Former FBI Director James Comey might not be popular among the right, left or center. But someone please tell me what is untrue about this statement in his interview last night with George Stephanopoulos on ABC:
A person who sees moral equivalence in Charlottesville, who talks about and treats women like they’re pieces of meat, who lies constantly about matters big and small and insists the American people believe it, that person’s not fit to be president of the United States, on moral grounds. And that’s not a policy statement. I don’t care what your views are on guns, or immigration, or taxes. Our president must embody respect and adhere to the values that are at the core of this country. The most important being ‘truth.’ This President is not able to do that. He is morally unfit to be President.
Of course, no one can dispute Comey's statement. But conservatives have been corrupted by Trump. Evidently a tax cut and a few judicial appointments are sufficient for conservatives to look the other way on Trump's transgressions. Meanwhile, the left and center cannot forgive Comey for re-opening the email investigation against Hillary Clinton.
Trump is morally unfit, but perhaps the same could be said for the electorate who voted for him. We get the White House we deserve.
