Elizabeth Holtzman: Hush Money

Posted by admin on Sunday, August 11, 2019

Elizabeth Holtzman served four terms in Congress as a New York Democratic representative and as a member of the House Judiciary Committee during the Richard Nixon & Watergate investigation. She said in a July 2019 Opinion piece that it’s time to Impeach Trump:
 

 

“When the facts of what Nixon actually did came to light, such as illegal wiretaps, interfering with a federal investigation, dangling pardons, paying hush money, suborning perjury, and demanding tax audits of political enemies, many minds changed. That could happen again” — Elizabeth Holtzman

Stephen Colbert: Trump on Hush Money

Posted by admin on Tuesday, April 24, 2018

Stephen Colbert Money Quote saying we pay tribute to our most revered leaders by putting them on currency. Donald Trump perfectly represents ‘Hush Money’ after paying pornstars and nude models to keep quiet about their affairs with him. Stephen Colbert said:
 

 
“The greatest presidents are honored, they end up on our currency. Donald Trump could end up on our hush money” — Stephen Colbert
 

 

Stephen Colbert is making a joke at Donald Trump’s expense. He’s referring to the fact that some of the greatest U.S. presidents, such as Washington, Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, have had their portraits featured on American currency like dollar bills and coins.

However, Colbert suggests that given the allegations of hush money payments made during Trump’s presidency to cover up affairs, it would be more fitting for Trump’s image to end up on that kind of “currency” – a humorous way of saying the only place Trump deserves to be featured is on bills related to secret payoffs rather than legitimate banknotes.

The best interpretation is that Colbert is comically implying Trump is not deserving of true presidential honors due to the scandals surrounding him.
