CNN, Jake Tapper Face Growing Criticism Over ‘Abusive’ Anti-Gun ‘Show Trial’

CNN’s anti-gun town hall event and its left-wing moderator, Jake Tapper, are facing widespread criticism over what many saw as a bullying “show trial.” Tapper is being singled out for much of the criticism from those who say he remained silent as abusive personal attacks were hurled at Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch. Incredibly, Tapper also remained silent as his audience booed a rape victim.

At the Wednesday night spectacle, those in favor of protecting our Second Amendment civil rights were vastly outnumbered by an audience packed with hostile gun-haters and emotional questioners, including children.

According to various reports, the anti-gun participants were given scripted questions crafted by CNN. The last-place network has denied this by attacking a school shooting victim as a liar. His accusation, however, is credible given CNN’s long and disturbing history of using plants.

Throughout the hour, the audience heckled, howled, and poured derision on Loesch and Rubio. Other than admonishing his audience for calling Loesch a “murderer,” Tapper stood by in silent approval as abuse and personal attacks rained down on his outnumbered guests.

Anti-gun is anti-reality. I just watched an amazing classic analogy of reality denial in the movie Suddenly Last Summer. Listen for 7 minutes (until 32:00 on the timer) to this remarkable dialogue and see the similarity to today's blind utopists.

Collective Guilt, Political Scapegoating, Public Shaming.. Ah, all the tactics of Communist and Nazi Propaganda are well represented!

If the hard left ever gets full control of government it will finish corrupting the Judiciary and Law Enforcement agencies. The show trials will then become real. People will go to jail and some will die.

There once was a man named Jake Tapper
Who got most of his thoughts on the crapper
His hatred of Trump
Made him fall on his rump
And he wound up a second-rate rapper.

This is how persecution of Christians begins. It will not end there unless Christians gain some backbone. How? Read the Bible. Consider the trials St. Paul endured for the faith, but he gives all the credit to God: “I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me.”(Philippians 4:13)

What have we been doing? Caving is not witnessing, which every Christian is commanded to do by Jesus in Acts 1:8: “…The Holy Spirit will come to you, and you shall be my witnesses.” Read the Bible, and the Holy Spirit will come to you. Witnessing is not optional to followers of Jesus.

The Christian faith is always only one generation away from extinction. We must not let our children perish in Hell because of our indifference, laziness, and lack of faith.

-- The show trials will then become real. People will go to jail and some will die. --

All a question of which fraction of the trials are for show, and which are legit. We have show trials and investigations now. Also have contra-constitutional court decisions that determine substantial public and social policy, e.e., marriage, self defense, freedom of association, and freedom of conscience.

The only reason the people haven't entered a state of open rebellion is that a substantial fraction is using the government as a thug to get property for themselves (welfare state), and another substantial fraction would reject freedom for imaginary security.

More control tactics from the communist network:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/02/22/shooting_survivor_colton_haab_cnn_gave_me_scripted_question_after_denying_question_about_armed_guards.html

CNN aired a town hall on the Florida school shooting with Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) that included NRA’s Dana Loesch and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel that was moderated by Jake Tapper. Students and parents asked questions about gun control and school safety.

“I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions,” Haab said.

“Colton Haab, a member of the Junior ROTC who shielded classmates in the midst of terror says he did not get to share his experience,” WPLG’s Janine Stanwood explained.

“Colton wrote questions about school safety, suggested using veterans as armed school security guards but claims CNN wanted him to ask a scripted question instead so he decided not to go,” Stanwood reported.

CNN doesn’t hate guns, conservatives, freedom, whites, men, etc.

They simply don’t care about anyone or anything except destruction of the USA. Their motivation is rooted in hate and evil. Their owners will use any methods to destroy the USA.

I challenge everyone to name one positive thing they’ve ever done.
