.MaddowBlog: GOP senator: Pres. Trump’s hush-money payoff is proof he ‘loves his family’
The evidence that Donald Trump financed an illegal cover-up, using hush-money to pay off a porn star, is quite compelling. The New York Times added some additional context yesterday, juxtaposing the Republican’s presidential duties with the dates in which he signed reimbursement checks to his former fixer.
“I think most of us have a concern any time you have a president who is trying to work through some very personal matters. I think – I honestly think this president loves his family, and I think it has as much to do with trying not to – not to have public discussions about something that is, for him, a private matter that he didn’t want to have discussed with his family. And I think that’s a lot of it.
Hmm. The president is accused of having an extra-marital affair with a porn star, soon after the birth of his youngest child, before implementing a legally dubious hush-money scheme – which is sending his former lawyer to prison – and then lying about it. For example, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy this week tried to dismiss the importance of Trump’s hush-money scandal by saying, “You’ve seen politicians do this exact same thing in the past.”
