Castellanos: The Way the Trump W.H. Did the Firing of Comey Was ‘Erratic’

‘Democrats, perhaps, shouldn’t have been making as effective a case for firing James Comey as they have for the past few months’

EXCERPT:

STEPHANOPOULOS: "And we have some new polling, Alex Castellanos, out this morning from NBC and “The Wall Street Journal” showing that 29 percent approve of the president’s decision, of those who know a lot about it, 53 percent disapprove. The president’s overall approval rating still at 39 percent. You’ve supported the president. how do his voters view all this from outside of Washington?"

CASTELLANOS: "Well, I think they see this is the Washington that they hate, the phony outrage industry in full force. Democrats, perhaps, shouldn’t have been making as effective a case for firing James Comey as they have for the past few months or admitted that Hillary Clinton would have fired James Comey if she had been elected, if they’re going to be outraged that he’s fired now And I think a lot of Trump voters look at Washington and say this — these people are all over the map. They serve themselves, not us. And this is the Washington they hate. And who’s their anti-Washington hero Donald Trump."
