New Yorker Cover Depicts Trump and Giuliani as Mobsters Carrying Out a Hit on Uncle Sam
Mediaite ^ | September 27, 2019 | Colby Hall

Barry Blitt is a national treasure, at least in the eyes of the readers of The New Yorker magazine.

The frequent illustrator of the trenchantly humorous (humorously trenchant) cover art was enlisted to put the past week of Trump-Giuliani political drama and did so in a starkly mob-themed way. To wit:

The New Yorker described Blitt’s inspiration:

On Tuesday, Nancy Pelosi announced that the House of Representatives would be pursuing a formal impeachment inquiry against President Trump. The news came after a whistle-blower’s complaint, which was released to the public on Thursday and alleges that Trump—with the help of Rudy Giuliani—has been using “the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 election.” Barry Blitt, ever the first responder, takes on the drama in the cover for next week’s magazine.

It’s peculiar how liberals routinely accuse everyone else of being them and doing what they do.

Do they know any other trick?

Yes,I saw, it’s like they all randomly came up with a variation of the exact same description all by themselves and clearly are not reading a script provided to them by George Soros.

They do it all the time. Rush plays it on his show. They are given a phrase and they repeat it over and over. So obvious. Not an original thought among them.

It’s mass mind control, is what it is.

Plant the seed you want to grow in the form or a word or phrase repeated over and over.

Impeachment, iMPEACHMENT, ImPeAcHmEnTm impeachMENT, IMPEACHment and on and on and on and on...

This “mob” theme is a talking point that started soon after the call transcript was released. It is 100% BS.

I think it’s actually an Alinsky-type dig at Rudy - since he ferociously went after the Mob and Crime bosses when he was a US DA - how he built his stellar reputation of Integrity.

So they’re trying to use the thing that built him up to smear him.

It’s pure Evil.

I don’t think so. The “mob” theme appeared in many places right after the transcript appeared. The attack is clearly directed at Trump.

I would really like to see how the media gets it’s talking points.

Tipping point.
The walls are closing in.
Trump is a mobster.

All the media outlets get the memo and they run with the new term when told to do so. All at the same time.

Free press? Hardly. The press is bought and paid for.

It's because Rudy is involved.

They are bigots.
