Longtime Sportscaster Bob Costas Says Trump Supporters Are In A ‘Toxic Cult’

Award winning sportscaster Bob Costas referred to former President Donald Trump as “the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history” during a recent CNN segment.

CNN’s Michael Smerconish asked Costas — who has expressed concerns over Biden’s age in the past — if he is still vehemently opposed to the former president. “Yes, absolutely. He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history,” Costas answered.

The veteran NFL announcer went on to criticize Fox News and the “MAGA media” for brushing aside criticisms of Trump before taking aim at the former president’s supporters. “You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion, in a toxic cult, to believe that Donald Trump has ever been in any sense emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be President of the United States,” he said. “But his supporters are locked in on that. There is no cult of Joe Biden.”

The most recent segment is far from the first time Costas has branded 74 million Trump voters as “cultists.”

“They are devoted to him, hopelessly, devoted as an old-song lyric went. And yet, what is his level of devotion to anyone who is not 100% loyal to him? Exhibit A, Mike Pence,” Costas said during another CNN appearance in 2021. “They call themselves patriots, ‘we’re true American patriots.’ Who tried to overthrow the election? Who tried? It’s on tape. The phone call to election officials in Georgia and everywhere. All these things that are preposterous, on their face. And yet, if you are a member of a cult, you’re down the line with that cult.”

He also repeated the “cult” talking point during a sit-down with Bill Maher earlier this month. “The MAGA cult, which is a coalition of the brainless and when it comes to fellow Republicans, the spineless, that coalition is not going away,” Costas raved.
