Former NBC sports anchor Bob Costas appeared on CNN's “Smerconish” early Saturday attacking President Trump and millions of his supporters.
He said Trump's supporters were a “toxic cult” and claimed that Trump himself was “the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history.”
He also expressed his disapproval of Joe Biden running for re-election solely out of fear that Trump would win the election against him for being weak.
Fox News reported:
Former NBC Sports anchor Bob Costas criticized former President Trump during a recent television appearance, calling him “the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history.”
The journalist appeared on CNN's “Smerconish” show on Saturday morning, where he attacked Trump and his supporters, whom he also called a “toxic cult.”
Additionally, Trump harshly rebuked President Biden for running for office again, claiming that Biden risks plunging the country into the “craziness” of the Trump era by not stepping aside and allowing someone stronger to run against the 45th president.
“I come at this from a position of not wanting to see Trump elected. You should mention that at the beginning. Real?” Michael Smerconish asked Costas.
“Yes, absolutely. He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. He has become more disgraceful since 2016 and since 2020. He is a boiling cauldron of unsavory qualities. You would have to be under the crosshairs of some kind of toxic delusion in a toxic cult to believe “Donald Trump was in no way emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or morally qualified to be President of the United States.”
He watches:
Costas had made comments about Biden and how he might be viewed if he stepped down from running for a second term.
He had the opportunity to be seen as a statesman and patriot. Now, his legacy is likely to be that of a man whose arrogance prevented him from seizing the moment appropriately and, at best, who could shout at Trump — that is, at best.
Costas cited Biden as weak and implied that another candidate should run against Trump.
He continued to insult President Trump by calling him a “monster.”
“Trump is a monster. You shouldn't be sending this guy out there at this point in his life to try to kill a dragon, Fox News reported.
This is not surprising behavior on the part of the left given that President Trump leads in the latest HarrisX poll by 9 points over Biden.
