>> Made some very big mistakes.
I asked for his resignation.
I'm disappointed in the attorney general.
>> Donald Trump is throwing yet another member of his administration under the bus, which
means this is another episode of As the White House Turns.
The drama is real.
This time he is referring to never Trumpers as human scum and he's specifically attacking
individuals like Bill Taylor, who isn't a never Trumper because he works in the Trump
administration.
In fact- >> Got him by definition.
>> Mike Pompeo is the individual who chose him for the role that he's in.
And so Donald Trump also went after members of his administration who keep giving the
so-called human scum these positions.
And that's again, Mike Pompeo.
So I wanna give you the tweet that he put out there.
It would be really great if the people within the Trump Administration, all well-meaning
and good, I hope, could stop hiring never Trumpers who are worse than the Do Nothing
Democrats.
Nothing good will ever come from them.
>> So let's note a couple of things here.
The hilarious, over-the-top incompetence.
He's like I just wish somebody in my administration would know how to manage things.
Big guy, that's supposed to be you.
>> I know.
>> Imagine if a CEO, and sometimes when they get caught doing something wrong they do do
this, of a big company comes out and goes like, I mean, I wish somebody would manage
this company, kind of your job.
>> I mean, we got a little bit of that from Mark Zuckerberg when AOC was grilling him
and asked about how Facebook now has a right wing propaganda site like the Daily Caller
doing fact checking for them.
And he's like, no, it wasn't us.
It's just a third party that we contracted with that makes these decisions.
They're independent.
No, you gotta take responsibility.
You're the CEO of Facebook.
You are the leader.
You should know.
And there have been multiple reports about The Daily Caller and how it's egregious to
have them do any fact checking when they put out all sorts of propaganda.
But none the less, let me move on.
>> The second thing I wanted to say is doubling down what Anna said.
How can you be a never Trumper if you're in the Trump administration?
By definition, they're not never Trumpers.
The never Trumpers can't stand Trump and would never work for him.
Hence the word never.
>> Actually by the way, it's even worse than that.
So again, Pompeo chose him for the role after they got rid of US Ambassador to Ukraine,
Marie Yovanovitch.
>> Right, they got rid of her because she wasn't sufficiently loyal to Trump.
She thought that we should hold the Russians accountable.
Of course Trump hates that.
So he wanted to get rid of her.
He's like, she's not loyal enough to Russia.
I mean me, right?
And so they got rid of her and they put it in this guy who they thought would be sufficiently
loyal.
But he came on and he was like, I kinda am loyal to the Constitution and the laws and
you kind of broke them.
Even though he meant to serve Trump, he didn't have any problem with the Trump administration
as he went and was the acting ambassador to Ukraine.
He didn't even mind replacing the, he liked the woman who he was replacing to be fair
to him, but he didn't mind replacing her.
But when they broke the law, he's like, well, I'm not going to take part in that.
>> And I butchered her name, it's Yovanovitch, my bad.
Now let's go to some other tweets that he put out there.
The never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left are in certain ways worse
and more dangerous for our country than the do nothing democrats, Watch out for them.
They're human scum.
So that's where he referred to them as human scum.
So understand, this is exactly what Republican law makers are afraid of.
Right, they are so scared that Donald Trump is going to cite them in a tweet by name.
And that it will backfire on them when their voters retaliate at the polls.
That's what this is all about.
This is a way of intimidating people and preventing them from speaking out, from enforcing the
rule of law.
From ensuring that the President follows the Constitution and doesn't violate it.
I mean, this is what he does.
This is what mobsters do.
His language is that of a mobster and his actions are that of a mobster.
>> Yeah, it's particularly because of but I'll tell you something.
There's no balance in this country, and both parties are in an extreme.
So Donald Trump goes to this insane extreme where he's calling fellow Republicans human
scum.
I mean unbelievable, unheard of.
On the other hand, the Democrats who say they never ever criticize another Semocrat.
It doesn't matter how much you disagree with them.
>> Unless it's a progressive.
>> Well that's true.
Never ever criticize a conservative Democrat, a moderate Democrat, a centerist Democrat.
AOC and all the squad and the Democrats you can do anything you want to them, but it's
just four people as Nancy Pelosi said.
But seriously though, Obama never leaned on any of the Democrats to get any votes, right,
never leaned on them.
So in politics, you're supposed to hardball and softball.
Donald Trump takes hard balls smashes a bat over somebody's head like Robert De Niro and
is playing mobster right?
And on the other hand, you got guys like Obama who put on little white gloves and they're
like, are you okay?
No, if you wanted the public option, for example, last time around when you did the Affordable
Care Act, you had to actually play a little bit of hardball like Lyndon Johnson did to
get the Civil Rights Act passed.
But there's no balance at all.
We have an insanely out of control Republican Party.
And we have the meekness, most ridiculously mild democratic party that barely fights back.
>> And Donald Trump, of course, has surrounded himself with people who will defend him no
matter what, he's insulated himself from any criticism.
So every once in a while, when criticism does get to him, he loses his mind and goes on
a Twitter rampage.
Now one of the yes men, or yes women, is Press Secretary Grisham and here she is talking
about the human scum comment.
>> The President yesterday called the never Trumpers, scum.
Does he regret that?
>> No, no he shouldn't.
The people who are against him and who have been against him and working against him since
the day they took office are just that.
It is horrible that people are working against a president who's delivering results for this
country and has been since day one.
And the fact that people continue to try to negate anything that he's doing and take away
from the good work he's doing on behalf of the American people, they deserve strong language
like that.
>> What good work is he doing for the American people?
What has he actually done for the American people?
What has he done in the White House other than enrich himself, really?
>> He's literally only passed one thing.
I shouldn't say literally.
>> Tax cuts, yeah.
>> They've named post offices, there's been a couple other totally ineffectual or irrelevant
legislation.
But the major piece of legislation is the tax cuts for the rich.
Who's rich?
Donald Trump kind of.
So that was littered with tax cuts for himself.
In fact, there was special carve outs for real estate, for pass through income, all
the things that Donald Trump does, himself.
He's also of course, encouraged government officials, our government officials, foreign
government officials to state as properties.
He's gotten trademarks for his daughter.
So Anna's, quite literally, correct that the only thing he's ever done is stuff for himself
while he's been in office.
But they're like, if you disagree, if you are disloyal to the President, in even one
statement, and you are Republican, well then, of course you're human scum and we'll come
for you.
Because this is all in service of our dear leader, Donald Trump.
And then, these guys, the Republicans, pretend to be constitutionalists.
That cracks me up, every time.
They're like, gee, we really care about the United States Constitution.
No, the United States Constitution clearly says that the president should not be enriching
himself with the office, that he's supposed to serve the people of this country.
It's supposed to be a democracy.
These guys, I mean, I don't know, Stephanie, if she had a brown shirt on or not.
It looked kinda brown.
But that's exactly what the fascists do.
They come on and go there is one leader who can never be criticized and his word is gospel.
And if anybody criticizes it, we will call them ungodly things, unhuman things, and then
burst into rooms.
Break up political events we don't agree with and intimidate everyone in our path and try
to break enough laws until there is no rule of law.
That's who these Trump supporting Republicans are.
Which is, by the way, almost the entire Republican Party.
