Liberal Media Scream: Bernstein wants probe of why people support Trump
Washington Examiner - Opinion ^ | 7-8-2019 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 07/09/2019 6:46:51 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

This week’s Liberal Media Scream features journalist Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame calling for a deep dive on why people support President Trump.

On CNN’s Reliable Sources, Bernstein accused Trump of bringing a “cold civil war almost to the point of ignition” by promoting “undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions.”

And he urged an exploration of why people support him “no matter what he does, no matter how outrageous seemingly his conduct is.” He urged the media to do “some real reporting” by making “our table bigger in terms of our reportorial landscape.”

Carl Bernstein: “No president in the history of the United States in 246 years has expressed the kinds of ideas and thoughts and undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions that he has. We need to start connecting these dots. What do people in the country think of this and why do they think and support him, no matter what he does, no matter how outrageous seemingly his conduct is. We’ve got some real reporting to do ....”

Don't you think it is strange that these people ONLY see "undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions" when a Republican is in power?

No, don't answer that.

If that is what Bernstein's takeaway, it looks like Dems and their enablers HAVEN'T learned a thing from 2016 election.

Go ahead, investigate why people still support Trump till Nov 2020.

I can give you a three word answer to why I voted for President Trump in 2016:

“HE AIN’T HILLARY”

And why do I keep supporting him:

“HE AIN’T A CAREER POLITICIAN”

Yet another example of a member of the partisan media and beltway establishment who are complicit in sowing division and discord in this country turning around and trying to blame others for what they do.

Dear Carl,

First, he is not a communist like you and your buddies. Second, he wants to enforce the laws. Third, MAGA with getting government out of business. Fourth, Plain spoken.

While he has rough edges, he loves his country and is not a traitor to our founding like your people are consistently.

The whole Bernstein quote is a house built on lies.

The foundation is hatred.

The floors are fiction.

The walls are innuendo.

Roofed in fakery.

And shingled with deceit.

If you tell a lie big enough, many will believe.

However, Trump has followed the law much better than the previous President and many, many more.

He is beholden to no one.... you nor anyone else owns him as he is his own man.

What he meant to say but didn’t is ‘Why do people still support Trump in spite of our best efforts?’

Bernstein is a bit like Bernie, only not as alert or rational.

Unlike Bernie, who thinks he is striving to bring us to utopia, Bernstein is trying to relive his personal glory of the Nixon years. He isn’t close to being rational.

President Trump has provided America with no outrageous conduct in his role as POTUS. He has given us plenty of truth, and has lifted the veil off of the DC Swamp. And he is unabashedly pro-American. Those who oppose him seem to be highly irrational, filled with TDS.

“undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions.”

What concerns me, Carl, is thwarting the blatant “undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions” of the coercive Left. Look in the mirror.

Yes, but they are experts at manipulation. Most who support Dems actually do believe that all this ‘authoritarianism’ began under Trump, not Obama, who actually suppressed journalists, took away rights, imposed his will unconstitutionally, sicc’ed the IRS on political opponents, etc.

Totalitarians on the march

Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame calling for a deep dive on why people support President Trump"

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. - Declaration

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

He’s pleading for someone to do some investigative journalism. But, wait, Carl! YOU’RE allegedly an investigative journalist! Why don’t YOU do it?? Don’t have time while you’re writing another smear book to keep up with the mortgage payments?

Supporting a candidate is not a crime (although communists will imprison those who don’t support “the party”). This is America, Carl! Last I checked, we get to support any candidate who tickles our fancy as long as they meet the qualifications.

Why?

Probably because we can’t stand the baby kinking, poofter loving, Islam importing, Commie bastard, USA last evil pieces of shit that compromise the DNC, that’s why.

I’d rather be a Deplorable than a Turd Worlder.

Dear Dumb Dumb Presstitute,

How many Elected Officials in the Federal Government are Beholden to the Lobbyists for Financing their Political Careers??

How Many Elected Federal Officials become Very Wealthy almost overnight after being elected to Federal Office??

If you put the pipe down for a few weeks the answers will be obvious.

“Baby killing” ... darn typos ... but with the pedophiles on the Left “baby kinking” might work too.
