David Brooks Conjures Up Imaginary Trump Supporter for Fake Interview
Newsbusters ^ | October 5, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 10/06/2019 5:32:24 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

Suppose you need to interview a Trump supporter for the New York Times? Well, you certainly can't look to your own staff for such a person because they don't exist due to the almost total lack of political diversity at that newspaper. Even the "conservatives" there are all Never Trumpers. 

So what to do when a Trump supporter needs to be found for an interview? Easy! Just invent such a person and then stack the deck against him during the completely imaginary interview.

That is exactly what David Brooks did on Thursday in "Why Trump Voters Stick With Him." The subtitle, "An imagined conversation with Flyover Man," reveals that Brooks did not have to (yeeccch!) endure actually having to be in the presence of someone he would consider to be a deplorable.

I wonder what it would be like walking into the NYT newsroom while wearing a MAGA hat.

Yes,Mr Brooks...I consider myself to be very much "middle America".I live in a suburb of a major city. I had a long career in health care during which I made a nice,but far from huge,salary. I drive a reasonably nice car,I own my own home,I travel,I eat well,I enjoy life.

And you know what,Mr Brooks? I've never worked in showbiz,in academia or in "journalism" and the only government paychecks I've ever received said "United States Department of Defense" on the top.You might remember..."Selective Service".

Oh,and I forgot to mention...I'm not a pervert or a wetback.

So it stands to reason that I'd enthusiastically support the President.

Like walking into an Eagles game wearing a Cowboys jersey, I'd imagine.

I have gone from crawling over 100 yards of broken glass to crawling over a hundred MILES to vote for President Trump.

So have 65,000,000 million other Trump voters.

This is exactly the kind of stunt Norman Lear pulled with “All in the Family.”

But I guess they have security

David Brooks, Paul Krugman, NY Slimes.

Who cares? It's all fake news, PJ-Comix, and we all know it.

Thanks for revealing Brook's fakery.

It's not hard to explain why we stand with president Trump. One of the main reasons is that he is not a worthless lowlife politician. He also is not a fraud like fake conservative liars like the douchebag David Brooks. President Trump is a real man who loves America. He has all the right assholes hating him.

Brooks probably still sleeps with 0bama’s “well-creased trousers” under his pillow.

Good analogy. Flyover Man is Archie Bunker.

The progressives’ entire worldview is false, pretend, theater of their minds. And they now control much, have large powers, control our schools and media.

Domestic enemies of Constitutional America and PDJT are progressives.

An imagined conversation. Just like Mr shiff’s committee reading of the Ukraine call.

Really, how hard is it to fly to St Louis, drive an hour west of town and sit in a diner with the locals?

This is an all out war. They are trying to wear us down with the endless fake news. I’m getting tendonitis in my middle finger from all the Sunday news crap.

Unnamed Sources is such a busy he/she/it.

He/she/it works 24/7 for all liberal tv stations and major fish wraps lying about our President and having those lies pose as news!

Of course this occurs/happens only in the drugged out and AIDS/STD infected minds of the so called reporters writing the fake news.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some of those progressives wear R jerseys and are pretending to be allies of President Trump.
Flimsey Grahamnesty has voted to abandon the rule of law THREE times with amnesty for illegal aliens.
Anyone who supports surrendering the country is a progressive.
