I count at least seven lies and one racist statement from Trump in this single short clip. But Stephanopoulos challenges not a single one of them. None of them. He lets Trump talk and walk all over him. And this is an interview he apparently waited a year to get.

Kill. Me. Now.
He could have said ‘Mr President, how does calling Sen. Warren ‘Pocahontas’ fit with your claim to be the least racist person we’ve ever met, or fit with your wife’s anti bullying campaign?’

But he didn’t.
When Trump said again and again ‘I could get you 5,000 prosecutors’ who agree with him on obstruction, George S could have said ‘ok, you say 5,000, can you name 5 for me?’

But he didn’t.
When Trump mentioned Alan Dershowitz, Stephanopoulos could have pointed out that Dershowitz isn’t a federal prosecutor and never has been. Or he could have pivoted to Trump and Dershowitz’s common friend, the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

But he didn’t.
Some of us would give an arm and a leg - and maybe other body parts too! - to interview this president on camera. And yet those who get this opportunity, throw it away. Every time. Every single time. FFS.
