Redditor Behind Trump vs CNN Wrestling Meme Apologizes: ‘I Am in No Way This Kind of Person’
http://www.thewrap.com/redditor-trump-vs-cnn-meme-apologizes/ ^

Posted on 07/04/2017 5:26:28 PM PDT by Stopthethreat

The redditor who took credit for creating the infamous meme featuring Donald Trump beating up CNN in a wrestling match is sorry for the reactions the video sparked, and has taken to Reddit today in order to apologize.

“I would also like to apologize for the posts made that were racist, bigoted, and anti-semetic [sic]. I am in no way this kind of person, I love and accept people of all walks of life and have done so for my entire life.”

I’d consider the possibility he’s trolling.

CNN is on the ropes. To have the creator denounce his vid and apologize would be a HUGE fake win for them. You think they made him an offer he couldnt refuse?

The “apology” he allegedly wrote is a totally different writing style than his other r/T_D posts....reads like it was written by a lawyer, not the kid himself.

My bet is that the poor kid was doxxed (had his personal info/name/address/phone number exposed), and is afraid for his life. The full force of the Left is coming down on him.

I’m worried about his physical safety.

“The video was not racist or bigoted or anti Semitic so what is he apologizing for?”

I agree. I do not understand this either.

Groveling to these people only encourages more of it. I bet he was coerced into it in some way.

Yipe, but that is how the left operates.

And now it seems that “Spez” (the user name of Reddit CEO Steve Huffman) is removing all posts on The_Donald that attempt to discuss what happened to the kid who made the video.

I was following two active threads that went up in the last couple of hours, and they both have gone “poof.”

Spez has a history of messing with The_Donald, and has even been caught actively editing members posts.

I read that his objectionable posts were on another board (not The_Donald and maybe not even reddit).

No. The left would NEVER resort to violence

He didn’t. Notice I didn’t say he had.
Just pointing out media’s incentive to do so.

This is so simple. Trump obviously won't apologize. The left needs contrition, from anyone, whether it makes sense or not. Their hair is on fire, and they don't know what to do.

Very useful list that guy put together, thanks for the link!

FreeRepublic, and r/The_Donald are my main go-to sources for news and information these days. :-D

Why do people like this feel they have to apologize.

“Never Complain, Never Explain” words to live by, Henry Ford II’s favorite motto.
