note:
Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
What
the
President
said
…
of
course,
is
petty,
shameful,
despicable
and
undignified.
Sadly,
that
is
the
president
we
have,
but
fortunately,
in
American
history,
we’ve
had
people
like
Bob
Mueller,
and
hopefully
our
better
angels
like
Bob
can
get
us
beyond
the
fascism
that
we’re
experiencing
at
this
moment.
Rather
than
focusing
on
the
despicable
response
of
a
demented
president,
we
should
really
focus
on
the
hero
that
we
lost
today,
and
ideally
gain
some
inspiration
and
some
strength
that
we
can
bring
out
on
No
Kings
Day
when
we
stand
up
again
for
our
country.
— Ty
Cobb,
former
Hogan
&
Lovells
partner
turned White
House special
counsel
(in
the
Trump
I
regime),
in
comments
given
during
an
appearance
on
MS
Now,
concerning
President
Donald
Trump’s
words
in
response
to
the
death
of
special
counsel
Robert
Mueller,
who
oversaw
the
investigation
into
Russian
interference
in
2016’s
presidential
election.
Trump
said
of
Mueller’s
passing,
“Good,
I’m
glad
he’s
dead.
He
can
no
longer
hurt
innocent
people!”
Cobb
went
on
to
say,
“[T]hat’s
the
type
of
person
that
President
Trump
is.
He’s
a
demented
narcissist,
[he]
seriously
hates
anybody
who
stands
in
opposition
to
him.”
