Ari Melber makes a dubious claim (regarding the orange guy.)

[pnwmom]

"This is still a human being."

[Marius25]

1. All of MSNBC is making excuses for him. It's disgusting

[Ocelot II]

5. You must be watching a different MSNBC - I'm not getting that at all.

[Marius25]

9. I did.

Katy Tur said "Was it really appropriate to charge him with these crimes?"

Chris Jansing called him "masterful" for getting away with so much.

Ari keeps talking about how innocent until proven guilty he is, something I've never heard him say about a Democrat

[inthewind21]

20. You are

selecting words and partial sentences to fit the half ass statement you are attempting to make. I have been watching, were those words spoken, yes, were they ALL of the sentence, no, not even close. Cut it out! This is not a FOX message board.

P.S. EVERYONE charges with a crime in this country is innocent until proven guilty! Clearly you weren't aware of that.

[Cha]

18. WTH.. like he didn't Beg for this with

all his CRIMES.

Fuck the media shit.

[msfiddlestix]

23. Don't know what's being said on Cable, but it's in line with what I'm hearing online streaming svcs

MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS ... lawyers, or other legal pundits describing this as a weak case... why did they bother? Not saying anyone is praising trump, but certainly they are giving him celebrity status, concerned over the presidential campaign and on and on ..sympathetic language.

It's disgusting, so glad I'm not paying money to cable for this bs.

2. Yes, but Ari felt it had to be stated, so there is that /nt

[RockRaven]

3. Well, I suppose then we all ought to have as much empathy for him as he has for others...

That should be sufficient, right?

[Ocelot II]

4. That is a true statement. Human beings can do terrible things, and often do.

[pnwmom]

6. It is a punchline.

[yonder]

7. Barely

[asiliveandbreathe]

8. It would be one thing if he treated ALL people like human beings..he

deserves everything he has given..he deserves NO respect..he caused all of this for himself, by himself..

Renewal Of American Democracy..David Kay Johnson

[lucca18]

10. He is a (human) "being" who is truly despicable!

[Bluethroughu]

11. And so was Jeffery Dahmer.

[ananda]

12. Whoa. Trump lost his humanity a good while ago, and ....

so have his followers.

[Paladin]

13. Quote some rap lyrics and disappear, Ari. (nt)

[XanaDUer2]

14. Did he rap that? Nt

[gratuitous]

15. I get what you're saying, Ari

But I'm going to need something more than just your word for it.

[Coventina]

16. I think we have to own him. Humans suck, generally.

It certainly doesn't seem fair to curse another species with him.

[inthewind21]

21. "We" absolutely

do own him. He didn't get the Presidency by gun point. He was elected. By US voting citizens. And before anyone screams media, they cheated, gerrymandering, misinformation, remember, those are the VERY SAME excuses republicans use. ALL. THE. TIME!

[Kennah]

17. Fake News

[Cha]

19. A "human being" who is a Treasonous

Criminally Insane, Putin Puppet. BFD

[allegorical oracle]

22. Heard that and yelled "He is NOT!" back at the TV. Ari's trying to look even-handed? nt
