BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — A day after defending his use of social media as befitting a “modern day” president, President Trump appeared to promote violence against CNN in a tweet.
Trump, who is on vacation at his Bedminster golf resort, posted on Twitter an old video clip of him performing in a WWE professional wrestling match, but with a CNN logo superimposed on the head of his opponent. In the clip, Trump is shown slamming the CNN avatar to the ground and pounding him with punches and elbows to the head. Trump added the hastags #FraudNewsCNN and #FNN, for “fraud news network.”

Has that video been independently verified?
That's all I heard from the talking heads at Faux News Channel whenever they talked about the recent James O'Keefe videos.

Each and every day the WaPo “journo-lists” prove that they live way to the left on the Bell Curve.

Professional wrestling incites violence. Huh. I wonder why you never hear about huge brawls breaking out after a pro wrestling event like you do after a rap concert.

But, but, but the media hate speech had NOTHING to do with shooting a congressman at a baseball field.

Well, that’ll cover the next Democrat who goes on the hunt to kill Republicans, it’s obviously Trump’s fault for tweeting about beating up CNN...

Just like the NRA ad “appear(ed) to” incite violence in spite of it being a clear condemnation of violence (but somehow saying “the only way to fight the violence of lies is with the clenched fist of truth” incites violence, the left claims).
The only violence done here, Mr. David
Midland, is the violence the left has done to the truth; a reminder of same is not violence against you.

It’s a joke. It’s WWE. The fact that this needs to be explained to WaPo makes me wonder if they think WWE is real wrestling.
