The View host argues fake, violent Trump video should 'be illegal'
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 14, 2019 | John Gage

Posted on 10/14/2019 9:33:59 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

ABC's The View host Sunny Hostin believes a fake video of President Trump slaying his political enemies should be illegal for inciting violence.

"I think for me, this would be illegal because, you know, wouldn’t that tend to incite violence against these particular politicians?" Hostin said Monday on the show. "Yes!" another host chimed in before Meghan McCain compared the video's potential to incite violence to Republican Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise getting shot at a congressional baseball practice in 2017.

"If something happens to one of these people because, and by the way, Steve Scalise was shot by a complete radical, crazy person and almost died. This does happen," McCain said. "The idea we’re going to be casual about it and, 'Oh, you’re just being a snowflake and sensitive,' these are real people. I’m sure Maxine Waters’ family feels the same way I do right now."

The fake video portrayed members of the media, Democrats, and Republican adversaries of Trump being shot and killed. The McCain family, as well as many members of the media, condemned the video, which was played at a conference at one of Trump's resorts last week. The Trump campaign, as well as his press secretary, said they disavowed the video.

One of them. When I was a supervisor at the unemployment office I knew better than to turn off or change the channel on Judge Judy, The View and other such shows in the waiting room.

Yet, during the Bush presidency there was a feature length Hollywood movie made about Bush being assassinated. And is wasn’t a satire. Don’t recall them complaining about that on the view.

The video in question is exactly like the ones you posted, but uses the scene from The Kingmen where a Baptist Church goes berserk and everyone is killed.

Same people think if the socialists do the same...or show severed head that is free speech.

They only think it should be illegal if not done by their people.

Common theme with the socialists is free speech for them but not for us.

This doesn’t apply to ABC’s fake video of turkish troops slaughtering kurds, but is really just stock footage of the Knob Creek machinegun shoot in Kentucky. Those sorts of fake videos are fine.

That’s why this whole thing is a joke. It was originally a scene from a Hollywood movie.

The left: “Anything I don’t like should be illegal.”

A cup o’ fascism anyone?

Isn’t this the same folks who made the ‘300’ parody? With Trump and Obama? That was pretty good. I have not seen John Wick yet, but I hear its good.
