Trump’s comments about previous Rep. Liz Cheney and the Democrats ‘ advertising push absolutely contradict those that were made in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
Trump referred to Cheney as a “radical battle bird” and emphasized how simple it is to make choices about the lives of American soldiers in an office setting without any experience dealing with the death and life-changing effects of decisions made in Washington.
This place her with a shotgun in her hands while she is standing with nine barrels pointed at her. Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the weapons are trained on her face”, Trump said. ” You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington, in a great building saying,’ Oh, gee, also, this send — let’s send 10, 000 troops straight into the mouth of the enemy.'”
Anyone who has a basic understanding of English and a little perspective can understand what Trump was trying to say. However, you do n’t have to imagine how blatantly the dog-faced pony-soldier media muddled that message, which is that we should be careful with our troops ‘ precious lives, into something sinister.
” He’s saying very directly and unequivocally that Liz Cheney should be shot, may be executed by firing squad”, Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, said in a CNN discussion. ” Let’s execute a political opponent, who happens to be a woman, because I do n’t like her. Does that encourage his coalition’s citizens with low voter probabilities to cast ballots? I honestly do n’t think so”.  ,
Goldberg later wrote on X that he was “wrong” — while being sure to further denigrate Trump and Trump’s defenders, adding,” ]I ] t’s worth noting that a lot of the criticism about my inaccuracy is itself somewhat inaccurate, or at least incomplete, given my correction”.
Oh, boohoo. Goldberg may have been the worst criminal, but he was not the only one.
CNN anchor Kasie Hunt said Trump is “escalating his aggressive rhetoric, suggesting one of his most notable critics, past Congresswoman Liz Cheney, may get fired upon”. The show’s homepage blared,” Trump rages that’ battle hawk ‘ Liz Cheney does get fired upon”.
Here’s another false news article from CNN’s Eric Bradner:” Trump says ‘ war bird ‘ Liz Cheney should been fired upon in intensification of aggressive rhetoric against his opponents”.
CNN’s Jim Acosta said Trump’s post “obviously evokes images of a firing squad. It evokes images of an murder” during a section with the chyron:” Trump: Liz Cheney May Be Shot With’ Guns Trained On Her Confront.'” With a unique board, Acosta’s lies got more fanciful:” So Donald Trump talking about executing Liz Cheney — and let’s just be clear, when you talk about nine barrels, I’m sad, for all the folks out there who want to party on the mind of a wire, that is what he is talking about, an implementation fantasy”.
Politico’s Andrew Howard went with this for his headline:” Suggesting’ nine barrels shooting’ at Cheney, Trump reverts to violent rhetoric”.
Network host and Politico bureau chief Jonathan Lemire described Trump’s comments as “dangerous” and claimed that his Cheney critiques used “violent war imagery” after airing only a portion of the soundbite on MSNBC on Friday morning.
The Washington Post’s Aaron Blake lied when CNN’s Kate Sullivan dishonestly posted a partial, non-contextualized clip of Trump’s comments on X:” Republicans have spent >, 2 weeks assuring that Trump was n’t talking about using violence against his political opponents. Now he paints just such a scene”.
Reuters propagandists Andy Sullivan and Susan Heavey claimed that Trump “draws outrage” by saying that Cheney should have guns” trained on her face.”
National Review’s Jim Geraghty shared the aforementioned Reuters article on X, disparaging Trump and his supporters by writing,” If Trump loses _again_, the GOP is done with him, right? We’re not gonna waste the 2028 cycle on another round with Captain-Says-Stupid-S***, right”?
” Trump gonna call for Liz Cheney to face a firing squad”, Politico Senior Political Columnist Jonathan Martin wrote on X, adding,” And, man, if you think Donald Trump’s actual beef w Liz Cheney is her foreign policy, you’re clearly not tired of rationalizing”!
” Trump Fantasizes About Guns Pointed at Liz Cheney’s Face”, read the headline from Nikki McCann Ramirez, a “politics reporter” for Rolling Stone.
Her article was tagged with the category” Deranged”. How fitting. That’s how you could describe all of this unhinged propaganda.
