Carl Bernstein: Donald Trump is a ‘pathological liar’ and America’s first ‘neofascist’ nominee

[kpete]

The former Washington Post reporter who was part of the team that uncovered the Watergate scandal in the 70’s, offered a very harsh assessment of Trump, saying “very little truth that comes out of his mouth.”

Trump has “shown himself throughout this campaign to be a pathological liar,” Bernstein stated.”There’s very little truth that comes out of his mouth, so let’s start there.”

“Really, this is about a candidate for president of the United States who does not believe in a free press,” he exclaimed. “He keeps talking about changing libel laws and suing the press and has instituted many, many lawsuits throughout his career. The underlying story here is who is Donald Trump? And I will say, and have said, that we are seeing the nominee of a major political party for the first time in our history, who is a neofascist, a particular kind of neofascist — a strong man who doesn’t believe in democratic institutions.”

“His bigotry is evident and we need to keep looking at it, but this is a story of a candidate who is a total break in our history and we need to be doing reporting on it, not just debating it on television,” he continued. “I think the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are way ahead of television right now in terms of this candidate — and also in terms of who Hillary Clinton is.”

1. Hillary is a pathological liar as well, and a neolib. SHe & her friend Donald.

One says horrible things about Muslims & the other...

Laughs about Gadhaffis death, sodomized with a sword before execution, saying "We came, we saw, he died!"

3. I guess DU = Donald Underground now.

6. Enjoy, I was here for over a decade. The Hillary syncophant site is not the DU that I loved

Guessing DU no longer needs my $ or ad revenue from my visits since I use AdBlock.

10. Hillary is neoconservative.

She fits right into the mold of former Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson. One of the founders of the neoconservative movement. Guess what? He was a Democrat.

Neoconservatism runs strong in both parties, my friends.

2. You have my sympathy.

You are apparently so consumed with Hillary-hate that you just can't pass up any opportunity to stretch a credible anti-Trump essay into a transparent and vile attack on the nominee of the party this website supposedly supports and who has about as much in common with Trump as you have with an honest poster.

Have a great evening.

7. LOL! My you Hillbots are SO predictable.

Don't you know that her friend Donald will completely trash her over the #Guccifer expos?

[Atticus]

9. Now you have even more of my sympathy.

If you have to resort to using rumors of what an anonymous Russian criminal MIGHT have said, you are truly a pathetic case. But, go ahead: get it all out in these last hours. It must seem like lancing a boil, what with all the vile corruption you are spewing.

Take your best shot. You just aren't worth any further response.

5. Woodward, on the other hand...

... will find reasons to support Trump, as he did with GWB.

it was fun to watch the others on the show try to keep from reacting while Bernstein had his say

Dana Milbank look like he was trying to swallow a golf ball.
