Former NBC Football Night In America Host Bob Costas recently took on Donald Trump and his voting block during an appearance on CNN. The legendary journalist is known for going full blast when airing his opinions.
Bob Costas is known for having strong opinions
For decades, Costas had a storied career covering the Olympics, football, and other sports. His time at NBC ended around the time when Costas made bold statements about the devastating effects of concussions from football and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
Costas went after Donald Trump and his supporters
Costas is now branching out into politics. According to a transcription of Costas’ appearance by Gabriel Hays with Fox News, Costas called Trump “disgraceful” and said his followers were like a “toxic cult” to believe he should run the country again:
Pulling no punches, he said, “He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. He’s only become more disgraceful since 2016 and since 2020. He is a bubbling cauldron of loathsome traits.”
Costas then added that only a cult would believe that Trump is fit for office.
“You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion and in a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been, in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be President of the United States,” he said, adding, “But his supporters are locked in on that.”
Costas doesn’t like Joe Biden either
Costas’ ire toward Trump doesn’t mean he supports President Joe Biden. He’s not sure Biden should be running in 2024, either.
Many Americans likely agree with Costas’ point of view. However, the overwhelming majority of voters have decided on a Trump Vs—Biden election. Even so, Trump’s voters aren’t going away regardless of what happens in November.
