Independent Journal Review (IJR) collected a few unintentionally hilarious Twitter responses from journalists who reported being shaken by President Donald Trump’s aggressiveness in an extraordinary press conference Tuesday that was centered on questions about the weekend’s violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Vanity Fair reporter Gabriel Sherman was actually physically ill: “I am totally rattled by that presser. Chest tight, stomach queasy. Feel sick”:
Perhaps he should have his testosterone checked. It seems seriously depleted. But then, he does write for Vanity Fair.
Magazine editor David Lytle tweeted his empathy for Sherman: “I vomited on election night. Today, I bawled for 20 minutes. The stress and anxiety brought on by a threatening president is overwhelming”:
NBC’s Chuck Todd reportedly said on the air that the press conference gave him “the wrong kind of chills.”
“Honestly I’m a bit shaken by what I just heard, and I suspect it’s not just me,” he added.
Yahoo News editor Garance Franke-Ruta accused the President of “defending the nighttime white supremacist protest at UVA with torches”
CNN’s Brian Stelter echoed this concern, saying that “Trump risks sounding like a spokesman for the Unite the Right rally right now”
Trump claimed that “both sides” were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville, meaning the white supremacists and the “alt-left” radicals. That fair and balanced approach wasn’t what the left-leaning media wanted to hear.

yet we WATCH them??? WHY does ANYONE give them $$ and support by turning the dial on??
The Truth is like acid to them....they will lose it even more and come out in favor of the violence of their Leftist brethren and more right minded People will begin to see more clearly what their Party stands for. That will make them behave even uglier and more rabidly.
First of all, this shows what a bunch of weak people they are. They are not helping themselves or their Leftist cause, for which we should all be grateful.
However, cutting to the substance of why they are disturbed, which is President Trump actually having the guts to make sure that his message is heard (despite the media’s incredibly disrespectful constant attempts to interrupt him), that he won’t be bullied by the press, that there ARE 2 sides to this story in Charlottesville, one of which the media refuse to cover - on all of those scores, I can understand why they are very ill at ease. It means that their days of dominating politicians who don’t kowtow to them are over, as are their days of setting or heavily influencing politicians who represent WE THE PEOPLE - those days are GONE...and good riddance!
Thank you, President Trump, for having both the good sense to be fair and find out the entire story, and also for having the intestinal fortitude to slam the media, who so richly deserve that treatment.
What’s worse, the fact that they bawled and barfed, or the fact that they trumpet it to everyone they can find?
Why? The racist left has declared war on us. They must be destroyed.
“made me smile”
Me, too...I especially enjoyed this:
“I vomited on election night. Today, I bawled for 20 minutes. The stress and anxiety brought on by a threatening president is overwhelming”
Reckon they don’t know how we’re laughing at them — and that we love Pres. Trump even more for catching the poo they’re flinging and throwing it right back in their faces for us?
“Odd, odd... and the same press was so in love with Obama. They lost their objectivism.”
President Trump is the first President for 28 years that they haven't controlled. I do think a majority of real people get it, that the media is part of the scheme to take away our identity as a nation and our freedoms.
“How many of these reporter “guys” had to replace their panties yesterday?”
If only they had known earlier the content of DJT’s speech they could’ve stocked up on Depends. Simple panties (for panty waists) will not do the job.
"Do White Southerners Love Their Children, Too?"
Snowflakes, snowflakes, precious little cupcakes. Fruit cakes, fruit cakes they all fall down.
Sorry, that sounded a little childish but mainstream media acts like children.
They are indeed.
Do these idiots sit in these pressers with their fingers in their ears?
At what point can these morons be hit with either libel or slander charges?
From last night:
Laura says Trump called out the neo-Nazi’s and the Klan in his Monday statement.
Krauthammer says that was on a teleprompter and that Trump didn’t condemn the Klan and Nazi’s on Saturday because “it’s not what’s in his heart.”
Laura says “you can read hearts? Wow!”
:: this drive to erase history ::
Especially, the history of the Civil War which emanated from slavery but was actually fought over a correct/incorrect interpretation the 10th Amendment by a branch ^other than the SCOTUS.
If we “erase that history, BLM must, therefore and necessarily, explain why MLK, Jr. died. And, shouldn’t we also remove MLK,Jr.’s thousands of memorials as they are reminders of that “missing time in history” (aka, triggers)?
I missed something. What if anything did the President say that was incorrect? Please inform.
I watched the whole thing, these media blowhards are nuts. He said nothing wrong during that interview. The press was way more combative to him then he was to them.
Both. Equally reprehensible IMO.
They’re shaken because Trump told the truth and didn’t let them control the narrative while he was speaking.
Meanwhile, Steve Hayes still isn’t
