Several leftist movie stars lectured about the allegedly villainous law-enforcement activities of ICE on the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards. They wore "Be Good" pins to mourn Renee Good and mourned of "terrorized" immigrants. Why should we care what they think?
MRCTV managing editor Brittany Hughes and NewsBusters contributor Steve Malzberg chimed in on the ICE frenzy. Brittany made a video about actor Mark Ruffalo, who was mysteriously cast at the Incredible Hulk, was claimed he was one of many Americans who are "terrorized and scared" by ICE, and what they're doing to enforce the law is "not American." She made the point that these celebrity humanitarians didn't wear a pin for women like Maryland's Dacara Thompson, who was raped and murdered at 19 by an illegal immigrant. Not even the local news cared. The Washington Post could only do two perfunctory stories.
Steve wrote on Fox's The Five, liberal Jessica Tarlov argued that thousands of anti-ICE protesters being painted “as all blue haired wine-mom kooks is completely misguided and makes you look a little bit blind.” Gutfeld told her that protest groups “desire chaos,” and Watters knocked women who end up protecting criminal migrants. Who is disparaging "blue-haired wine mom kooks"? And why do all of them watch Nicolle Wallace and The View?
Speaking of The View, they were acting shocked that the president "flipped the bird" at an autoworker in Detroit who called him a pedophile protector. It's not "presidential." Historically, people expect a president to act dignified, but everyone who voted to put Trump in the White House knew what they were getting. He likes sparring, trolling, and mocking people.
Flipping the bird at Trump also makes you a hero. During the first term, Juli Briskman flipped the bird at Trump's motorcade while she was bicycling. Her employer fired her after she celebrated her actions on social media. Stephen Colbert drew whoops from his crowd for claiming "No one has summed up the mood of the country better, long may she wave! Giving people the finger? "That’s how we say ‘hello’ in New York."
Juli Briskman used that fame to get elected in Virginia to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, where she's now vice chair.
