American POTUS "boy."

And I must agree with Begala: I respect the Office of President of the United States and all that it stands for. I HAVE NO RESPECT for the current occupant, whom I believe is illegitimate as hell.

Even with the deck stacked in their favor, they don't feel like winners. They like being able to whine and bitch about Hillary and Obama. The rug has been pulled out from under them.

trump keeps trying to blame flynn on Obama. I think the Obama administration knew he was a double agent and they used him accordingly. trump gave him the keys to the kingdom.

... also a racist, a misogynist, and very possibly a treasonous criminal.

To call him a "moral midget" is to unnecessarily increase his stature while insulting vertically challenged people.
