Trump backer Paris Dennard: Calling Trump a moral midget and a needy little baby "is not helpful"

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/trump-backer-explodes-when-cnns-paul-begala-calls-president-as-a-moral-midget-after-rally-speech/



“He’s a needy little baby,” Begala remarked before adding, “We’re going to wait one thousand three hundred and sixty-one days and he’s still going to be the moral midget that you saw on that stand tonight.”

“That kind of rhetoric, constantly beating at the drum, every single day, 24/7, that is not helping America,” (Former White House staffer and Trump backer Paris) Dennard excitedly said. “And when Paul listen — I did not like 98 to 99 percent of what President Obama did, but I would never call him Obama and I would never call him a moral midget or a needy child even if I thought the two things about him were true.”

“You sit here and attack the president with these horrible things saying about him personally, and say, ‘Well, Mr. President or Trump,’ you are doing the same thing,” Dennard continued. “You have to some kind of honesty about –”

“That is honesty,” Begala shot back. ‘And you’re wrong, my friend. You respect the office and not the man. I respect the office, if he enters the room, I stand. If he signs a law, I obey. He is my president. But he is letting me down and a vast majority of Americans.”

And this turd has the nerve to dress us down?

You lose your right to whine about respect when history shows you to be the least respectful group in American history.

using the pejorative term Pocahontas? Remember this is not some pundit, but the President saying this about a sitting Senator.
