Liberal PBS News commentator Jonathan Capehart was left aghast at the preliminary election results suggesting that former President Donald Trump is in a strong spot.
“There’s a shift right and then there’s a shift to Trump,” Capehart vented on the program. “I am mystified in some ways simply because we’re talking about a twice-impeached, four-times indicted, convicted-on-34-felony-counts former president.”
It’s MELTDOWN time for Jonathan Capehart on PBS. I am “mystified” that Trump is gaining support from 2020, the twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, convicted of 34 felony counts. After Madison Square Garden!? “Who are we as a country?…I’m not sure I like it!” pic.twitter.com/lSRpSSQsiz

“That’s one bucket, then in another bucket, you have all the things that he’s been saying on the campaign trail that gets to the decency,” he added. “I am mystified that despite all of that, he’s gaining support relative to 2020.”
Capehart further bemoaned that the election could be indicative of “who we are as was a country” — adding that “from what I’m seeing right now, I’m not sure that I like it.”
