Hugh Hewitt represents an almost singular challenge to those of us who try to traffic in the truth, nearly unique amongst the bottom feeding defenders of Trump, Hewitt is intelligent enough to read a speech written by Robert Kennedy, dissect and distort his words enough to fool the idiots who read him and are willing to suspend disbelief at his assertion that Bobby Kennedy would, if he were still alive, be doing anything but flaying Trump in every single phrase that he utters.

In his Washington Post Column Hewlitt castigates Democrats wrongly for the societal upheavals unleashed by generational changing of the guard in the late 1960s and, slightly less wrongly, on the scourge of the Vietnam war (which Bobby sought desperately to end)... even though he some how manages to lay the combat dead in 1970 at the Democrats feet... before he gets to his meat.

Praising Bobby’s speech in Indianapolis on the night of Martin Luther King Jr.’s murder, as we all should, Hewlitt fails to grasp or, chooses not to comprehend, as doing so would spoil his attempt to weaponize the speech, is that Kennedy was pleading that his largely black audience show an almost un-human degree of forbearance in response to the naked white racism that killed Dr. King.

Hewitt recasts that plea, rooted in Kennedy’s understanding of the moment and the historical forces that led to it, as a request for a cloud of tolerance to envelope both sides of the racist divide, as Hewitt undoubtedly believes that both sides have “very fine people” on their teams, and that that opium cloud of bullshit be allowed also to enshroud der leader Trump.

Lets think about this for one minute, this a****le, Hewitt has gig on MSNBC, and as for adding more insult to the fomenting of hate, on PBS Maryland, the McLaughlin Report, in the country, if anyone watches, they, PBS Maryland will add another fucking avowed racist by the name of Pat Buchanan, while PBS, will be asking for donations like programs like this............................. . Because after all, the republicans smeared public television, for years as being to "LIBERAL"....................and MSNBC allows this Hewitt, jerk airtime to rant his BS, and just doesn't have any principles......................just fucking greed.....................
