Dick Polman reports that, as Trump administration spokespersons were not to be found on the Sunday yak shows, the networks turned to the D-list. He stands aghast at Jerry Falwell, Jr.’s, performance on Meet the Press. Here’s a bit from his column (emphasis added–follow the link for the whole article):

Was Falwell offended when Trump equated Nazis and white supremacists with those who showed up to oppose Nazism and white supremacism? Was Falwell offended when Trump said there were “very fine people” among the marchers who carried Nazi flags?

Ah, nope. Falwell replied: “I didn’t hear anything there that would offend somebody.”

Falwell sorta conceded that perhaps Trump could’ve been more sensitive to “my friends in the Jewish community,” that perhaps “he could be more polished and more politically correct.”

(Hang on a sec. Since when is it “politically correct” to condemn Nazis? Didn’t we conclude as a nation, on a bipartisan basis 75 years ago, that Nazis were bad?)

He goes on to report that Falwell asserted that Trump “spoke from his heart.”

If this is indeed the case, and there is no reason to doubt it, said heart is not a pretty place. Nor are the hearts of ones who would defend it.
