ABC’s Gibson: Trump Is ‘Toxic,’ Should Learn to Apologize from Hillary

Minutes after the first polls closed on election night Clinton lackey George Stephanopoulos kicked it over to ABC’s “former leader” Charlie Gibson for his take on the election. After poking fun at the former ABC anchor for how long he had been cover politics, Gibson let it all out.  “You know, what's dismaying, George, … I haven't seen much majesty in this campaign,” he whined to Stephanopoulos.

Gibson set his sights on Donald Trump and said he could learn a thing or two from Hillary Clinton. “David [Muir] made mention of Hillary Clinton's book, and, the chapter about when you should apologize. I think Donald Trump missed that chapter somewhere along the line,” he slammed the GOP nominee.

He also feared about the “toxic nature of this campaign” and how it would keep people divided long after the election. He ranted:

And at a greater distance, and this campaign truly, truly dismays me, for the country. Not just for what's happened over the last couple of months, but what's going to happen in the coming months, because the divisions are so great, and whether or not, whoever wins tonight, can govern, given the kind of toxicity that exists, really worries me.
