Most disgraceful figure
Sportscaster Bob Costas has strongly criticized former President Donald Trump and his supporters. During a CNN segment, Costas referred to Trump as “the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history.”
Costas said
Costas said that to believe Trump was fit for the presidency, “you have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion, in a toxic cult.”
Disgraceful figure
CNN’s Michael Smerconish questioned Costas as to whether he is still opposed to Trump. Costas responded, “Yes, absolutely. He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history.”
Toxic delusion
“You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion, in a toxic cult, to believe that Donald Trump has ever been in any sense emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be President of the United States,” Costas said.
‘Cultists’
Costas has repeatedly labeled Trump’s 74 million voters as “cultists.” He criticized Fox News and the “MAGA media” for brushing aside criticisms of Trump.
No cult of Joe Biden
“But his supporters are locked in on that. There is no cult of Joe Biden. They are devoted to him, hopelessly, devoted as an old-song lyric went. And yet, what is his level of devotion to anyone who is not 100% loyal to him? Exhibit A, Mike Pence,” Costas said in 2021.
‘we’re true American patriots’
“They call themselves patriots, ‘we’re true American patriots.’ Who tried to overthrow the election? Who tried? It’s on tape. The phone call to election officials in Georgia and everywhere. All these things that are preposterous, on their face. And yet, if you are a member of a cult, you’re down the line with that cult,” Costas added.
The MAGA cult
“The MAGA cult, which is a coalition of the brainless and when it comes to fellow Republicans, the spineless, that coalition is not going away,” Costas said in early 2024.
A dramatic rematch
