RE: All of his shows in 2016.
Since you seem to have missed my Previous post above, I will re-post it here for you.
Here are the facts:
1. Levin was for Ted Cruz in the primaries because he was unsure about Trump’s conservative credentials. He cited Trump’s donation to Hillary’s campaign for President in the past as one example.
2. After Trump became the official nominee, Levin voted for Trump. In fact, used his radio program to promote him.
3. He has been a stalwart supporter of Trump ever since, throughout the Russian Collusion Hoax, the fake impeachment, the 2020 elections, Levin was THERE ALL THE WAY with Trump.
4. Trump has been on his show several times.
A person is entitled to be pleasantly surprised and mistaken in his belief about a politician ( especially one with little to no political record at all as in 2016 ). Levin himself FULLY acknowledged that he was wrong and gladly admitted it.
You seem to be stuck in the past, refusing to move on.
He prefers the show who doesn’t support Trump in 2016 and voted for Kanye in 2020. Levin blows away Tucker in his support for Trump.
RE: Levin blows away Tucker in his support for Trump.
Totally. Levin’s defense of Trump in the Russian Collusion and the Impeachment hoaxes are masterclasses in the evidence in the public square.
Even today, Levin is attacking New York State Attorney General Leticia James for using her office to persecute Trump.
Only folks who do not want to move on and stick to past resentments will deny that he is NOT anti-Trump.
He has never admitted he was wrong that Cubans born in Canada are natural born citizens of the USA.
The only way one is NATURALLY an American is when you can’t be anything else.
If you are born something else, you are NOT NATURALLY an American.
RE: He has never admitted he was wrong that Cubans born in Canada are natural born citizens of the USA
Why don’t you call him and argue with him about the constitutionality of Ted Cruz’s candidacy? Good people can disagree about whether Cruz’s mother’s citizenship applies to him at birth.
The fact is the courts DECIDED IN FAVOR OF CRUZ.
If you disagree with this, I am not going to bludgeon you, nor do I want to make this thread an argument about what constitutes natural born citizenship.
I am simply saying that to call Levin an anti-Trumper or even a never-Trumper is wrong.
You have ever afmitted Cruz has been a citizen from birth and is thus a ‘natural born Citizen’ within the meaning of the Constitution.
It’s never been examined, courts have dodged with rulings on standing or wrong precedent.
RE: It’s never been examined, courts have dodged with rulings on standing or wrong precedent
Again, call Mark Levin and tell him why you think he’s wrong about Ted Cruz. He puts those who disagree with him at the head of the call line.
There are many issues you can discuss with him regarding conservatism ( both economic and social and cultural ). Would you attack his conservative credentials simply because of this one issue which many conservatives disagree with ?
Well, I don’t blame people for considering the whole history (forgive - but never forget).
However, this is another case where the change seems to be consistent, rather than flip-flopping.
Citizenship is not the same as being a natural born citizen as evidenced by the words of Article II.
We don’t know when Ted Cruz got his citizenship, we’ve never seen the paperwork.
All foreign born children must have paperwork.
Exactly, Levin just came out denouncing nationalism, populism, and he’s gung ho for another globalist neocon war, the exact opposite of what Trump represented, yet people still defend him. I just don’t get it.
It’s funny, because once again, we see a “war” which is basically WHITE which gets all the American leftists (in particular, but not just) in a tizzy, complete with new virtue-signalling such as the idiot down the street from us who puts out a Ukraine flag (and never an American flag).
Could it be they are “racist” or “bigoted” and only care when it’s WHITE wars that happen?
Not everyone is perfect. Not even Trump. You can’t abandon/cancel someone for not agreeing on every single point.
Levin’s “Get off the phone you big dope” is still my favorite “tagline”!
“Levin just came out denouncing nationalism, populism, and he’s gung ho for another globalist neocon war, the exact opposite of what Trump represented, yet people still defend him.”
In the past — 15-20 years ago — Levin had his moments. He’s become Coulter-ish lately; not a fan.
Maybe he just needs a “neocon” label on all his tweets...
Since when?
My father fought this issue all the time, including for those of us who had to get security clearances.
He had a top clearance himself but every time we had to apply, he could only write on his own behalf (never mind that he himself had the best clearance), that he was born in Newfoundland but came into the US at age 2, back with his American parents. There was nothing to show except to say he was given the choice of (Canadian) or US citizenship when he reached maturity.
RE: However, this is another case where the change seems to be consistent, rather than flip-flopping.
When it comes to judging a person’s character and political stance, there is always the possibility of being wrong. Heck, a lot of conservatives musjudge the character of the people they marry and end up divorced. In the case if Rush Limbaugh, he made a mistake 3 times.
So, When it came to an unknown politician like Donald Trump, it is understandable if one is reluctant to support him in the primaries over someone with a known political track record like Ted Cruz.
When Trump won, the onus was on him to prove conservative skeptics wrong. In this case Trump did and men like Mark Levin were pleasantly surprised. I would not call Levin’s change a flip flop ( a flip flop is doing it for political and opportunistic purposes ). It was a real change of heart after being proven wrong.
The common thread for all of the previous and future posts harpooning Levin is:
They love them some Trump-— at all costs. Luv luv luv. Can do no wrong. No matter what stupid policy, fumble, character flaw, or retarded endorsement. Idol worship par excellence.
