What the nation witnessed last night was political pornography, noisome and revolting, courtesy of political pornographer-in-chief, Donald Trump.
I have never felt such hot hatred for anyone as I did last night for that lying and preening awful excuse of a human being. For this so-called president, this so-called “man” – to shamelessly exploit Ryan’s widow and her raw grief as a tawdry national prop for his flaming narcissism, as a cowardly cover for his lies about what happened in Yemen, and as an emotion-milking smokescreen for his and the Republican Party’s fascistic policies – is the most abusive and disgusting thing I have seen in over 50 years of following politics.
This was beyond the pale. This is irredeemable.
