D.L. Hughley Slams Trump Backers as 'Morally Vacant,' Worse than Devil Worshipers



During the D.L. Hughley Show on the TV One network on Tuesday night, the eponymous host and his panel discussed the “D.L. Question of the Day” on social media asking “could you be friends with a staunch Trump supporter?” After Hughley answered “hell no,” the conversation quickly turned into a tirade against Trump supporters; whom Hughley trashed as “morally vacant,” “self-centered,” and worse humans than devil-worshippers.

While Hughley might not seem like a journalist at first glance, keep in mind that he hosted a show called D.L. Hughley Breaks the News on CNN, “the most trusted name in news.” On one particular episode of his short-lived show, Hughley claimed that Republicans “literally look like Nazi Germany.” Based on his show Tuesday night, which aired ten years after he made those incendiary comments, it looks like Hughley’s rancor towards Republicans has not cooled off one bit.

Hughley implied that Trump supporters were “self-centered” because of their focus on the economy and the appointment of conservative judges before calling them “the most vacant group of people.” Hughley proceeded to go way off the deep end, declaring that “you could worship the devil and be a better human being than if you worshiped Donald Trump.” Hughley urged his audience to “look up the tenets of the Church of Satan...and then go to a Trump rally and you’ll feel safer around Beelzebub than this dude.”

Throughout the segment, Hughley and his panel argued that it was “impossible” to be a Trump supporter and a good person. When panelist Jay Phillips tried to argue that some people might “slightly support” the President while disagreeing with his most controversial actions, co-host Jasmine Sanders claimed “I don’t think you can do that. That’s like saying ‘I’m going to eat a burnt piece of toast but scrape the burnt off.’ It still tastes burnt.”

While the social media question asked if it was possible to be friends with “staunch” Trump supporters, Hughley also took aim at “benign” Trump supporters. According to Hughley, “you can’t be a little pregnant and you can’t be a little Trump supporter.” Hughley contended that “it’s not because of his vocal supporters that he’s in power. It’s because of his benign ones.”

Later, Hughley noted that President Trump is referring to “the Squad” as anti-Semitic before arguing “his supporters are anti-Semitic,” adding “he’s calling them racist, he’s racist...when people committed acts of violence in your name and you don’t denounce them and you still support him, you are a vacant human being.” After Hughley reiterated the point that it is impossible to be friends with a Trump supporter, Sanders argued that “you have, I guess, certain requirements that you have of friends in your circle.” According to Hughley, “one of them is to be human,” implying that Trump supporters are subhuman.

This entire segment illustrated the sad reality of 2019, where politics has invaded every aspect of American life. Sanders claimed she could not be friends with a Trump supporter because “we’d argue all the time,” as if there was nothing else to talk about but politics. No wonder we live in such a divided country.
