ABC and NPR reporter Cokie Roberts doesn’t think much of Donald Trump supporters – and her bias is on full display in her reporting.
The GOP presidential candidate wants a moratorium on refugees brought in from countries that export terrorism. He wants those who do come to the U.S. to be subject to “extreme vetting” – although he hasn’t been specific on what that is.
That, according to reporter Cokie Roberts, is racist – and she told Joe Scarborough on MSNBC that those who support him are racist as well.
Roberts: “They’re morally tainted. There’s just no question about that. You can’t say He’s a racist and what he said was textbook racism, but I support him because he’s the nominee of my party.”
The bias is evidently so clear that NPR has rebranded Roberts as a “commentator,” since it doesn’t want its reporters taking sides in a political race.
According to Dan Gainor of Media Research Center, Roberts is using a classic leftist smear. “They use pretty much four code words to describe people who they disagree with on the right or to the right of center: crazy, stupid, evil, or racist,” he explains.
But Roberts and Scarborough weren’t done.
Scarborough: “Have you ever seen anything like this where you have a candidate so morally tainted that people are calling him a racist and they’re calling him a con man, at the same time they’re saying We embrace him?”
Roberts: “Nobody’s ever seen anything like this.”
Gainor says Roberts, who’s from the South, apparently can’t remember politicians like segregationist Alabama Governor George Wallace and West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd – a former member of the KKK. Then again, both Wallace and Byrd were Democrats.
Morally Tainted?
This judgment comes from the people that have made abortion a holy sacrament.
This judgment comes from the people that value violent criminals more than the police.
This judgment comes from the people that hate the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.
These people embrace evil and depise what is good.
Their pride shall lead to their fall.
Better to be morally tainted like a Conservative,,,meaning being tainted with morality, than immorally tainted meaning tainted with immorality like a Liberal. Racism is when your policies destroy the very Black communities they propose to serve, but in true liberal fashion only end up serving the needs of the Socialist Leaders in power and in money. Time for a new definition of morality,,,actually the old one used to work rather well before Obama/Hillary and crew FUNdeMENTALLY redefined it. Cooky Roberts has drunk the Liberal cool-aid of establishment privilege far too long, and is so wedded to its socialism that she no longer has eyes to see clearly or ears to hear. She has become a liberal mouthpiece every bit as dangerous to America as Lewinsky’s was to Bill. She in her columns attempts to services her party, but this time it is WE THE PEOPLE who are getting corrupted in the servicing.
We have tolerated vermin like this for far too long. We have allowed them to control the narrative in the name of free speech, only they speak a never-ending steam of lies and propaganda that is treated as fact by the media, and accepted as truth by the public. Sooner or later, these people must be made to answer for their part in helping to destroy our country.
“crazy, stupid, evil, or racist”
Gee, I wonder what they really mean. What will we learn when they get, “uncoded”?
This is the “Elite” in our society. they get the press coverage and every stupid person thinks that THEY know best. The truth is, they have no morals or ethics, at all (and I am not a religious person, but I do believe in the TEN COMMANDMENTS!) Hillary is a liar, a crook, could care less about the average American citizen, and in fact hasn’t a clue as to how most of us live.
VOTE TRUMP FOR A REAL AMERICAN WHO LOVES THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.
NPR, the spawning place of Juan Williams, Lamar Hunt and Kookie (Kook). And we, the Tainted have signed their pay checks…
Hey, Cokie, don’t call us when those nice Muslims kidnap and rape you for days. Or when they bomb your favorite club or airport.
No, Kooki, I support Trump because he is trying to bring our Country back to normalcy after 7 years of racism, regulations, unconstitutional executive orders, lawlessness, spending, giving our country away, making enemies of allies and allies of enemies, and morally bankrupting our children with liberal left extreme progressive ideas. I want to leave this life knowing my grandchild is safe in her own home and country. These leftwing nuts have been indoctrinated from our public schools as children and taking God out of our Country and lives. Giving into the “you owe me” mentality of the Obama administration has broken the spirit of this Country and the American people. The American people built this country up and Obama wants to hand it over the Muslims and illegals to tear down. They do not know our language and will not assimilate to our culture. They expect us to bow down to their ways. Haven’t we paid enough of our taxpaying dollars to corruption?
Let’s not forget that This judgment comes from the people demand that little boy and little girls to use the same restroom and dressing rooms.
This judgment comes from the people who approve of and support sexual perversions.
This judgment comes from the people who if you do not agree with will attempt to destroy you.
Why would anyone call that old maggot a reporter? She’s the north end of a southbound skunk.
Amen to this astute commentator who stated all the evils of being a liberal progressive Democrat. The Democratic party is made up of more pathological liars than any psychiatrist sees in his/her office in a year & they’re ruining what was once the greatest Nation on this Planet Earth. If I had to vote for a Democrat I would never vote again. This is definitely not JFK’s Democratic Party, but with the help & blessings of GOD ALMIGHTY, Donald Trump will do his best to set the U.S. of America on a path of righteousness once again. GOD BLESS AMERICA
Agreed, godgivenrights.
Because she’s a liberal, Cokie’s view of morality is relative and can only apply to herself alone. Everyone should (and probably will) ignore what she feels because it’s irrelevant.
God’s moral laws are absolute. Even if you disagree with them, they still apply to you. These laws of morality are universally relevant.
By definition, an absolute moral code is at least 8 billion* times more relevant than anyone’s personal relative moral codes. Cokie might as well be expressing her fondness for jazz over country music.
* 8 billion being the approximate number of people on Earth.
I get very tired of these opinionated we don’t really give a crap what you think “Kookie”. Why don’t you put your head where the sun doesn’t shine and sit on it? The same goes for Scarborogh.
MSM is the one group that is morally tainted. Not Trump supporters.
If anything in this election is morally tainted, its how Hillary seems to get away with ANY Criminal act, while the lame stream media bashes trump for saying what millions of US Citizens feel is going on…
And if being racist is what it is to be a trump supporter, then so be it.. I am racist!
This from someone whose candidate is a Career Criminal being investigated for a multitude of crimes crimes which I feel certain she will be made to pay for, unless she’s elected to the White House. If she, through packing the states which support her with immigrants who are now made citizens when the land here by Obama, who is also a guilty of crimes against both the Constitution and the people of America, is elected America is doomed.
This unholy pair can’t allow Trump to be elected for fear they will be prosecuted and have to answer for the multitude of crimes which they have committed during Obama’s tenure.
I have said for many years that what one is eventually shows in their faces. Look at the faces of those aforementioned, including Roberts and see if you disagree with me.
Well, Roberts, at least they have morals left to become tainted. as compared to the Demon-cr5ps who never had any to start with….
[Well, Roberts, at least they have morals left to become tainted. as compared to the Demon-cr5ps who never had any to start with….]
Too true sarge. Too True.
And Cokie can’t see that Clinton is a Liar/ corrupt/and an enabler for her husbands sexual favors, while lining her pockets at Foundation with foreign favors for money- is she that naive
And Slick Willie says that AFTER that wife of his gets elected, The Clinton Money Laundry won’t take any more foreign money!!!!! How Nice of them
I am amazed how they ca see over corruption and liars!!!
She is not naive, she is a liberal Democrat, who believe only what they WANT to believe. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Exactly, disqus. For someone to embrace Hillary something must be mentally wrong with them. Because of the lies, the corruption, the contempt for America, the voter fraud, the ineptitude, and the complete and total lack of any positive accomplishments in the last 30 years of public life.
There are valid reasons to be repulsed by Clinton.
Cokie has no valid reasons to despise Trump supporters. It’s just the typical liberal knee-jerk ad hominem attack against whatever they can control. Instead of arguing against any particular positions (which she can’t) she has to attack the people who understand and accept his positions, in a pathetic attempt to discredit them/us.
Of course Cokie can see it. It just doesn’t matter, because Hillary is a Democrat. Every adjective liberals like her use to describe Trump does a great job of describing Hillary, and in many cases fit Hillary better. There are also some that fit her and not him. Con artist, grifter and extortionist come to mind (Clinton Foundation). They just don’t care.
Yes, isn’t it great that they won’t admit what they’re doing is wrong, but if elected they promise not to do it again! … Right. … Kind of like, “Vote for me and I’ll stop robbing banks.” Why would anyone even believe that? Or anything the Clintons say?
Too true Dove. Anything dems do, is given a pass, cause they are like minded liberal dunces. Anything the right does though is wrong/bad…
These people give dunces a bad name.
usaf, that is just a delaying tactic. They figure by the time the election is over and they get inaugurated, people will have forgotten about their Foundation, and it will be safe to go back to “business as usual–selling government influence to the highest bidder.”
Well, we feel that the people that voted for Obama, especially the second time, are more than morally taineted !!
And that is really the heart of the issue right there. We have tens of MILLIONS of people in this country–far from the majority that they think they are–who willingly and happily voted for Obama (twice), and now willingly and happily vote for a treasonous criminal who will continue Obama’s legacy of dismantling this country in the name of fairness, political-correctness, and progressivism. So how do we fix that? How do we answer the problem of tens of millions of people who, basically, should not be allowed to vote?
I wouldn’t call them morally tainted.. IMO they are morally deficient.
So,NPR’s Roberts thinks Trump supporters ‘morally tainted’. The last time I checked, NPR is a highly partisan news organization funded by tax dollars. For Roberts to be associated with such an organization suggests that she, in fact, could be accused of being “morally tainted”. But then, of course, everything lefties do is,in their estimation,pure as the wind driven snow. So there you have it.
She is de-ranged !! Does she not for a second think IF the Countries who are, as we write, being ruined would have like to have the opportunity to “vett” who the heck they get in. Trump is definitely correct on this one.
Now off course they are not moving into her neighborhood so if she steps up to make them all welcome sharing her community then she will rush to a different opinion in a hurry, and NOT feel tainted about it. The irony is baffling!
GET the MESS fixed which was started by…we all know who and then they can all stay where they like to be and that’s where all the Mosques are. The others are making themselves ready to take over the World. Don’t be “soft hearted nor blind” and the people who really needs help are the ones who are stuck where ISIS roams and don’t have the $ 500K to pay the Khan family in order to emigrate! Go Trump.
Maybe that is why the network downgraded her from a reporter, to a commentator, so they don’t get seen as fully biased.
BUT that is just a smoke screen and they know it.
If you mean taking back the country from the progressive liberal demoncRATs, then yes. It’s funny to hear the PC liberals talking about moral!!! I don’t think she even know what “moral” means…
cokehead roberts wouldn’t know a moral principle from a morrell mushroom.
As if Mrs. Roberts or he really cool husband Steve have any moral authority whatsoever to cast aspersions toward others! Give me a break. It’s funny how Mr. Trump has these fools just so tweaked up.
It’s the standard way of the left though.
They can’t counter the arguments Trump brings up, since facts HURT, so they attack those who say the arguments (and those who support said speaker)..
“Morally tainted” says the woman obviously representing a party which has abortion (innocently named “pro-choice”) as one of its main pillars.
Note to Cokie “you’ll pardon me if I ignore your ignorance. Oh, and if you don’t pardon me, no biggie, I’ve been ignoring what you’ve said for the last two decades.”
Ah, we have FINALLY heard from Saint Cokie of NPR. I tremble in fear of her holy wrath!
Prior to this article, i never even heard of this sawdust filled brainless witch..
Madness from the left? Shocking.
Then I must be proud to be a racist.
Vetting immigrants is racist? If I tried to enter Cokie’s office I would be vetted at the door and had better prove who I am and why I want to enter. Cokie a hypocrite.
@iwhancock
EXTREMELY WELL SAID!!!!!!!
Heck you would get vetted GOING IN the front door of the building itself. Let alone getting to her office without being checked…
It is still beyond me where all these libtard blathering buttheads think that every loser on the planet has some kind of RIGHT to come into this country unimpeded!!
Taxed. I have asked that question of liberals time and time again. Never gotten an answer that wasn’t “Well its a human right isn’t it to be able to live where you wanna”..
There is nothing to worry about here. It’s merely lunacy that is originating in a mind that is crippled by Liberalism, and being spoken by a mouth that is incapable of conveying truth.
Libs like Roberts have no concept of the president’s duty under the Constitution. The president is bound and authorized by the Constitution to protect American lives.
With rich people like Cokie with ties to the ruling special interests, Americans come last.
Heck, more than likely she is a fellow globalist like Soros..
Cokies hasn’t looked at a calendar lately. The date is 2016. The world has turned but Cokie has not. People are fed up with their moralizing.
Spoken by someone who isn’t exposed to illegals or dangerous criminals who rob, rape, carjack, bomb, or commit mass murder. The elites live in their private, protected enclaves and don’t have to worry about themselves or their families being harmed or killed. ISIS has said they will infiltrate among “refugees” as they have already done in France, Germany, Sweden, Indonesia, and the USA(San Bernadino). Democrats think morality means unlimited abortion, no limits on sexuality, even perversion, lying, anarchy, bribery, in other words, what used to be considered immorality. They don’t know the meaning of morality because they have banished God, who gives us our conscience.
If being “morally tainted” means opposing the take over of my country by the global New World Order count me as one of the most “tainted” in the group. If being “morally tainted” means supporting the Constitution of the United States over the dictates of those who would trash it, again count me at the front of the pack. Bottom line is, sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. Wake up fellow Americans because there is a War coming like none we have ever seen. It will be for survival of our nation. Each of us will have to choose a side. Will we join the herd of sheep, following the Democrats and the New World Order, or will we stand and fight, as our forefathers once did. Better start thinking, what will you do and prepare for it. Semper Fidelis to my country.
Preach it.. I proudly wave my hand, saying “If being prideful and supportive of OUR OWN Country first is being morally tainted, then sign me up for the news letter!”
cuckoo roberts:
Slang. a crazy, silly, or foolish person; simpleton.
None of the definition below relate to Trumps views on the issues she claims. But definition below her name does relate to her.
Simple Definition of moral
: concerning or relating to what is right and wrong in human behavior
: based on what you think is right and good
: considered right and good by most people : agreeing with a standard of right behavior
Simple Definition of racism
: poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race
: the belief that some races of people are better than others
Correction. The definition of morals is for her as she has none.Usually the one who yells racist is one themselves and just trying to hide it by blaming others.
How childish she is.
Why is it that conservatives always seem to take the moral high road and Liberals always the gutter? No conservatives went to Clinton, Sanders rally’s and cause a riot, but liberals have, and paid people to do it. Yet Roberts think conservatives that support Trump are tainted. Talk about being a moron and corrupt person, and she has a very long political commentating life! Shows you why this country is fast becoming a third rate nation and why we have the problems we have. Opposing views are good, but these people are just plain evil in the things they say. So I guess the 15 million or so people that voted for Trump are tainted. She should take a real honest good look in the mirror and see the person looking back. As a matter of fact, so should everyone!
The pinnacle of absurdity.
Please forgive me if I don’t take advice on “morality” from a secular humanist, who supports a political party constantly trying to REDEFINE our values under the banner of “political correctness”, which, is basically an invented term provided to throw at anyone who has the temerity to disagree with them.
The very first obligation of government from the beginning of recorded history is to protect it’s citizens. If limiting or attempting to limit dangerous people into this country from countries known to export terrorism is “racist”, then I must be.
Please spare me moralizing from a woman supporting a candidate who regularly lies to us, and the authorities, who uses her position to solicit money from governments hostile to us, and is so narcissistic as to believe that the rules (Laws)that apply to us commoners do not apply to her.
As a rule, her party has done absolutely nothing for the so called less fortunate except to make them dependent, ruin the “moral” structure of the family by paying women to breed and not marry, and then turn around and promote so called values that allow them to destroy unborn children.
I don’t even want to get into promoting aberrant sexuality. Don’t get me wrong, I could care less how people behave in private as long as they hurt no one but themselves, but, I resent being proselytized to, that, this is a life style I or my children should embrace.
Perhaps Ms. Roberts should do a little soul searching herself before attempting to pontificate about what is or is not moral. I for one find her parties political position absolutely immoral under the so called banner of Progressivism, which is actually an excuse to engage in behavior or policy without boundaries
It is clear that they are preparing to clamp down on speech as soon as the crooked murderous ball buster is in power. Anyone who does not think that Trump supporters are not going to be rounded up by the fanatical adherents of the first allegedly female president, if they are not simply killed by refujihadis or the street army of Bloods and Crips, Black Muslims and violent felons that the regime has intentionally released from prisons, will not be ready when the leather-clad liar from Lesbos seizes one pretext or another and goes full Indira Gandhi on us. If we cannot defeat the Obammunists we will eventually have to fight them or flee them.
Cokie Roberts is kookie. She is suffering from dementia, from which most leftists and Democrats are suffering.
That we should protect ourselves and our young boys and girls and women from Muslim rapeugees that are predators in Germany, France, and throughout Europe now, along with Muslim terrorists, which we have already experienced in this country far too much… Cokie Roberts and all her ilk are idiots.
For all patriots who fought for this country and for all patriots who love this country….Vote Trump 2016!
Hey cooky Cokie, you better read the immigration law……..people CAN be denied entrance…….so it does NOT make anyone a racist! You are showing how dumb you are about our laws……..and too old to comment on anyone…….only worry about your own dementia.
Maybe she is one of those who feels those laws are in need of being liberally corrected…
Why is this news? Look at the ratings; no one even watches ABC, or listens to NPR. These people are just operatives for the KGB’s disinformation machine.
If my being a Conservative American makes me “Morally Tainted” Sign me up!
If by loving the United States of America makes me “Morally Tainted” Sign me up!
If believing the United States Constitution is worth PRESERVING, PROTECTING and DEFENDING, makes me “MORALLY TAINTED” sign me the hell up!
If opposing a person, I know is a pathological liar, a criminal and has endangered America and her people makes me “MORALLY TAINTED” Sign me the hell up.
If making my decision on whom I will vote for is based on reality and not hysterical gender identity politics, makes me “Morally Tainted”, by all means sign me up.
Cokey Roberts is a man hater, a misogynist, an Anti-American, godless, Stalinist mouth piece for the socialist democ-RAT propaganda wing of the socialist democ-RAT party.
She is a hypocrite. Her judgement is based on hysteria and not fact. And NPR has proven once again, they are part of the propaganda wing of the socialist democ-RAT party. They have no credibility
As i said to Lptar.. PREACH it brotha…
