Who is Chris Stewart? How do you make the leap from accurately describing Donald Trump as “our Mussolini” — the only really smart thing he’s ever said — to surrendering totally to that same man utterly devoid of moral compass?
My jaw dropped when I read that Stewart agrees with Trump, that there’s nothing wrong with taking “dirt” from agents of foreign governments.
He tried to make it sound somehow sensible by bringing up the Steele dosier, claiming Hillary Clinton was responsible for the file’s existence, conveniently forgetting/ignoring it came into being when Christopher Steele was hired by a Republican presidential candidate to gather information about Donald Trump.
When that candidate dropped out of the race, the dossier was out there waiting to be picked up.
Steele, who is British, was not a “foreign agent,” in that he was not working for a foreign government. He was working for a U.S. Republican.
So here is Stewart, on the one hand blaming Clinton for doing something nefarious, while on the other hand he is saying it is all right to do it — as long as you are a Republican and/or Donald Trump.
What kind of idiotic doublethink is that?
