“[Trump’s team] said, ‘Well, can you not fact check? He’s not going to take the stage if you fact-check,’” Lemon said.

Amazing.

“Can’t you just let him go out there and lie to everyone? Come on, aren’t you negroes team players?”

solsangraal ,

you know it’s a cult when the leader says “i’m not going to speak unless i can lie with impunity” and people STILL support him

HaleHirsute ,

Can you not even use that word in a parody joke line please.

Well I couldn’t very well use the word they would have actually used, so I went for the closest equivalent.

HaleHirsute ,

It would still be better to avoid that one too. I hate to sound like some racism monitor but it’s really hurtful to see it.

I am not going to let these racists get away with being racist. They’re racist all the time when the cameras are off. They absolutely use both words to talk about black people, even to their faces. And then Trump goes out there and just says a bunch of racist shit.

Nope, I call it as I see it. I censored myself if anything.

HaleHirsute ,

But… it’s hurtful for you to use that word when it really isn’t necessary to do so, even if it’s in a joke.

Hah, he spent like 5 minutes on stage railing about them “being 35 minutes late”. I assumed it ws him being late, but glad to see that backed up by reasons (his lack of faculty to tell the truth).

That is downright bizarre!

“Between the lines: In the aftermath, members remain divided on whether it was right for NABJ to extend the invitation and give a platform to Trump. Some said it was embarrassing; others praised the interviewers for their tough questioning.

Brittany Cummings, a communications professional, was among the members who didn’t think the organization should have extended the invitation to Trump. “I’m not sure that any group of journalists has the ‘secret sauce’ to make him tell the truth and speak as a normal candidate would,” she said. “He’s not a normal candidate, so we can’t treat him as such.” “During the actual discussion, he was disrespectful, and I don’t think there was anything new to learn.””

Almost as if Trumpublicans are weird. I mean, everyone is saying it.

…others praised the interviewers for their tough questioning.

I actually think they more or less missed an open goal here, to be honest. Sure, the overall appearance was probably a net negative for Trump, but it could have been way worse. They got him off balance from the start, but afterwards failed to push back when he started walking all over them in his responses.

It’s clear neither of the hosts could handle either holding him to his statements based on facts, or pushing back against his loudness and personal attacks. They let him control the narrative way too much with stuff like “millions and millions of illegal immigrants swarming in from insane asylums” going unchecked and loud “nasty woman” rants bulldozing over the hosts.

Not only does this make sense, it was also corroborated by NBC Chicago and the deputy editor from HuffPost:

Give him the rope…

And I’m sure this was the actual reason for the delay, not the host’s equipment failure that Trump was rambling on about.

Yes, that is the GOP candidate for President: a guy who doesn’t want to talk to you if you’re going to research whether what he says is true or not.

What a weak man. Donnie needs his own little safe space to make sure he doesn’t have to deal with actual reality.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

And a weird man. He’s just weird. Many people are saying so.

And then immediately complained that he was made to wait. What a weird rube.
