On Monday, Daily Kos released a faux-serious “In Memoriam” video highlighting some of the more elaborate verbal defenses Trump surrogates have used this campaign season when they were asked to defend Trump’s rhetoric.
The video features surrogates Kayleigh McEnany, Marco Gutierrez, Jeffrey Lord, Katrina Pierson, Rudy Giuliani, Betsy McCaughey, Scottie Nell Hughes, Newt Gingrich, Michael Cohen and Ben Carson.

And the best part is that none of these people will ever see a dime from Trump.
Main qualification for Trump surrogate: The ability to keep a straight face while playing straight man (or woman) in a comedic skit.
Edit- I wonder if Goebbels was a Hitler Surrogate before he became the Reich Minister of Propaganda?
This from Andrew Sullivan, Republican, in New York Magazine sums it up nicely:
“The most frustrating aspect of the last 12 months has been the notion that we have been in a normal, if truly ugly, election cycle, with one extremely colorful and unpredictable figure leading the Republican Party in an otherwise conventional political struggle over policy. It has been clear for months now, it seems to me, that this is a delusion. A far more accurate account of the past year is that an openly proto-fascist cult leader has emerged to forge a popular movement that has taken over one of the major political parties, eroded central norms of democratic life, undermined American democratic institutions, and now stands on the brink of seizing power in Washington. I made this argument at length in April, when Donald Trump was on the brink of securing the nomination. Everything that has happened since has only made my fears more pressing.”
These “vacant and soulless” paid suck ups are easily forgotten… if they avoid the public arena.
Be that as it may… it will be amusing to remind them of the stupidity of their actions occasionally
Ana Navarro’s face in all of these is priceless
Nice. The BEST part is they didn’t feature Kellyanne…she is the one I am REALLY sick of.
