Where are the Reince Priebus Hit Pieces? [wolf in sheep's clothing?]

Reince Priebus is the White House Chief of Staff. No one is closer to President Trump. Mike Cernovich is an author and filmmaker far removed from the Administration. Why has the media written more hit pieces about me than about Reince? The media isn’t barking at Reince. Why?

Fans of Sherlock Holmes will recognize the dog that didn’t bark allusion, which comes from The Adventures of Silver Blaze, a story involving the murder of a horse trainer and the disappearance of race horse.

Police initially suspect a stranger stole the horse, which Holmes considered curious as a guard dog was never heard barking during the horse’s disappearance.

Gregory (Scotland Yard detective): “Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?”
Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”
Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.”
Holmes: “That was the curious incident.”

As Holmes explains: “I had grasped the significance of the silence of the dog, for one true inference invariably suggests others…. Obviously the midnight visitor was someone whom the dog knew well.”

There are leaks coming from the White House, and one cannot find any shortage of hit pieces on General Flynn, Steve Bannon, Steven Miller, and Kellyanne Conway.

CNN, WaPo, and the New York Times has gone after me several times, and I have nothing to do with the current Administration.

Where are the fake news media hit pieces on Reince Priebus? Why isn’t the media dog barking?

Perhaps they know him all too well.

Have you been even following politics for the past 8 years.? The Tea Party got in enough Republicans to at least slow down Obama. The Freedom
caucus were a thorn in the side to the main stream Republicans in Cingress. But what we did really well is take back local state houses and counties. We worked so hard. People, like myself, who never were involved in politics who became Precinct Committeemen, voted conservative locally and they voted conservatively at State and definitely affected Washington. We did that. Then we ran candidates for local office, like me and we won. Donald Trump did not happen in a vacuum. He was the product of 8 years of very hard work by a lot of people.

There is no reason to start throwing Priebus under the bus.

Reince Priebus has never been very visible. And I don’t recall any media hit pieces on him [ever]. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

I think it might be due to his name! It’s not only odd, but who can pronounce it?

Donald Trump did not happen in a vacuum. He was the product of 8 years of very hard work by a lot of people.

***********

Grassroots efforts are certainly important. As I said, I participated and contributed significantly to the Tea Party movement. But your statement that “he was the product” of hard work by others is simply not the whole story of the Trump phenomenon. Much of what he accomplished was WITHOUT the benefit of the party apparatus or their support.

Trump is wealthy and used a lot of his own money to fund much of his expensive campaign. He also leveraged his own celebrity “star power” to gain attention and used his savvy media skills to masterfully control the message. His familiarity with TV productions was a huge and undeniable asset.

Trump was indefatigable on the campaign trail. His energy was boundless and his drive unstoppable. And he benefited greatly from the strength of his family bonds and their collective wisdom. His son-in-law Jared Kushner was particularly brilliant in helping Trump to leverage the power of technology during the campaign. (If you’re not familiar with the impact of Kushner’s unique talents, you should read up on it. He work was nothing short of pivotal.)

Donald J. Trump made political history. Many books will be written about his rise against all odds. In short, Trump was a man of destiny and vision, and a force of nature whose ascendancy to the presidency was largely the result of his own initiative. He convinced the American people to believe in him.

With regard to your curiously absurd question as to whether I have been following politics, clearly I have been following it close enough to see the big picture and the totality of forces that put Trump in the White House.
