27. Can you imagine the reaction on the Right if Obama had equated Russia with the United States?

Feb 2017

The right-wingers would have called for his impeachment and Fox Noise and right-wing radio would have had a meltdown.

These are the people who believe America is exceptional, a shining beacon on a hill, a country that can no wrong, and has no reason to apologize for anything. Yet their president basically said America is morally no better than a country whose leader has killed journalists, invaded neighboring countries and has committed human rights abuses. I want to see how right-wingers react to what Trump said in the Bill-O interview.
