If anyone was wondering what the damage control over on State-Run TV was going to look like after Trump Trump abruptly switched gears on having his resort at Doral host the G7, here you go.
One, blame the media for reporting on the corruption. Two, blame Democrats for "overreacting."
And three, lie and pretend that there was nothing illegal about Trump blatantly violating the emoluments clause of the United States' Constitution.
Here's Mike Huckabee doing all of the above on this Sunday's Fox & Friends:
HUCKABEE: They always do, and they went berserk over this. I think the president made the right move to say we're not going to go there. It's just something he doesn't need to add to the plate. His plate's overwhelmed with things that he's being criticized for. There wasn't anything illegal about it, but it just was a controversy that ugh... it's an unforced error. It doesn't need to happen.
So, he'll go somewhere else. There's lots of places to go. As he said in the tweet, it might be Camp David. I hope it's someplace so remote, the reporters aren't able to get there. That would really be a great comeuppance.
