NYT’s Friedman Slams ‘Moron’ Greg Gutfeld for Mocking His Column on Trump Media Coverage

RUSH EXCERPT:

FRIEDMAN: "Let’s first of all talk about this whole question of coverage of trump. I don’t know who was the moron from Fox News who made that point of how did that work in 2016. The question that I would ask is how is it working in 2018. What happened in 2016, Donald Trump was running against Hillary Clinton. We know there were a lot of Democrats and suburban women and just enough that in a choice between trump and Hillary ready to say, really don’t like Hillary and I think I will take a chance on trump. What has been happening, trump has been locked at 43% approval and 53% disapproval. We saw in the Alabama election and the Pennsylvania election and we saw it in the recent election in Ohio is that group of Independence and moderate Republicans and others were ready to take a chance on trump verses Hillary are no longer ready to do so because they got the proof of the last two years of his incredible toxic behavior. And so what do we see in Ohio? We saw an election in a district that Democrats have not won in over three decades. A district that trump won by 11 percentage point and the Republicans are barely leading over the Democrats by less than 1% point. There is only way one way to explain that that moderate Republicans and suburban women and independent voters are turned off by everything they see and hear trump doing. They see him tweeting, calling Lebron James a dummy after Lebron James just built a school for impoverished students. They see that and it reminded them what a despicable president this is."
