CBS' Robert Costa Frets Over No GOP Reckoning For Trump On… Immigration???

A Face the Nation segment on former President Donald Trump’s remarks at the Black Conservative Federation gala in South Carolina led into a bizarre take by Robert Costa lamenting the lack of a GOP reckoning for Trump on immigration, of all things. Perhaps, at this point, we should reconsider naming the program “Faceplant the Nation”. Watch the segment, as aired on CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday, February 25th, 2024: A reckoning for Trump on immigration? What is this, Univision? What’s Costa even talking about? Polling suggests that this issue, especially in this environment, is among Trump’s strongest. Inasmuch as there will be a reckoning, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be for Trump. Not in this political environment, not with this current border crisis raging the way it is.

The segment seems to serve little purpose beyond trying to build a permission structure upon which Nikki Haley continues her presidential campaign beyond South Carolina. And it was weird to see that mashed up with Trump’s comments at Friday’s event. It is as if the allegedly wronged black conservatives were little more than props with which to advance the pro-Haley talking points. As of this writing, the Koch network has announced it is no longer spending on the GOP primary. The segment is quickly aging, and not at all well.
