George Stephanopoulos Insists ‘The Deep State is Packed With Patriots,’ Makes Pitch Against Donald Trump (VIDEO)

ABC News anchor and former Bill Clinton henchman George Stephanopoulos has claimed that the American deep state is “packed with patriots.”

Appearing on Tuesday’s edition of The View to promote his latest book, Stephanopoulos made the case for the deep state, a form of shadow government that wields immense power regardless of who is in the White House.

Here is a transcript of the exchange:

ALYSSAH FARAH GRIFFIN: The book is so good. My favorite thing is you interviewed Situation Room staff. I have always said it’s White House staff whose names you’ll never know are the writers of history. They will tell us so many details.

STEPHANOPOULOS: “That was my favorite part about doing the book. I interviewed about a hundred duty officers from the White House and these are people who come, they are relatively young people who come from all over the government, the CIA, the DIA, the Defense Department, military.

Some people like to call those people the deep state. Well, the big thing I learned doing this book is that the deep state is packed with patriots, people who go to work every single day and are on the frontlines of the most intense crises the country faces and do it to serve their country and to serve the presidency, not the president. They don’t care about political parties. They’re there to serve the presidency and the institution.

SUNNY HOSTIN: And they’re doing it anonymously.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Absolutely. As one of them told me…we serve in silence.

At another point in the interview, Stephanopoulos also weighed in on the upcoming presidential election where he made a less than subtle pitch for Biden’s re-election.

“It is close right now, though I think the polls show [Trump is] ahead in the states that matter the most, largely because President Biden isn’t doing as well as last time with younger voters and Black voters,” Stephanopoulos said.

“I think the most important thing that people should understand about this election is how far from normal it is,” he continued. “We have never had a former president, presidential candidate who was impeached, then indicted for trying to overturn an election. Never in all of our history.”

In March, Donald Trump sued Stephanopoulos for defamation after he falsely called him a rapist during an interview with South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace. Given the severity of the accusation and the lack of evidence for his claim, it may well prove to be a costly mistake.

I thought they said there wasn't one.

Georgie just hasn't taken his stained blue dress out of the closet yet.

Stephanopoulos is a complete left leaning libtard.

Somehow I think his definition of a patriot is different than mine.

So now they are admitting there IS a deep state? A lot of arfcom leftists are going to be choking on an even bigger cock than usual tonight.

They are super patriots just like dems have super-delegates, some pigs more equal than others.

Good swallow George.

This ,  boy Georgie shows us the meaning of the word "Projection ".

This guy is near the top of the list of dem operatives.

He's never had a bruise or made an "A" in any STEM class. Idiot and and a weak one at that.

FGS.

FPNI

It certainly is!

Leftist lying shit stains like George are the true enemies of the republic.

From the Dictionary of the Democratic Party:

Patriot (noun)
Communist, Socialist, Marxist, Statist.

Is George Stephanopoulos tje guy thay played the dad in that show Webster?

Me thinks our definition of patriot diverge.  George you are so part of the swamp and defender of the institution that you can’t see harm the being done to this country.
You are helping to move this country in the opposite direction of what it was founded on.
You and others of your ilk have bastardized meaning of what America is and could be for everyone.

I really dislike that weasel.

FGS

Smarmy little cock sucker!

I’m actually very happy to hear him say this.

ITS AFRAID

Can we get them a message that I’d like them to stop “serving”?

I’d prefer to be without their “help”.

Fuck that mouthy communist bitch.

So when Trump gets elected he should clean house of all these lifelong POS.

Be a shame if deepstate lost their drop-boxes .

You don't say?

Here this whole time I thought he was as far right as one could get.

A degree in poly-sci from douchebag University does not a patriot make.

Fuck him, Fuck the Democrats and fuck the RINOS.

Deep State fucking tyrants.

And by "Patriot" he means "Commie"..

Fuck that faggot. (no offense to America loving homosexuals.)

Choke on a bag of dicks George.

The deep state is filled up with people who would kill you for a nickel if they thought they could get away with it.

Attached File

And there shouldn't be. That's not a good thing.

Assclown

lol……

How about fuck off

George Stephanopoulos wouldn't know a patriot if they came down his throat.

His definition of the Deep State isn't of the front line workers. What an idiot.

That’s what he was there for. Pushing the propaganda. It’s not like he’s actually a journalist.

Clinton era manlet with very
punchable face.

George is lucky dude.  The #metoo had him in their sights for his "bimbo eruption" role helping Clinton.  Then the Tara Reade story broke and got traction.  Suddenly, #metoo was shut down.

The deep state, by definition, can not be patriotic.  Patriots uphold the constitution.  A shadow government of unelected bureaucrats undermining the elected president is not and cannot be “patriotic”

Hey, I've seen this one before!

He just made our point...

Sure most of the people in the "Deep State" are patriotic in the sense that they are loyal to the United States... and by the United States I mean they are loyal to the Federal Government, specifically the agency they work for.

What does that even mean, really? It means they are, loyal to the bureaucracy, not the person elected by the people to run the bureaucracy. And, they sure aren't loyal to the Constitution of the United States. This doesn't mean they are bad people. I'm sure most of them are quite likable and behave as decent citizens, pay their taxes, obey the law, call their mothers on Mothers Day, stuff like that. In a Chinese system they would likely have good social credit scores.

However these good patriots are no different than pretty much everyone else in that they are primarily self interested. Most folks only really care about themselves, their family, and maybe a few close friends and everyone else is secondary at best. These deep state patriots mostly care about keeping their job, getting a promotion, and making it through to retirement.

And, based on the nature of the kinds of people who will take government jobs, they tend to think of government as a solution and they view "The People" as a collective concept. They don't see the people as a collection of individuals with their own desires, hopes, dreams, and above all their own rights and liberties which no government is legitimately empowered to infringe.

When these people get orders from up above they will follow those orders. And when the people at the top of the hierarchy see that the foolish, ignorant, and unwashed masses have elected a President they don't agree with, then these higher ups feel fully justified in going against his wishes and the wishes of the voters... after all, they are loyal to "the presidency."

In short Clinton's former whipping boy just confirmed that this Deep State is real and explained why it needs to be purged.

GD boomers told me there is in deep state. Why is the world so confusing,

Stephanopoulos still has Bill Clinton's beer can rings on his head.  Tall boys, I believe.

They need to be much, much, much more afraid. Someone or something needs to reach into their little pea brains and crank the fight or flight response to maximum intensity. So they start acting like this.

He's a scumbag Clintonista operative who's been pretending to be a journalist.  Fuck that guy.

Clearly:

Patriots? Sure, just not for this country.

🇮🇱🇺🇦

Mr snuffleupagus has been denying the existence of the deepstate for years, now he is trying to deflect it to show patriots are involved.

You're still a POS shorty.

Ding!

For 7 years they've been telling us there is no deep state.

Now there is a deep state and it is great.
