Trump Now Blasting Birx After Her She Frequently Defended Him | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
like you didnt see this coming. its just a matter of time before staff members get tossed under the Trump KKK tour bus tires. this is what happens when you become part of a Mob syndicate. these people want your loyalty but have no idea how to give it in turn. they play both sides of the fence. if the circumstance doesnt work for them, they turn against you.
i thought the same thing
Grassley too little too late. Where were you when Trump should of been impeached convicted and removed months ago.
Grassley was the fool who gave a 15 minute speech defending trump during impeachment as you said too little too late
@Scott Dougherty he was also the one who said the democrats did a great job in making their case and there’s no doubt he did it, but it didn’t rise to the level of removing him. That’s when I knew Grassley was in it to save his own party and screw the people.
@PKay Gray You have just described every Republican of the past 60 years.
Way late. He was Tok busy blowing Moscow mitch to care about doing the right thing. Lincoln Project said they’d all eventually turn on cheetolini like they had no choice
-should of been- WAS AND STILL IS impeached
Dr Birx should resign and tell the truth about this incompetent virus in the WH.
Agreed. Just 2 months ago…
@Civil Villain She’s done a lot of damage and should never have bowed to that monster
@mothgirlwings
I’m also a physician, and there’s been at least half a dozen times in the physician’s cafeteria where the news is playing on the TV, and every doctor in the room (masked and socially distant) is literally yelling at the TV like she can hear us.
It’s one thing to try not to panic people, it’s an entirely different thing to coddle a political child and knowingly (and she knows what she’s doing, you saw it when her conscience made a brief appearance) spread disinformation, further dividing an already divided public.
Civil Villain This can not go for four more years
Part of her wants the job, part of her conscience doesn’t want the job.
Anyone who doesn’t speak out against Trump they are enablers
You might forget the words of your enemies but not the silence of your friends.
Trump is the chosen one. Hes shinning the light on the evil America. His supporters will ride with him until he changes his mind and become Democrats again. Sean hannity and tucker Carson will continue leading them after trump is done .no need to argue with them
What about this who remain silent because the Cult of MAGA is threatening their loved ones?
Trump 2020! Keep the left extremist predators away from our kids!
Google User funny coming from the guy whose party leader was friends with Epstein
All four countries with the highest COVID cases have right-wing, nationalistic, leaders who espouse anti-science ideas.
185/195 governments have populations with lower per capita covid death rate than Trump’s. He has totally mismanaged this crisis.
laksh nayyar sounds like a pattern
America, russia, brazil….who’s the fourth

@hhiippiittyy
Thank u
When you dance with the Devil, expect to get burned.
Or at least take Tango lessons first.
Saw this coming a long time ago. She made her bed, now she has to lay in it. Only trust Dr. Fauci.
@Mark M. 👍 Exactly. Saw it the very first moment she defended him. All the disgrace she did it to herself.
@s.l. Leung Yes, it’s sad to see someone as seemingly intelligent and experienced as Dr. Birx be drawn in and become the tool of a dark, evil, politically motivated psychopath. Her 40 year career will be defined by this; whereas Dr. Fauci’s legacy will live on in deep respect, admiration and trust.
Trump won’t tolerate honesty and truth within his administration. He’s trying to run a criminal enterprise, not a legit presidency.
@Tingle Matthews No, the last email I got was from the Lincoln Project. They reminded me that trump was like a rabid dog and like a rabid dog, he’d turn on his owner! And that’s you, me, and every other American!
@BartJ583 don’t forget… You need proof trump knew about Russian bounties on American soldiers and did NOTHING
@Fran Simms
Trump was told about that.
J Oh I give you about 10 years before you realize you’ve been suckered… since it’s happening very clearly right on your face right now and you still calling other people blind
@Tingle Matthews how’s the rabid dog doing today. Is he foaming at the mouth? He’s probably kicking back watching the Bugs Bunny Cartoon hour and learning all about Yosemite Sam!
Everything drumpf touches dies. She let him touch her, thinking it would somehow be to her benefit. I have zero pity for her
I hate to think exactly where he touched her based on his past record….
@Wigg Picker 😂😈
Dr. Birx is learning the lesson the hard way: never trust a psychopath.
EXACTLY.
trump “that hoe ain’t loyal”
@Steve K if you do lie for him he’ll stab you in the back
@Tingle Matthews His tweet (“… In order to counter Nancy, Deborah took the bait & hit us. Pathetic!”) is fake news 🤔? 👍
@Gallian Tech ….. Trump didn’t call Dr. Birx pathetic. He called the situation pathetic. The situation was created by the evil manipulative witch Nancy Pelosi. But you are free to make up any fake news you like which is like breathing for you leftists.
Trump has no loyalty to anyone yet he demands loyalty from everyone. What a disgusting human being.
@MrPurpleHoops – Logan
MARS?

@MrPurpleHoops – Logan
NO….BUT WE COULD SEND HIM
THERE !! …FIRST MISSION FOR
SPACE FORCE ???….MAKE IT SO !!
@MrPurpleHoops – Logan
TRUMP IS MORE OF A MANETEE !
@J N , not even that: Putin manipulates him like a puppet because he knows how to switch his buttons, but I’m sure the macho KGB czar knows perfectly that the Fat Pumpkin would stab him in the back if he believed that that will better his ratings…
Who else demanded loyalty from others but showed none in return? Mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger, who was secretly an FBI snitch. And people know what happened to Bulger.
Scarf Lady Birx is not long for TrumpWorld. What did she expect?
If she keeps quiet for 3 days Trump will have no memory of the interview.
What’s the alternative strategy?
Only repeat the b.s. Donny wants -> she can’t help get vital health info to the general public.
Disagree with him or, “worse”, actually give out a correct answer -> she is out of that job and, again, can’t help get vital info to the general public
Fauci had the same dilemma and now has the gop wailing wall spinning nonsense about him.
When it comes to Birx – ya lie down a dog, you’re gonna get fleas.
She and Fauci should NEVER have supported Trump during a global pandemic. I blame them for kowtowing and not speaking straight. They coddled this man-baby like all the others who were eventually fired and wrote books. The smallest violin for ANY OF THOSE who intentionally climb into bed with this sleazy adminstration. All of them should speak truth. The GOP should be impeached for crimes against American democracy, our Constitution and our Rule of Law. I feel blue in the face for repeating this for four years. but 38% are still deaf.
He’s a tiny little man.
The only thing he’s an expert in is failing. Trump Airlines. Trump University. Trump Wine. Trump Water. Trump Steaks. Trump Casinos. Epic, dismal failures. Thank goodness daddy left him millions.
MSNBC producer quits says news have become cancer that just create division among people. Facts get too cumbersome, get buried and washed with politics.

He and his comrades are becoming proficient at destroying a democracy for a totalitarian friend called Putin.
Daddy’s Money is Long Gone.
This is Putin and the OLIGARCHS ‘ Money 💰
She needs to totally come clean and dump on him, they all do.

@fsf dsfa all of them, including fox and Sky. In fact, ban all after hours commentators dressed up as news, and the world would be a lot better place straight away.
@fsf dsfa Conflate much? Seriously pasting that in every comment doesn’t change the fact that Trump’s presidency has been an abject failure.
Surprise, surprise! Trump shows no loyalty? People don’t show loyalty to Trump out of being loyal. They show loyalty to Trump out of fear!
True
Or cynical opportunism.
Fear and money. He has to buy his loyalty
Trump’s mantra: My authority is total but I don’t take responsibility at all.
@J Do us all a favor and don’t have any children, we have enough idiots as it is. Your no doubt one of the sheep the listened to trump when he said “don’t believe what you see or hear”, so basically don’t believe in reality. Great job!
@Shaun M No I won’t . You lefies would force them to visit your island to spend a night with Bill.
@J I’m having a hard time believing you’re this dumb
@I am me sticknodes Belief is when you give your mind to MSNBC and CNN.. You can believe whatever you want – if you ever get stuck just go ask for your ped-o hero’s.
@J It’s truly sad how uninformed you are, Fox also talks about how horrible Trump is as well and they normally protect Reps, even his own party is turning on Trump, your so far into denial that your not even in reality anymore, you listened when Trump said “Don’t believe what you see or hear”, so basically don’t believe in reality. Even Trump himself said he could “Shoot someone” in public and wouldn’t lose any voters, the sad thing is its true. It’s not a “President” and his supporters anymore, its a Cult Leader and his Cult.
She has her collection of scarves to fall back on. Literally.
Pretty
She,s going to be remembered as the scarf dr..
This guy will turn on anybody. Thats what his supporters dont get
So true 💯💯 💯💯 💯
Welcome back Dr Birx now wash the orange off your face .
@robert smith too funny
As one analyst said today, “Donald Trump values loyalty, not expertise”.
🚨Remember Communist China 🇨🇳 gave the World 🌎 Chinese coronavirus. President Trump 🇺🇸 has done a great job in the United States working at fixing this nightmare. US citizens need to Boycott all China made products. That will send communist China leadership a message. 👎
And for the milionth time in the past 4 years, I find myself wondering why anyone would want to work for the OrangeCunt.
They’ve not even been disloyal. It’s just trump deflecting the blame again. He’s putting their lives in danger. He ONLY cares about himself and his bank balance. He doesn’t care about the 100,000’s of lives lost or what’s best for the country. I really don’t understand why he has so many followers. They must all be racists. That’s the only explanation I can come up with.
His loyalty is only ONE WAY, not mutual.
She compromised her integrity by not speaking up when he stood in her face and told people to inject disinfectant. He is a buffoon and a criminal. She did it to herself.
The SMALL MAN, the little president, is talking feces.
Respect your president punk
@hhhh9579 I’ll give Trump a bit more respect—he is talking excrement.
@Augie Rockero perhaps that’s why he has s problem pronouncing words his mouth is full of 💩
