Fox Business Host Relentlessly Shames Trump Rep. For Defending His ‘Obscene’ Name-Calling (1 Viewer)

Fox Business host Stuart Varney scolded Donald Trump’s campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt like a headmaster admonishing a wayward student.
At issue was the former president’s new nickname for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, “New-scum.”
Varney had a problem with the moniker. “I object to that kind of language. How about you?” he asked Leavitt on Thursday.
She bemoaned the “once great state of California” under Newsom. “You see real scum, real homeless people all over the street,” she said.
“Are you saying it’s OK to bring that kind of language to a presidential campaign?” Varney said. “New-scum? That’s OK?”
Leavitt replied that the “real problem” was “deranged Democrats” like Newsom and President Joe Biden.
“No,” Varney snapped. “I think your campaign has a problem with language like that.”
Leavitt said voters don’t agree, prompting Varney to again question the messaging. Now that Trump’s last GOP foe, Nikki Haley, has withdrawn from the race, Varney asked:
“You think you’re going to win over Haley voters with language like that, do you?” he asked. “Do you win over moderates and women with language like that? Really?”
According to a longer clip shared by Raw Story, Leavitt replied that “tough rhetoric” was required.
“Actually, it is not tough rhetoric,” Varney snapped. “It is obscene.”

I remember how the right wing and their news outlets went totally bonkers because Hillary said that some of trumps were a basket full of deplorables.

They were SOOOO offended and said that no decent person would say such a thing about half the nation. Even though she didn't say that about half the nation. The trump people are around a quarter of the nation.

Their offense was all fake. Is there anything real about them?

trump calls democrats vermin and that's ok with the trump people. Now he's calling a governor of one of our states scum. Has changed his name to New scum.

It's so childish it's sick. It's so deplorable I just don't know the words to describe it.

All trump does is tear down our nation and anyone who doesn't support him. All he has been saying about our nation says to me is that he hates our nation. He doesn't say anything positive about our nation or our people.

He's only running to get revenge and stay out of prison.

It's going to get even more ugly.

There are about 80 million people that are a serious problem.

I don't know if the number is that high.

I do know it's not fair to lump all of America in with them.

The vast majority of us aren't like that.

We are appalled with the behavior of trump and is followers.

I know I'm sick of it all.

More people voted for Drumpf the second time than the first time despite or rather in spite of knowing what he was.

Are there some who voted for him who will not vote him this time? Undoubtedly. Is it likely that there are some who will not vote for Biden because of his age or the perception that he yields power to make Bibi stop killing Palestinians? Very likely.

I agree with being sick of it but this has truly pulled the curtain back on some truths that has been, imo, ignored for far too long.

The job of being president is far too big and complex to be done by one person. The electoral process which evolved from conventions to primaries is a circus. An electorate of about 255 million people is intellectually incapable in the aggregate of understanding the issues beyond sound bites because of the pressures of living in a political economy/society that is toxic to the psyche. To be sure some understand more than others but the aggregate becomes the problem.

She bemoaned the “once great state of California” under Newsom. “You see real scum, real homeless people all over the street,” she said.

I this is the worst part of what she said. Too many people sincerely think of homeless people as scum. What people really think about people can best be seen in how they treat the most vulnerable. The homeless are vulnerable people and here we have a representative of a presidential candidate calling homeless people scum.
