CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 19, 2026
IF REPUBLICANS LOSE THEIR MAJORITIES IN CONGRESS THIS NOVEMBER THE BLAME WILL FALL ON PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THE REASON HAS LESS TO DO WITH HIS POLICIES – MANY OF WHICH ARE WORKING – AND MORE TO DO WITH HIS CONTINUING INSULTS OF PEOPLE WHO DON’T AGREE WITH HIM ALL THE TIME.
THE LATEST TWO VICTIMS OF HIS VITRIOL ARE FOX NEWS SUNDAY HOST AND LEGAL CORRESPONDENT SHANNON BREAM AND CNN’S KRISTEN HOLMES.
BREAM IS A SOLID CHRISTIAN. I HAVE KNOWN HER FOR YEARS AND APPEARED ON HER PROGRAM SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN SHE REPORTS WHAT MANY POLLS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S APPROVAL AND DISAPPROVAL RATINGS, HE GETS ANGRY AND LASHES OUT.
HOLMES ASKED THE PRESIDENT A TOUGH QUESTION BASED ON WHAT GEORGIA DEMOCRAT SENATOR JON OSSOFF SAID ABOUT HIM. INSTEAD OF ANSWERING THE QUESTION THE PRESIDENT CALLED OSOFF A “PEWEE HERMAN LOOK ALIKE.” A FOLLOWUP FROM THE WHITE HOUSE X ACCOUNT SAID: “SOMEDAY YOUR CHILDREN (SPEAKING OF HOLMES) WILL COME ACROSS YOUR DISGUSTING AND INHUMANE QUESTION. THEY WILL BE SICKENED AND EMBARRASSED TO HAVE A PARENT BE SO CALLOUS AND VINDICTIVE.”
TALK ABOUT THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK. I HAVE GROWN TIRED OF THE NAME CALLING AND SUSPECT A LOT OF HIS SUPPORTERS HAVE, TOO. I’M CAL THOMAS.
