Joe Walsh Smashes ‘Scared’ RNC For Protecting ‘Con Man’ Trump | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

Walsh rips Trump, calling him ‘unfit to be President,’ slamming him for not being capable to think ‘about anyone but himself.’ Ari Melber also presses Walsh about his controversial comments on the 50th anniversary of MLK’s march on Washington, that he has a ‘dream that blacks cease their dependency on government.’

Joe Walsh Smashes 'Scared' RNC For Protecting 'Con Man' Trump | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

53 comments

  1. This is an ex tRumpie RepubliKKKan calling SpankyPants tRump a “Con man” who is selfish & who is unfit to be POTUS. This is putting it lightly to say the least in my opinion. SpankyPants is a most criminally corrupt “Individual #1” who is also a self admitted serial sexual assaulter. He is treasonous & treacherous & a puppet to Putin & Russia. Joe Walsh was being way too kind to SpankyPants!

    1. Terry Normalcy : That sounds fantastic & I like that. If I was a not so Repugnant RepubliKKKan then I would vote for him on just that account. I’m not & can never bring myself to go that way cause it’s against my grain.

    2. Just how is Trump a “self admitted serial sexual assaulter”?
      Just how is Trump been treasonous and a puppet to Russia?
      You might do well to get some fresh political news air to see what is really going on. If you have the facts to stand up in court I will accept your diatribe.

    NO OTHER PRESIDENT IN OUR HISTORY HAS HAD SUCH A MASSIVE TURNOVER IN STAFF.

    1. What is your point? The President is in charge. He IS the Executive branch of government. There are forces at play that do not adequately reflect your general conclusion. Democrats constantly held up confirmations of staff for no reason but to make it hard for Trump to do his job. Maybe some were not a good fit, maybe some became burned out, maybe some disagreed which is honorable. To lump all together as a problem is merely creating a story to feed a narrative.

    2. @Larry Be Oh my LORD. In all seriousness Larry have you ever has a Psychiatric assessment? If the answer is NO then you seriously Need one.
      If the answer is Yes then you need to be re accessed as soon as possible, you grasp on reality is non existent.

    3. @Varekai Ascendant
      Do you at least admit that had all Trumps nominees been confirmed in a timely basis some of these you list (double at times) would not have occurred? Huntsman is going for a possible run for governor. Why is that bad?

  3. If you don’t like Democrats, I get it, but that is no excuse to pro-actively, enable the P0S in the WH. It’s time to Flush the Orange Floater.

    1. @Tom Rhodes
      Calling individuals appropriate monikers for what they said or have done is worse than calling half the population of the United States deplorable? I suppose we have different ideas of what is fair.

    2. @Jerry Guerra
      I will ask you just one question. Have Democrats renounced their integral history with the KKK, or segregation and the like or merely cast that moniker onto Republicans? The actions I see of late meld well with efforts of the past.

    3. @Larry Be Yep, racist support trump and trump calls them fine people. And you idiots can’t figure out why minorities don’t vote republiKKKLAN.

  4. Too late to confront the GOP, this is the party that pardoned Nixon and has dodged accountability since the 60s…. Remember every one of them and vote blue.

    1. WRONG!!!!! Reality? Nixon RESIGNED before the full House of Representatives voted on filing the Articles of Impeachment, it never happened. I grew up watching that saga happen, Google it.

    2. @Richie Tattersall
      I remember someone on the debate stage claiming Trump not accepting the results of the election would be terrible for the nation. May I ask you to tell me who has not accepted the results of the 2016 election? Someone who had it in the bag with help from media and even Obama’s DOJ, FBI, CIA, and State Dept. and still lost. Who was calling for impeachment just days after Trump was sworn in? Who is still calling for impeachment with every underhanded tactic known to exist? And you want to claim Trump is tearing the country apart??????

  5. Interesting ‘back and forth’ here. It’s good to have Walsh’s comments ( on this occasion ) uttered so vehemently and with such definition. Glad everyone remained civil.

  6. At least Joe is still a fiscal conservative, what do the GOP stand for anymore, except cult worship ?
    Kool-Aid anyone !

    1. Listen, if Walsh thought Trump was still winning, then he’d still be on Trump’s side. He’s just another greasy little opportunist and he’s trying to jump from the sinking ship. Too little — too late.

  7. Holy crap. Trump made over 12,019 false and misleading claims over the past 928 days? Wow. That’s definately going to cost Trump the rest of his entire life.

    1. The same individual who was taken aback when he lost his job on radio because he announced his run for president due to equal time fairness in broadcasting? It is more than what someone merely echoes to the like minded. What do the millions who support Trump and have as much of a stake in this nation succeeding see that you do not? This is not a sporting endeavor.

  8. I don’t like Walsh, but he has a right to run. He’s correct about Trump and the RNC being terrified little snowflakes.

    1. @ZedK49
      The same individual who was surprised right before going on air to learn he lost his job in radio because he announced his run for president? That forward thinking coherent person?

    2. @Larry Be Sure. The points still stand. I don’t really like the guy but he has the right to run and he’s eons more coherent than Trump.

    3. @ZedK49
      Do you know all that Trump has accomplished since taking office? Do you care or is it just being entrenched in how or what he says? Trump has not chosen sides when he declares his desire to help America. His efforts raises all boats regardless of party affiliation. Yes, he has the right to run. It is quite an undertaking, sacrifice and challenge to do so. Reagan stood up to Ford in ’76 so it is not unprecedented. Even Ted Kennedy as Senator went to the USSR to undermine Reagan.

    4. @Larry Be Yes, my opinion is based on what Trump says and does. The conclusion is that he’s a lying fraud that is causing great damage to the USA because of his recklessness, divisiveness, and autocratic tendencies. He’s too dumb and incompetent to hold such a position.

      If you truly think he’s acting selflessly or regardless of party affiliation, you are truly delusional and I would invite you to get more informed on the matter. It’s all about self-preservation, his brand, his ego.. and golf.

  9. with a criminal cohort, each member is aware of the big con, they just can not see the little con against themselves

  10. The GOP are just a party of sycophantic Bloodsuckers (see Darkest Dungeon for details) at this point.

    Thay’re all craving “The Blood” (of America) in order to sate their own selfish desires, with the giant bloated leech “Trump” in charge of them.

    1. I don’t think they’re worried because they know the fix is in. McConnel won’t protect elections, trump invites outside help and more than just russia this time is happy to comply. The republicans are banking on a rigged election in 2020.

    2. @Patrick
      Please enlighten me on the rigged election for 2020. I just hope it is not like what Hillary tried to pull off in 2016.

    3. @Larry Be Why, I’m sure you have all the prescribed talking points. I’m actually surprised you didn’t say ” but her emails “. Take care.

    4. Larry Be with all due respect, I have not come across many who believe in facts that would dispute that the last election was not rigged on behalf of trump.
