So Why Was Trump So Nice To Clinton In The 90's?
Trump's Special Council, Michael Cohen, can't defend his boss' hypocrisy over Bill Clinton. Donald defended Bill Clinton consistently in the 1990's from the various attacks the right wing threw at him, including the impeachment. Now, all those discredited right wing attacks on Clinton are fair game, because Donald is running for President?
Cohen says it doesn't count now because Trump was trying to be a good friend, is all.
See, so simple.
Cohen spoke to Chris Cuomo on CNN's News Day earlier this morning and twisted into a pretzel to make Trump look like something OTHER than a total hypocrite:
"He was a private citizen who was friendly with the Clintons, and he was trying to protect a friend, all right? Now, it's a different game. It's 2016. He's the presidential..."
Cuomo wasn't buying. "So he was lying, then?"
"He was not lying. He was protecting a friend. There's a difference."
This is freaking incoherent. Trump lied to protect a friend in the 90's, but that doesn't go to Trump's overall character, because now he's running for the presidency and he's speaking the truth?
Cuomo didn't back down.
CUOMO: What is the difference?
COHEN: He was being a true friend. It didn't matter to him.
CUOMO: So he would be friends with a guy that he thought was a piece of crap basically?
