THE OFFENSE

The Fake News (and unhinged, sick Democrats) have spent years peddling reckless, inflammatory, and escalating rhetoric about President Trump, his Administration, and tens of millions of Americans — smearing them as “fascists,” “Nazis,” and “threats.”

THE TRUTH

This toxic environment has repeatedly incited their supporters to violence — most recently at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, when another Radical Left lunatic attempted to assassinate President Trump in the third such attack in under two years.

Examples of degenerate Fake News figureheads spewing such disgusting rhetoric include:

• Jimmy Kimmel stating — just days before Saturday’s assassination attempt — that First Lady Melania Trump had “a glow like an expectant widow.”
• Stephen Colbert claiming “Donald Trump is a fascist.”
• Rachel Maddow calling President Trump an “authoritarian leader” attempting an “overthrow of the U.S. government.”
• James Carville suggesting President Trump would “institute a fascist regime.”
• Hassan Piker lamenting that President Trump is alive and remarking that it would be “pretty funny” if he died.
• Joe Scarborough claiming that President Trump has gone “full-on Hitler.”
• Jonathan Chait stating that “[President] Trump is a threat to democracy, and saying so is not incitement.”
• Lemon declaring that “the GOP needs to burn to the ground” and that President Trump is “racist.”
• Joy Reid, “forget Trumpism, it’s neo-fascism.”
• Joy Reid stated that, under President Trump, fascism is “already here.”
• Rick Wilson stated that the donor class must “go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.”

KEY POINTS

• The repeated attempts on President Trump’s life are the predictable result of the Fake News’s relentlessness smear campaign.
