CNN: Trump the Equivalent of Secessionist Slave States for Challenging Election!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/10/2020 8:05:58 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

CNN getting bored by all the shopworn Trump/Hitler analogies? Searching for a new metaphor with which to attack the president?

On this morning's New Day, co-host John Berman strained logic and analogy beyond the breaking point by claiming that in joining the Texas lawsuit challenging election results in other states, President Trump has somehow made himself . . . the equivalent of the secessionist slave states in the Civil War!

Get the rest of the story and view the video.

So wait. He’s saying that Trump wants to hang on to slavery?

The meltdown of the media is a big story here.

CNN insults 74 million Trump voters everyday. It is pure propaganda to read Democrat talking points day after day, without questioning them.

Strangely, the slave states of the eighteen hundreds are now the free states, fighting for the rights of all citizens.

Another red herring by the Pravda media which refuses to discuss the merits of the Texas lawsuit.

Actually, it’s the opposite you idiot hypocrite liars. Trump and Texas and 18 other states are PRESERVING the Union by telling the lawbreaking states to abide by the SAME agreed Constitutional laws. This goes for Cornyn as well - John - it’s not absurd. It’s FOLLOWING THE LAW!

No, CNN! You are projecting, again. Trump is trying to set your slaves free.

Lincoln got them releaed from the demoKKKrat plantation the first time. Your guys got them back on the plantation, and now Trump is going to free them again.

flipped on CNN and FOX back and forth a few times this morning... FOX is talking about two topics; Hunter’s investigation and Swalwell’s Chinese spy girlfriend/aide. CNN is nothing but COVID-19 vaccine distribution and safety. No mention of Hunter, Supreme Court, or Swalwell.

actually, disenfranchising legitimate voters is an act of secession from the USA.

These states have chosen a process outside the Constitution which, for those of us choosing to follow the Constitution, deprives us all of the right of our vote.

As per usual, the Left accusing the rest of us, precisely of that which they are doing. PROJECTION
