MSNBC’s Reid: Trump’s Tweet About Huma Abedin ‘Sounded Like Something from an Authoritarian Leader’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
REID: "Protests sweeping Iran enter their sixth day today. Largely in reaction to a poor economy, also to an authoritarian regime. At least 20 have been killed in clashes between protesters and the Iranian government. The president of the united States has taken notice tweeting, the people of Iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime, the people have little food, big inflation, and no human rights, the U.S. Is watching, exclamation point. Normally such statements from an American president would carry a certain moral force, but in this case the president making those statements is Donald Trump. Just about 30 minutes after urging Iranians to fight against the regime, Trump unleashed an attack against his alleged enemies in the United States that sounded like something from an authoritarian leader. “Hillary Clinton’s top aide huma Abedin has been accused of disregarding protocols, put classified passwords into the hands of former agents, jail, deep state, Justice Department must finally act, also on Comey and others.” Not surprisingly trump’s tweet about Huma Abedin appears to be a reaction to a “Fox and friends” report. When trump once again attacks his own Justice Department, it’s not a joke. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had to say about the White House’s deep state obsession next."
