2:30Now PlayingTrump contradicts himself every ten seconds or so. Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz, John Iadarola, and Alonzo Bodden, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"There are now multiple reports that President Trump fired FBI Director James B. Comey in part because Comey didn't provide him assurances of loyalty.
The Washington Post has reported Trump “had long questioned Comey’s loyalty and judgment.” CNN's Jake Tapper reported that a source close to Comey told him Comey's lack of “any assurance of personal loyalty” was one of two main reasons Comey was fired. And now the New York Times is reporting that Trump asked for a loyalty pledge during a dinner about a week after Trump was inaugurated:
As they ate, the president and Mr. Comey made small talk about the election and the crowd sizes at Mr. Trump’s rallies. The president then turned the conversation to whether Mr. Comey would pledge his loyalty to him.
Mr. Comey declined to make that pledge. Instead, Mr. Comey has recounted to others, he told Mr. Trump that he would always be honest with him, but that he was not “reliable” in the conventional political sense.”*
