Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Monday that he would vote for a Muslim — if he agreed with the candidate’s political values.
Fox host Greta Van Susteren for Trump’s thoughts on GOP rival Ben Carson’s comment that he does not think a Muslim should be President.
Trump defended Carson.
“Well, I have a lot of respect for Ben Carson and I like him a lot. And we have had a very good relationship,” Trump said.
But after some back and forth, Van Susteren asked Trump explicitly if he would vote for a Muslim — if Trump agreed with the candidate’s policies.
“They would have to go through the long, hard process. It’s a long, tough road, Greta, I can tell you, and it really is very revealing,” Trump said. “And I would have no problem with it, no.”
So TPM, I have a question for you:
Do you sit there and watch Trump interviews and news conferences with your laptops in front of you, ready to make a separate click-baitable article for every specific comment he makes? I mean, instead of just waiting for the end and summarizing his remarks…
“Trump defended Carson.”
Very bad move Donnie.
Isn’t that the truth? I have been bitching about this for weeks. Every sentence he utters TPM publishes.
The three most recent LiveWire articles are all about Trump, all from the interview he’s apparently currently giving to Greta Van Susteren. Seriously, the interview couldn’t have been that long. Why couldn’t they wait for the end of the interview and just make one article about him? I know I’m not a high-ranking journalist or politico, but I’m pretty confident that there is actual political or current event news out there that could fill those other two article spots. May take some effort to write those articles, though. Just sayin’…
I wonder how the fellow who asked Trump that series of questions last week feels now about the Donald?
