Axelrod on Rob Porter: ‘Denial Is Not Just a River in Egypt, It Clearly Runs...Through the Oval Office’

RUSH EXCERPT:

AXELROD: "Well, I don’t even think that’s a question. You know the old expression, denial is not just a river in Egypt. It clearly runs through the White House, through the oval office. Inincredible that they called the White House press corps in to speak to this issue and the president of the United States spent the entire time — I understand loyalty to a friend or a staffer but he spent the whole time buoying a man who was accused of sexual abuse and with compelling enough evidence that he couldn’t get his White House clearance, and the president had not one word of solicitude to the victims. This is his pattern. This is what he has done throughout. Roy Moore or Roger Ailes or bill O’Reilly or charges against himself. It always comes to the same place. They say they’re innocent. Essentially blaming the victims. I saw the vice president. His modular morality unit was rolled out to say we’re appalled and we have a zero tolerance. There’s not a lot of evidence against that."
