Heilemann: For Trashing Trump, I Like Shep Smith More Than Ever Before

Heilemann: For Trashing Trump, I Like Shep Smith More Than Ever Be What does it take to get a member of the MSM to praise a Fox News host? Simple: trash Donald Trump. On yesterday's With All Due Respect, co-host John Heilemann declared " I have always like Shep Smith, and I like him more today than I've ever liked him before." So what had Shep done to enhance Heilemann's fondness for him? On his show on Tuesday, during a dialogue with Wall Street Journal editor John Bussey, Smith tore Donald Trump, and his plan for Muslims, to shreds. Smith called the plan unlawful, unconstitutional, fear-mongering, racist and "crazy." He claimed Trump "lied" about Muslims cheering 9/11, and described the Donald as a "carnival huckster" who "represents the worst, darkest part of all that is America." Reading between the lines, you might guess Shep doesn't like Trump very much.
