Sunday on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher said President Donald Trump would order people to be killed if he could because Maher argued Trump “would do all the things dictators do.” Maher said, “He totally wants to be a dictator. It’s so obvious. The people he admires in the world — Putin, even Kim Jong-Un he said is a smart cookie. It wasn’t that long ago he said I’d be honored to rain fire and fury on you. You know, Sisi in Egypt, Duarte and that nut in Turkey — these are the people he likes. He so wants to be that guy who can do whatever he wants.” “I asked the panel last week, Ralph Reed, ‘Do you think Putin has ordered people people killed?’” he continued. “He said ‘Absolutely.’ I said do you think Trump would do that if he could? ‘No.’  I do. I think if Trump could do that. He would do all the things dictators do. So, yes, that’s very frightening.” Follow Pam Key on Twitter @pamkeyNEN

Now former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has finished off whatever is left of his credibility, blowing it all in a baseless attack on Breitbart News and White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon as well as ripping President Donald Trump in an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.

Sunday on MSNBC, former Vermont Governor, and DNC Chair Howard Dean said President Donald Trump didn’t “appear to have a shred of decency in him, not a shred.” Dean’s remarks were in reference to Trump’s reaction to the events in Charlottesville, VA a day earlier. Dean said, “Well, actually, being an incurable optimist, I was hoping — I thought this might be his moment, and it wasn’t. I have concluded the guy is totally incapable of exerting any moral leadership whatsoever. I think you’ll see that in poll numbers quickly. Even hardened Republicans who believe in the Trump program — really, this is a country that’s fundamentally a decent country. There are some very bad things we’ve done in the past and certainly, the struggles continue on the racial front and stuff like that. But most Americans, their instinct is decency, even though that’s not always how we play our politics out. Trump doesn’t appear to have a shred of decency in him, not a shred. It’s incredible.” Follow Pam Key on Twitter @pamkeyNEN

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) discussed the violence at a protest in Charlottesville, VA on Saturday. He said President Trump needs to do more to distance himself from white supremacists. Graham said, “It’s domestic terrorism, and the groups you just mentioned are hateful groups, enemies of freedom. I would like to see a task force and the Department of Justice and Homeland Security to look at the size and scope of these groups, report back to Congress to see if we need to do more in terms of suppressing them. When it comes to President Trump I’m with Cory Gardner; he missed an opportunity to be very explicit here. These groups seem to believe they have a friend and Donald Trump in the White House. I don’t know why they believe that but they don’t see me as a friend in the Senate, and I would urge the president to dissuade these groups that he’s their friend.” He continued, “Let me say this, I’m glad they don’t like me. I’m glad they believe that Lindsey Graham is not different. It would bother me a lot if they did. If I were president of

The critics are guilty of a double standard, and of exploiting the violence for political gain, widening America’s divisions at a time when national unity is the only proper course.
