President Trump: “Journalists” Are Inciting Violence

Absolutely true.

While I have been highly critical of President Trump’s policies, he has been great at calling out and delegitimizing the liars in the fake news media:

“Speaking to reporters before taking off on Marine One, President Trump blamed the media for inciting violence in the U.S. and, when asked if his rhetoric sparked violence, the president specifically told one reporter that “you’re creating violence by your questions.”

“The fake news is creating violence….if the media would write correctly and write accurately and write fairly, you’d have a lot less violence in the country.”
— President Trump

I will give him credit for that.

No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes.

America is indebted as a democratic nation to the free press for truths it has uncovered, for truth it has disseminated, and for falsehoods it has repudiated. Read more at: https://t.co/gGVCu80cFS

Disgusting, vile threats and actions against fellow Americans and our institutions are sadly unsurprising: hate acts follow hate speech. It is past time for us to turn down and tune out the rabid rhetoric.

Trump’s biggest problem is his inability to square these virtue signaling cucks in Congress and their shitty, unpopular True Cons agenda with his own populist campaign promises. Would Trump have built the border wall if these people had been on board with it? Probably so, but they aren’t.
