Brzezinski: ‘Why Aren’t There Calls for Trump To Drop Out? Where Are They?’

BRZEZINSKI: “By the way, Biden likes to tell people don’t compare me to the Almighty, compare me to the alternative. So let’s take a quick moment to look at the current alternative, not a hypothetical imagined new Democratic candidate, the actual current alternative, who was across from Joe Biden at Thursday’s debate, Donald Trump. The man who incited a political coup against our government, and who indicates he will not accept the results of the 2024 election if he loses again. The convicted felon, who faces three more indictments. The man who is found liable for sexual assault, the man who was found liable for massive fraud. The man who brags about having ended a woman’s right to abortion health care, a decision that is killing women and babies and causing immeasurable and preventable agony for women across the country. The man whose tax proposals could cripple the economy, according to over a dozen Nobel Prize economists. The man who would end key global alliances. The man who has promised retribution against his perceived political enemies. The man who on a regular basis makes no sense at all. When he sounds crazy and slurs his words and talks about batteries and sharks, why aren’t there calls for Trump to drop out? Where are they? And ‘The Philadelphia Inquirer,’ their editorial board did take a stand writing, quote, ‘To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race.’ Well, there’s one. But where are the other editorial heads? Leaders who were so rocked the other night, who say Trump is so unfit that he should leave the race, where are they? Desensitized, disinformed. The firehose of falsehoods has blinded you to what’s right in front of you every day. Come on. Now, Joe, our Joe, is off this morning on a planned vacation on Friday show I should clarify Joe said it may be time for Biden to consider stepping aside. He also said we should wait a few days to see how he responds. We’re shoulder to shoulder on that. I do agree Joe Biden has work to do. He has to do better. His team has to do a lot better. I’m just not ready, though, to count Joe Biden out not even close. Just as Joe and I were stunned by the president’s poor performance on the debate stage, we’ve also been surprised by the level of animosity toward Donald Trump from people who once supported him. The debate acted as a wake-up call, that was a loss for Joe Biden, no question, but not a win for Trump. The choice is one terribly bad night versus a decade of destruction to our core beliefs, our democratic values and yes, our Constitution. Someone who stumbled over his words for 90 minutes, versus someone who would lie to the American people over and over again. A man slowed down by a cold versus a man with a cold, vile and merciless heart. I think in the days and weeks ahead as we move away from this debate, clarity will hopefully set in. For me, Joe Biden is still the man for this moment.”
