Anti-Trump press has less credibility than Jussie Smollett right now
National Post ^ | March 29, 2019 | Rex Murphy

Remember Michael Avenatti? He’s the lawyer (I’m not being kind — I may need “weasel” further down the column) who unleashed the outrageous allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the Donald Trump nominee for the Supreme Court, claiming Kavanaugh organized and participated in “gang rapes” of Avenatti’s client, Julie Swetnick. The charges were as preposterous as they were savage.

Of course the whole buzzing hive of the dementedly anti-Trump press not only received those charges, and gave them air and headline, but because the allegations gave fresh oxygen to their calumnies against Trump, they — the stalwart guardians of the First Amendment, the press — upgraded Avenatti in a flash to Truth-teller, warrior-priest against the dark lord of the Trump Tower.

Kavanaugh’s spotless reputation — to hell with that. The mortification of his wife and children — who cares? The truth? Hey, we might bring down Trump, what’s truth if it impedes the takedown?

The “bloated Dunciad” of the mass media (I owe the phrase to my comrade columnist Conrad Black, a lighthouse in a tempest) bestowed on Avenatti the prestige of their attention. In numberless interviews they tried to pawn off this conniving wretch as a realistic presidential candidate for 2020. Avenatti ran a presidential exploratory campaign! “Oh, Judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason.”

Well, despite the swells and heavy waves from Justin Trudeau’s ever-expanding SNC-Lavalin woes, the news floated north last week that Avenatti had been arrested, in two separate cases, for allegedly trying to extort more than $25 million from Nike Inc., embezzling money from a client and defrauding a bank.

Even his more infamous client, the carnal exhibitionist with the cartoon name, Stormy Daniels, was heard keening a lament of crusader Avenatti’s lies, libels and license.

I trust MSM less than Flint Michigan tap water. Or Bill Cosby mixing me a drink.

lol

I was attacked on my way home by two men with white face on and Haitian accents and I was doused with gatorade. It stung.

Then they gave me a wedgie.

They called me the N word and other horrible things. And I’m WHITE!

Then they wrote on my forehand FATSO, which I feel was completely uncalled for.

I’ll be on CNN tonight.

Anderson Cooper explaining how CNN was there for Roger Stone’s arrest has a lot in common with the Smollett explanation.

I didn’t want to brag :)

The Purple Nurple has left me feeling violated.

I may 258 years of therapy.

Rex is a RARE one in Canada.

“Hating Trump is a pathetic state of mind far more than the self-flattering notion that it is evidence of civic virtue. “
