Media Rushes to Blame Trump For Assassination Attempt
"Be angry and do not sin." Ephesians 4:26.
If you want to avenge Donald Trump after this attempted assassination, go vote. Donate. Knock on doors and persuade people to vote for him. Help people get registered to vote. Help people get their absentee ballots processed. Volunteer to be a poll worker for your local county government. Volunteer to be a poll watcher for the GOP. Get involved and get Trump elected. That is the best way to respond to this.
It is both disgusting and remarkable that, within minutes and hours of the attempt on Donald Trump’s life, the media was blaming Donald Trump.
Jamie Gangel on CNN lamented that, in the thirty seconds after Donald Trump got shot, he did not urge people to tone down the rhetoric, instead choosing to show the crowd he was okay by raising up his fist and yelling, “Fight.”
Margaret Brennan on CBS, after Trump released a statement mourning the dead and praising law enforcement, lamented he did not urge people to tone down the rhetoric.
Remarkable.
The victim is fine and the media is upset.
Frankly, the media’s rhetoric, not just the politicians, has been to attack Trump as a threat to democracy, a would be dictator, and an autocrat unless someone stops him. MSNBC ran an entire series called “American Autocracy” about what life would be like under Donald Trump.
Now, the press is blaming Trump for not toning down the rhetoric. The press won’t be happy until Trump is killed.
Will there be any lecture to the left, to Democrats, or reporters who have screamed about what a threat Trump is? Will Oliver Darcy at CNN shame MSNBC for its repeated latent calls for someone to take out Trump?
I won’t hold my breath. But I’ve got the receipts. Take a listen.
Once again the press sickens me with their comments devoid of any humanity. For anyone to say such things especially so soon after this event- it is clear that they have never experienced shock. I have. Several times. The fact that Donald Trump was able to post a coherent comment so soon after the attack on him is admirable. The fact that he was thinking about the others affected by this attack is admirable. He was centimeters away from death. Most people would not be able to post anything. I know from experience. I am thanking God President Trump is okay this morning. I am praying for the ones in critical condition today - their doctors, their lives and praying that they pull through these injuries to perfect health. I am praying for the family of the deceased spectator. Their lives will never be the same. Praying that the press leaves this family in peace to grieve. Praying for our nation which i no longer recognize. Praying for all those without Jesus in this world - for He alone is our Peace.
Thank you for covering this story yesterday as well as this morning. You are right on, as usual, and I pray people with see this and THEN DO IT.
Some of the stories I have read this morning about the FBI being told about the shooter on the roof a short time before he really was shooting, and they did not get right on it, as well as a couple of others that kind of showed a relaxed FBI about getting things done, is really a sad thing about our current administration.
But today is a day for all of us to Pray and Thank the Lord, it was not worse than it was.
Blessings to you Erick
