Donald Trump makes Sarah Palin look like Martin Luther King Jr. SAD!
Sean Spicer saying Hitler didn't use chemical weapons during the holocaust
That's how all republicans REALLY feel about rape. Fall pregnant? YOU WERE JUST GRANTED A GIFT FROM GOD…. Fucking sick!
"All of 'em, Any of 'em"
Ummmm? Donald, duh hello? Wtf?

Just watch a Trump interview if you want to see a fail
Mal Meninga played Rugby LEAGUE. Get it right! "Rugby" is something you fall asleep to. "Rugby League" is the toughest and most exhilarating team sport on the planet.
Too biased!
The last guy who sings about Jesus was a DEMOCRAT??
This is why you should never just vote the party line, people!
I expected Trump to be at least half of them.
No Gary Johnson…
You want Political Interview fails everyday…? Come to India
What a surprise! Mexican president is not in the list
He have some of the most infamous answers in politics
Rest in peace, those who managed to make it to #1…
How is Trumpf not on here? ( But I guess he is not a politician )
I think this is a subject they could make a series of. It was fun to see clips from not just the US as I don't get to see this too often. And the one I thought was missing was Herman Cain trying to give a position on Libya.
These were good ones. My favorite was Sarah Palin. She's white trash with money. I don't miss her when I don't have to look or listen.
Very professionally produced, but far too much voiceover. I would have thought that with a title like 'Top 10 Most Embarrassing Political Interview Fails' you would have let these unfortunate politicians do the talking. But no. The commentary is unrelenting. In one case I'm sure we heard barely half a dozen words from the person himself, while the voiceover seemed to go on and on and on. I wanted to scream at the computer 'Stop talking and let us listen!'. Very disappointing.
should have showed Palin really messing up,it's hilarious!!
Amazingly Republican voters are even dumber than Republican politicians.
Great to see some Aussie representation! though for 10 I wouldve picked Tony Abbot either nodding over and over again in an interview or his famous raw onion bite
Stay tuned in a few years, the top 10 will all be held by Trump
10:10 Ricky Gervais in The Office
If they waited a few more weeks to release this they could've shown the interview where our President arrogantly paraded his ignorance on our Civil War. I can't recall any other interview that was so embarrassing for himself and the rest of America.
Trump, April 29th 2017: HOLD MY BEER!
WatchMojo is getting a piece of the action on politics. How did Trump not take every spot?
I just left RI and it makes it miss it haha
Legitimate rape -.-
In 2005, newly elected George Galloway demanded congratulations from Heremy Paxman and then refused to answer the question about how he felt replacing one of the few black women in Parliament.
Sarah Palin is still the STUPIDEST HUMAN OF ALL TIME
Any of Trump's interviews.
Every single Donald trump interview should be on this list. Every time the man opens it's mouth, the whole world laughs at America.
There's zero doubt in my mind that Rep. Aikin's blantantly moronic "legitimate rape" comment is what cost him his seat. Equal parts stupid and insensitive.
Should have included Rahul Gandhi's interview with Arnab Goswami.
No Zapatero saying "follar"?
Political bias is showing, asshats.
