Former Bill Clinton aide and now ABC host/Democrat apologist George Stephanopoulos may wish he didn’t take on the assignment of interviewing Joe Biden in the president’s desperate attempt to salvage his foundering campaign. Stephanopoulos’ own history has come back under the microscope—and it hasn’t been pretty.
GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump took aim at the newscaster on social media Thursday, calling him “one of the worst and most vile Broadcasters in the business” and an “angry man”:
He brought up Brian Ross, who was forced to part ways with the network in 2018 for reporting fake “Russia Collusion” news:
The meanest and most vicious Interviewer out there is George Slopadopoulos of FAKE NEWS ABC, one of the worst and most vile Broadcasters in the business — In fact, the home of disgraced “reporter” Brian Ross whose reporting on the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was so outlandish that ABC, after defending him at levels not seen before, was forced to put him, and their reputation, out to pasture.
He charged that ABC and Stephanopoulos simply couldn’t be trusted to deliver a fair, unbiased interview and that they would doubtless edit it into an alternate universe.
Now ABC, and Liddle’ George, a tiny, angry man, can make up for their past indiscretions and journalistic failures by doing a real interview with Crooked Joe, not a cut up promotion with only his few coherent answers released to the public.
He reminded the host that Biden has turned the Department of Justice into a political warfare machine.
