Episode description
Yesterday President Trump commented on the Department of Justice decision to drop the case against Michael Flynn.
Trump called Flynn a "warrior", "He was an innocent man" and said "He is a great gentleman".
Flynn was fired by Trump for lying to the Vice President and pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI over not declaring his involvement with a Russian entity.
With regard to his accusers President Trump directly singled out the Obama administration and said that a "big price should be paid.
I hope a lot of people are going to pay a big price because they are dishonest, crooked people. They are scum and I say it a lot, they are scum, they are human scum".
He then went on to attack the press, "They are not journalists, they are thieves, all of those journalists that received a Pulitzer prize should be forced to give those Pulitzer prizes back because they were all wrong. Pulitzer prizes should all be returned because you know what, they were given out falsely. It was fake news. They are all fake news, those Pulitzer prizes should be given back immediately and the Pulitzer committee or whoever gives the prizes they are a disgrace unless they take those prizes back because they got Pulitzer prizes for what turned out to be false stories and Pulitzer prizes should be given to the ones that got it right and I can give you a long list of those names to and you know who I am talking about."
Last week President Trump called for Noble prizes to be returned, mistaking them Nobel prizes, which really meant Pulitzer's.
The President was speaking in Texas which is beginning to open from COVID restrictions, in spite of cases and deaths there still on the rise. There are now 1.3m cases of COVID 19 in the US and 76,513 deaths.
