Capehart: The Oval Office Has Become a Venus Flytrap, You Might Not Get Out Alive

EXCERPT:

CAPEHART: “The Oval Office has become a Venus flytrap. You walk into the Oval Office, you might not get out alive. We saw that happen to President Zelenskyy. He got mauled in the Oval Office. We even saw Governor Gretchen Whitmer, when she was called into the Oval Office and ended up hiding her face behind — trying to — behind file folders because she was caught in there. And now you have got the president of South Africa sitting with a president and delicately trying to fact-check him, and doing a little joke about, ‘I wish we had a plane to offer you,’ and he said, ‘Yeah, great. I mean, I wish you did too.’ I mean, that place is not a — the Oval Office is no longer a serious place of business. Leaders go in there, and now I watch to see how is the president going to humiliate this person in the most unserious way possible, while at the same time lending credence to already debunked racist theories? And I am glad you pointed out the fact that this president has a long history of racist comments, racist actions, and peddling white grievance. And he has a problem with immigrants, as long as they don’t come from ‘s-hole countries.’ And usually those countries that he defines that way are not white.”
