A day after a stirring speech at Mount Rushmore, the liberal media reacted to by spewing hate, lies, and venom. President Donald Trump spoke Saturday night from the White House and called out them out for “falsely and consistently label[ing] their opponents as racists” and declared that their attacks on America as racist “slander” those who’ve fought and died for the country.
ABC, MSNBC, The New York Times, and Washington Post to name a few wildly distorted Trump’s Friday remarks, so the President had enough and took nearly three and a half minutes to “say a word to those in the media who falsely and consistently label their opponents as racists, who condemn patriotic citizens who offer a clear and truthful defense of American unity.”
Trump added that such Americans “want a clear and faithful defense of American history...unity,” but sadly the America-hating liberal media aren’t interested in that.
Therefore, Trump ruled: “When you level these false charges, you not only slander me, you not only slander the American people but you slander generations of heroes who gave their lives for America.”
Trump all but called liberal journalists cowards and wimps, insisting that those who’ve died for America are “much braver and more principled than you.”
And when the liberal media level such hatred at the country, they’re “slandering young men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima and those who perished fighting for freedom in the Civil War.”
Trump continued (click “expand”):
You slander them. You are dishonoring their great legacy and their memory by insisting that they fought for racism and they fought for oppression. They didn't fight for those things. They fought for the exact opposite. We will not let the legacy of these heroes be tarnished by you. The more you lie, the more you slander, the more you try to demean and divide, the more we will work hard [sic] to tell the truth and we will win. [APPLAUSE] The more you lie, and demean and collude, the more credibility you lose. We want to bring the country together and a free and open media will make this task a very easy one. Our country will be united.
After all, what do we all want? We want a strong military, great education, housing, low taxes, law and order. We want safety. We want equal justice. We want religious liberty. We want faith and family and living in great communities and happy communities and safe communities and we want great jobs and we want to be respected by the rest world, not taken advantage of by the rest of the world which has gone on for decade after decade. We should all want the same thing. How can it be any different than those things?
Capping off that portion of the speech, Trump gave the press one final warning: “The more bitter you become, the more we will appeal to love and patriotism and the more we will rise above your hate to build a better future for every child in our great country.”
Seeing as how liberals have refused to back down on their hatred for this country, it’s safe to say they refused to heed the President’s advice and continue “slander[ing]” their fellow Americans who feel blessed to have been born in and live in the greatest country ever known to man.
For while many people believe America can do even better and its best days are yet to come, the far-left refuses to hold those two ideas in concert, instead demeaning this great land and people as irredeemable without a thorough reeducation.
