Press versus Trump

Liz Sheld:

“…After President Trump won the 2016 election, the media and the Democrats announced that they would do everything in their power to obstruct and ruin his presidency. They did not want Trump to succeed and they did not want America to prosper under Trump. This directive is the backdrop of every aspect of public discourse on Trump and Trump-related matters. And everything, EVERYTHING, is somehow related to Trump.

The news on the Pittsburgh synagogue slaughter falls into this category and the strongest narrative on the tragedy is that Trump inspired this/is responsible because he hates Jews/is antisemitic/didn’t condemn the white supremacists or whatever flimsy excuses the resistance needs to blame Trump. In reality Trump is probably the most pro-Israel president the U.S. has ever had. I’m Jewish, I think he’s done right by Israel.

Those of us who are not in the #resistance are getting lectured on toning down our rhetoric from left wing hysterics shouting all kinds of slanderous and intemperate accusations. GQ columnist Julia Ioffe, in reference to synagogue shooting, claimed that Trump has radicalized more people than ISIS. “I think this president, one of the things that he really launched his presidential run on is talking about Islamic radicalization. And this president has radicalized so many more people than ISIS ever did. I mean, the way he talks, the way he — the way he –” Ioffe said.

So I am supposed to believe that calling Trump supporters Nazis, white supremacists, sexists, homophobes is just the right thing to do but Trump’s rhetoric is pouring gasoline on a burning fire of crazy activists? Or perhaps violence in the name of the leftist agenda is just fine? I think that’s it…”

And

“…Greg Gutfeld makes this point:

  • CNN’s Don Lemon: “The president of the United States is racist.”
  • MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough: “Even Albert Einstein may have ended up in a Nazi concentration camp with Donald Trump’s viewpoint on immigration.”
  • MSNBC’s Donnie Deutsch: “If you vote for Trump, then you the voter, you – not Donald Trump – are standing at the border like Nazis going ‘you here, you here.’”

You want hate? You spend two years calling a guy Hitler, a racist, a traitor, and insane – then you blame him for violence cuz …of nicknames?

Also, big lefty donor Tom Steyer is running Facebook ads comparing Trump to Sadam Hussein.

Sane people know what’s going on here…”
