Trump’s New Ukraine Scandal Defense: Rick Perry Made Me Do It | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

Facing a second whistleblower with “firsthand” information on Trump’s Ukraine plot, Trump is shifting his claims on the scandal. Axios reports Trump told Republicans he ‘did not want to’ call Ukraine, but did it because ‘Rick [Perry] asked him to.’ Legal expert Maya Wiley argues there is “deep concern” for Trump, because he is using his “public statements” to cast “blame on someone else.” Aired on 10/7/19.

    1. @J Bell hahahaha are you triggered snowflake…here shaking your fist in defence of a man who couldnt give a flying f@#k about you…

    2. Bullies are almost always cowards. Imagine now, the Commander in Chief of United States Armed Forces, is a coward. Humiliating, and scary if you’re in the armed forces.

    1. Susan Galea So does the VP, the SecEduc, SenMajLdr, SecTransp (she’s just playing along), most of the cabinet, half of Congress, RWNJs, evilangelicals, trumpanzees, fundaMentals…

    1. Calling me MAGAtrash doesn’t really bother me, but it does bother other people. I just don’t understand the reason for all of this. Look at the polls, people that call Trump Supporters trash are the minority. I respect your opinions, but I don’t respect the way you convey them.

  1. The old Rex Tillerson argument. First it was Tillerson, so Trump threw him under the bus. Now it’s Rick Perry. Next it will be Mike Pence, just watch. Trump will throw anyone under the bus if it serves his purposes. Trump has ZERO loyalty to anyone, but expects everyone to commit crimes on his behalf. He got caught, now he’s flailing.

  2. Who’s the next Republican to be blamed for a criminal political scandal that Trump says doesn’t exist?

    1. Ralph Boyd Nobody has picked on Ben Carson, yet. Of course, he’s been asleep at his desk for the last14 months…

  3. “It was a perfect call. There was nothing inappropriate about the call. And, Rick Perry made me do it”.
    Oh yea, not suspicious at all.

    1. @Blayze Is Still My Name Trump supporters have been getting trolled by Trump since the moment that he came down that gaudy escalator because he doesn’t have enough balance to walk down a flight of stairs without holding someone’s hand.

    2. The Democrats are still butt hurt from losing it is so sad and the mainstream news keeps lying to you and you believed it all not because you’re dumb it’s because your hatred for the man is so great you want what they’re telling you to be the truth

  4. It never ends with Little Donny Fail-Fail, does it MAGAtrash? He is *_constantly_* in the center of criminality, degradation, perversion, dishonor and failure.

    1. @caviler123 well next time you talk to someone like me “who is making it obnoxiously apparent that im trying to not hurl insults at each other” you should tone down animosity and try a different style of communication, because your last message made you sound just as angry as the people you are claiming to be against. the media has got their way by pitting 2 sides against each other to the point where people are starting the agree with others when they talk about civil war and i think thats disgusting. the last thing this country needs is a war and people who wish for that has clearly never been involved first hand in one

    2. @adam guy look up trump’s policies on gun control. I know that it is important to you but I would think being able to breathe without a gas mask and having clean drinking water would be more important. After all, you cant fire a gun if you are dead or too sick to hold it. Check out his policies on environmental regulations too.

    3. @blackwidow na i have looked up and read the gun changes and not much has happened(biggest change is banning bump stalks) which if you know anything about guns thats a joke because i can recreate the same actions with a piece of string and a belt loop. so you will have to be more specific on what you think he changed to get me to agree or disagree with.
      as far as the environmental status: this is completely separate from gun issues so claiming i need to drink and breathe is more important: well obviously but you cant compare the subjects in my eyes
      i will admit i have limited knowledge as far as the environmental subject but from what little i do know, there are completely opposing views both claiming completely opposite facts so i would have to study that topic before i could give my opinion

    4. @blackwidow na he has a lot of videos give me one and ill listen to it
      id suggest you to listen to the “change my mind” series from steven crowder before youtube bans him ha

    1. @Ron Graff makes you wonder??? Well the supper rich certainly wouldn’t have gotten their undeserved huge tax cuts….the jobs would have been about the same or better….and there would have been price decreases in healthcare and prescription drugs…instead of hearing this from trump ” who thought healthcare would be so hard?? ” remember that…and you certainly wouldn’t be the laughing stock of the planet!!!

    2. Sask Sun seekers
      All I know is the commander and chief said
      “Civil War” 🤥😂🦜🤣🦜🤪🦜🤩🦜🥳🦜
      The parrots are singing 🇺🇸✌️🇺🇸✌️🇺🇸✌️🇺🇸✌️

  5. Wait, let me get this straight: _after_ he called on China to do the same thing, he now claims his big brother Rick Perry _made_ him raid the cookie jar? Consistency was never this fool’s strong suit.

    1. truerealityscott you’re mad… spades are symbols of death and you’re smug about it… possible car accident (very sorry for “your” loss)… happy dad with child?

    2. I liked Jim Jordan’s response to the China request, “The president was only joking!”
      For him to say that, he must think Americans are the most gullible stupid people on the planet.

  6. “If you call him a traitor, ain’t nothin to it, Rick Perry made him do it” …lol 🙂

    1. 😂😂😂🤷‍♂️..right let’s not leave Obama out of this and next week include Hillary😂😂🤷‍♂️
