Carl Bernstein urges Republicans to make Nixon-era move: 'Damn past time' to rise up against Trump

Veteran investigative journalist Carl Bernstein urged Republican leaders in Congress to abandon President Trump and force him to abdicate his powers as president three months out from Election Day.

During an appearance Friday on CNN, Bernstein hearkened back to the Watergate scandal, describing how a trio of influential Republicans — 1964 presidential nominee Sen. Barry Goldwater, Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, and House Minority Leader John Rhodes — went to the White House in 1974 to tell President Richard Nixon he did not have the support in Congress to survive impeachment, after which he resigned.

"Something similar is needed now. If only the Republican leadership and other Republicans would go publicly and say to this president, 'All right, you want to stay for the rest of your term, but we are going to be a caretaker until this election, and you must begin to act in the national interests and in fact we would like to find another alternative to run as the Republican nominee for president of the United States,'" Bernstein said.

Yes, indeed, Republicans: listen to the advice of a lefty. He's bound to have the GOP's interests at heart.

[XenaLee]

Uhh....

Earth to Carl:   Trump has done nothing BUT act in the national interests....

of America.   Which is probably the main reason why you and deep staters like yourself are so opposed to him being president.  His adherence to making America great again and keeping it so...is interfering with your personal finances and interests....apparently.  Hey Carl... how much have YOU got invested in China and in other enemy nations?

This is the kind of shit he dreams about, late at night.  Glories of his youth....

(Nixon was set up by demon-rats, back then too. He WAS INNOCENT. No doubt in my mind. PELOSI said Nixon was easier to remove, because SHE WAS IN ON THE COUP, back then too!).

Bernstein Calls on GOP, McConnell to ‘Save Lives’ in Pandemic by Demanding Trump Resign

Pam Key 4 Aug 2020

Tuesday on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” veteran journalist Carl Bernstein called on Republican lawmakers led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to demand President Donald Trump resigns to save Americans’ lives in the coronavirus pandemic.

Partial transcript as follows:

    CUOMO: We believe Fauci. We believe Operation Warp Speed. We believe that they have all-star science team and they’re moving this along, that the government putting billions of dollars behind it will help speed it up because they’re going to put it in the production, assuming it will work. That’s all true as far as we know. But what do you think the stretch play is here politically?

    BERNSTEIN: I think we have to recognize that we have a national emergency unlike anything in our history. That national emergency is that we have a president of the United States who is demonstrably unfit, incompetent, not honest, and not capable of dealing with this horrible situation. We need a political and cultural protector in this country between now and Election Day from the president of the United States and his recklessness. People are dead because of his recklessness.

    We need the political system to respond, which means Republicans particularly, because the Republicans on Capitol Hill as well as those who left the White House, they know he is not a stable individual. They have told dozens of people, they believe the president of the United States is out of control, that he is not fit to be the president of the United States. We need to be protected from this president so that we can be protected from COVID.

    CUOMO: One question about inside the box, one question outside the box. Inside the box, what is the explanation, as best as you can get, Carl, about why he refuses to do what would be politically obvious to you and me, which is own this and say, I gave the states long enough, I’m all in, we can do the testing, six to eight weeks? There’s plenty of time before the election to show a demonstrable change like what they’re seeing in the U.K. right now. What do you hear about inside why he thinks ignoring this works?

    BERNSTEIN: Because everything is about the base, as he calls it, and getting the base to somehow re-elect him or get him close enough to reelection that he can then put into authoritarian practice, some kind of mechanism that will allow him to hold on to power, perhaps throw the election into the House of Representatives, which indeed is being talked about in the White House.

    You have to remember that the day before the president finally said, well, people should be wearing masks, the epidemiologist came to the president of the United States — and I know this from people in the White House — and said, Mr. President, this is beyond a national emergency. This situation is on fire. You must act but this cannot be contained right now because it is out of control.

    His message has not been this is out of control. He has been told by those closest to him. But what we see is that once again, as throughout his presidency, he has no ability or interest in the welfare of the United States as a people, as an entity. And he’s much more interested, for instance, when you look at relations with Vladimir Putin of Russia. He’s much more interested in showing what a tough guy he is to Putin than solving the greatest problem that a United States president has faced at home in generations.

    We are in need of action by the political system and Republicans on Capitol Hill, including the craven Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell understands that this president is not capable of being a fit president of the United States. And it is time, as happened in the Nixon presidency, what happened in the Nixon presidency? A group of Republicans led by the great conservative Barry Goldwater and by the minority leader of the House and by the republican leadership marched to the White House and said to Richard Nixon, you are unfit to remain in office, you must leave the presidency, and we will no longer support you. Something similar has got to happen in some kind of conscience rendering by Republicans to save us and to save lives in this country.

Oh, it's being talked about all right.   But it's the rabid, scheming, frothing left that's plotting about it... no doubt.

...perhaps throw the election into the House of Representatives, which indeed is being talked about in the White House.

Thanks @mountaineer you saved me a bit of typing!

[libertybele]

??? 4 months away from the election and rise up against the only opposition that we have to the DEMS? Right. 

[LegalAmerican]

All I see is a bunch of LEFT, DEMON-RAT corruption, that they want covered up!  That is the issue.  NIXON WAS INNOCENT.  They created a coup ON HIM TOO.  He just left office over it.  INNOCENT.  Every bone in my body believes that.  Look what they have done under POTUS TRUMP?  RUSSIA HOAX, impeach lying coup hoax,  and still continuing.  WRONG PEOPLE are being looked into.

Were you even in this country 1972-1974?  Here's a little history lesson and an opinion from my perspective:

(1) Nixon had nothing to do with the breakin at the Watergate Hotel.
(2) Nixon became aware of the deed late '72, to early '73, and took no action.
(3) When investigations began, Nixon particpated in stonewalling them at every juncture, also within '73, cracks in loyalty within the Nixon camp begin.
(4) '73-  John Dean squeals in earnest, giving dims all ammo needed.  Then add fact that evidence was mounting around Nixon taping conversations  that would have collaborated addtional charges of investigating rivals.
(5) '73-'74- Scandal snowballs, and by mid summer, GOP had abandoned him as far as support. 

So explain to me how you can extract "innocence" when there was so much circumstantial evidence to basically insure an impeachment, and conviction?

[Wingnut]

The trouble with Carl Bernstein is he still thinks it is the dawn of the 1970's and he is still relevant to anyone outside of the leftist media leg humpers.

Sad little man.  Much like The Rev's Jackson and Sharpton who get dusted off and trotted out to practice the "Race Hustle", Carl's hustle is Watergate.

@libertybele

I don't know what type of message this sends the rest of you,but it tells ME that Trump scares the hell out of them and they don't think they can beat him.

And I doubt many of them even return his calls unless they feel guilty if they don't.

Bernstein rode his fame into partisan hack status.  Woodward is the only one in the team with any intellectual prowess left anymore.

DEMON-RATS..want to save lives?  SINCE WHEN!  This truck driver did nothing to these people.  Hauling product for all Americans. 
These are despicable people.  One is yelling, 'kill him'.  Why, is he white?  Then talking about hitting him in the HEAD!  Worse than animals.  I didn't make this video.  Just the messenger.  DEMON-RATS IN ACTION.

It occurred to me while watching that,that a helicopter gun ship with a couple of mini-guns could do America a huge service with a 3 second burst around that truck.

Can't speak for any of you,but IF such a thing were to ever happen and *I* was on the jury,the pilot would have nothing to worry about.

BTW,I hope you know the REAL reason these "people" are doing this is because they CAN,and they CAN because they outnumber him by maybe 50 to 1. 1 on 1,and the ain't quite so bold.

I agree. People post,  the man was murdered.  I don't know if he is alive or not.  Reminds me of REGINALD DENNY.  Left to die, with bricks to the head, now has a metal plate in his head.  Received NOTHING...from California. Just another innocent truck driver, driving into a riot, he did not know about.  The perv, Rodney,  received 3.1 million dollars.  Continued to be arrested  for drugs & driving,  again.  I believe people who act like this, have a mental disorder. Calling for the death of an innocent man and being so vicious about it. 'hit his head'!  "kill him".

The straw that broke the camel's back was when the tape was released that had Nixon telling the CIA to tell the FBI to back off the Watergate investigation for national security reasons. This was prima facie obstruction of justice. Nixon's remaining support quickly melted away.

It is about Bernstein saying demon-rats want to save lives. I showed, they DON'T. They AREN'T about saving lives.  They are about murdering people.    BUT YOU ARE THE BOSS.   I defer to you.  I was done, actually.
