Brit Hume has suddenly turned into a big time Trump-lover. He used to be fairly critical, but now he seems to be irrationally praising the man. In this segment from last night, he says that Trump has sown that he’s really learned some lessons from the health care debacle, and then he blames the Freedom Caucus for it failing.
Watch below – he starts praising Trump at about the 2:20 minute mark
He actually says that Trump “figured it out” in reference to how hard healthcare is to fix. But then he says he was also smart about who to blame – the Freedom Caucus and the Democrats. Uh, isn’t that contradictory? If he realized how hard it actually is, then that should mean he didn’t give it enough attention, and he should be blaming himself. But he isn’t. He’s blaming the Democrats, when he didn’t ask for bipartisan support, and the Freedom Caucus, when they only allowed a few weeks for the bill to be considered!! This makes no sense to me, especially given how critical Hume has been of el Trumpo in the past…
