Fareed Zakaria: The Republican Party Is A 'Platform To Support The Ego Of One Man And His Family'

[SYTFE]

CNN host Fareed Zakaria lamented on Sunday that the U.S. Congress could no longer be considered a check on the power of President Donald Trump because the controlling party had become a platform that caters to the whims of the president and his family.

"Donald Trump in much of his rhetoric and many of his actions poses a danger to American democracy," Zakaria explained. "American democracy has a series of checks intended to prevent the accumulation and abuse of power by any one person or group."

"But there is one gaping hole in the system: the president," he continued. "The president in effect sits above the law. The Justice Department works for him."

According to the CNN host, Congress' power of impeachment is the only "real check" on the president.

"Since Trump's own party controls both chambers of Congress, there has been little resistance to him there," he noted. "It appears the Republican Party is losing any resemblance to a traditional western political party. Instead, turning into something more commonly found in the developing world: a platform to support the ego, appetites and interests of one man and his family."

This was my favorite part. I don't usually see him, but this Sunday my schedule was off.

"The media must cover the administration's policies fairly but it also must never let the public forget that many of the attitudes and actions of this president are gross violations of the customs and practices of the modern American system," Zakaria insisted. "They are aberrations and they cannot become the new norms. That way, after Trump, the country will not start the next presidency with tattered standards and sunken expectations."

A Muslim on a fake news site. They should just shut the network down.

Fareed is looking to be completely worthless. Nice start dude.

Any reason news networks can't hire news anchors, editorialists and reporters? Keep each to their own job.

You can be a conservative, you can be a Republican, but how can you say that about his words on this subject?

He's not an anchor. His is an opinion/sometimes interview show.

TRANSLATION: I don't like his opinion, because he's right, therefore I'm gonna say he isn't a real reporter because I'm a partisan hack.

Opinions are not suppose to come from reporters. Apparently he is not one, but rather an editorial person. That means he has an opinion and nothing more. Is it correct? If you are a liberal probably yes, if not, then he is wrong. That is how opinions work. Next whine please.

He's a journalist, and of course they can have opinions, dude. What planet are you from?

He's also 100% correct about everything.

What a fucking load of Tripe. I guess party unity and lock-step action was a good thing when Obamacare was rammed through congress, but now since the other party is in power, its THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.

Obama ran roughshod over the country for 8 years without any real check from the press, and now they decide its time to speak up.

What. A. Bunch. of. Fucking. Hacks.

Who gets to decide what these "gross violations" are? oh right, the same idiots that kept asking Obama "Thank you sir, may I have another" for 8 freaking years.

The media is once again trying to escape it's own shadow.

Now there's your perfect representative of a Trump supporter.

In news reporting you are suppose to be objective. Liberals have forgotten it would seem. He is wrong.

You realize Trump doesn't even know you are alive, or cares for that matter. Can you name even one specific thing president Trump did to you that rates a hatred level of 11?
