THE problem.

Via Emptywheel:

Criminal protection racket.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Just to sum up. You support #Trump for pres even if he's convicted in classified docs case. You support him for pres even though you believe he contributed to an insurrection. You support him for pres even though you believe he's lying about the last election. You support him for pres even if he's convicted in Manhattan case. I just want to say, the answer to that is yes, correct?

SUNUNU: Yeah. Me and 51% of America.

@GottaLaff

74 million is not 51% of Americans.

Republicans are liars.

@troy_frizzell @GottaLaff Less than 81 million. And joe didn’t spend the last 4 years lying to kill more people.
@Tbsa @troy_frizzell @GottaLaff
Just the last 6 months😃
@duckwhistle @troy_frizzell @GottaLaff Hoe is the President of the United Stayes killing people: and don’t give me recon talking points.
@Tbsa @troy_frizzell @GottaLaff by continuing to supply arms to Israel and supporting the genocide in Gaza.
@duckwhistle @troy_frizzell @GottaLaff That is the CONGRESS, if Biden could send arms and money to a country alone, he’d be sending it to Ukraine.

@[email protected] @troy_frizzell @GottaLaff Because Trump will do better right? Wyf is wrong with people? Trump or Biden. I’m blocking you because imo you’re working to elect Trump.
@Tbsa TY for the heads up. Me too. @troy_frizzell

@GottaLaff

Yet another reason why MAGAts want to pull funding from education:

They don't want people to realize that 35 ≠ 51...

@GottaLaff The fact he's a rapist is an incentive for his voters.
@Grant_M All of his crimes are.

@GottaLaff

Solid effort by George. Truly frightening.

The only thing I wished he'd asked is, "don't you think that 51% of America is listening to leaders like yourself? "

@pixelpusher220 And it wasn't 51% of Americans.
@GottaLaff The GQP always fall in line! They are Domestic Terrorists and Traitors
@otownKim Yep. Dangerous, alarming, sick.
@GottaLaff @emptywheel I assume this is a paraphrase of an actual interview. Do I have that right?
@deborahh It's a direct quote from Stephanopoulos interview, as I posted.

@GottaLaff that's … incredible 😲😵‍💫

Edit: and Sununu is … (looking it up) …
the governor
of New Hampshire? 😱

I didn't expect that 🙁

@GottaLaff Substitute "because" for "even though" and it's more honest.
@GottaLaff wasn’t he flogging Nikki Haley for President and saying different words about TFG a few weeks ago? I can’t keep up..

@GottaLaff

Y'know, I've gotta move in July. I've lived so long in MA that I've come to think my (presidential) vote doesn't do much - MA will go blue, no matter what.

Maybe I should consider NH...

@GottaLaff

So many people remain willfully blind to the fact that the insurrection is still ongoing.

@OftOverthinking True. It's insane.

@GottaLaff

At this point I often feel more anger towards Stephanopoulos, et al. than I do the fascists.

@OftOverthinking @GottaLaff

The corporate media are in control of their shills, certainly, and 99% of people are not activists or interesting in becoming activists, or targets, or anything except consumers. And the corporations want to keep them that way.

@GottaLaff It’s not Trump he actually supports. He is saying outloud he wants a Fascist dictatorship to rule America.
@MiriShuli @GottaLaff that is the question they should pin these fuckwits down on. Why do you want our nation to be an authoritarian fascist dictatorship? That would literally be the end of The United States of America as conceived and defined in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
@GottaLaff Would have been a good time to point out that Trump lost the popular vote in both elections, and performed worse his second time out.
@GottaLaff republicans can’t count or do math.
@Tbsa They can, they just lie.

@GottaLaff I didn't see the segment, but I'll assume Stephanopoulus didn't press Sununu on *his* oath of office, *his* leadership and *his* responsibility to his state and the country, and how that relates to supporting a presidential candidate that does not deny the criminal conduct for which he was indicted.

Sununu & other Republicans are still being allowed to play a dangerous game by the few mainstream journalists that get the chance to interview them.

#politics #journalism

@GottaLaff Did George Stephanopoulos cut Sununu off and go to a commercial when he started spouting nonsense?
@GottaLaff Where did he get 51 percent? Or is he excluding everything bu red states?

LMAO "51% of America". this is how they fabricate the majorities they have never had. EVER.

@GottaLaff

@GottaLaff @blogdiva In his defense, it was 51% of his country club.

@GottaLaff I mean I know he wants a dictatorship and all but like does he just not math or know where the numbers come from?

Because if this was true (even remotely) they wouldn't be working the SC or the EC or be cheating/stacking the deck as hard as they are...🤔

@GottaLaff

51% of 51% is more accurate.

The RWNJs live in a bubble.

@GottaLaff
I hope and believe his math is wrong, but I admit the sentiment is sadly accurate.
@GottaLaff I hate when they just let them lie on air. Call them out. Correct things like this that are obviously incorrect.

@GottaLaff

Sununu said that?? I thought he had SOME of his father's sense. That's bonkers.

@GottaLaff Republicans are really bad at math.
@GottaLaff I don’t understand the desire to be forced to live with private security for your entire family.
@GottaLaff Trump speaks at a 4th grade level, MAGA finds Trump a genius and Jesus which suggests ignorance becomes stupidity, and stupidity has no bounds.
@GottaLaff I don’t think the 51% is accurate. Just another lie they tell to help in another election scam conspiracy. When Donnie loses again.

@GottaLaff

Putin math.

Good Comrade Sununu.

@GottaLaff
So unbelievably chilling.
@GottaLaff
Tell me you're a piece of garbage, Sununu, without telling me you're a piece of garbage
