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.

My God, these media folks are insane.
I could care less what they think or the Bushies, or the rest of the UniParty scum. When you are in the right, as Trump is, the World be damned.
This is the way bullies act when they get punched in the nose.
Trump saying ‘There were GOOD people on both sides’ was a big mistake.
Gave Dems/MSM the chance to play Trump saying that with the White-ists marching in the background with torches chanting anti-Jewish chants, which they were doing immediately.
Saying ‘There were BAD people on both sides’ is easier to defend.
Of course as I posted we have Republicans claiming that is not true either,
The truth can be painful for some people. Bullies always reveal their weakness when people fight back. The media has been the biggest bully in our culture for years. They’ve created this false standard that says they ask whatever questions they want to but never have to answer questions of their own. No more. They’ve been protected by this phony sanctimony which has protected them from criticism and has prevented people from fighting back for too long.
Get used to it losers. You’re not a special class of citizenry. You’re no more protected by the Constitution than I am, or the president for that matter.
These reporters are use to hearing their past president say nice things like ‘the future of America must not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam’
This is a big change for them. Please try and understand.

I won’t listen to a word out of that old fraud.
CNN tried the KKK angel and it blew up in their faces.
Trump knew exactly what the subject of the Goebbelsmedia questions would be.
It allowed him to hammer them mercilessly and show them up yet again.
Calling Wiley Coyote to the white phone.
He need say no more about Charlottesville but accentuate the violence of the Left. He has seen more of it than anyone.
One of the reasons he was elected was because of the Left riots. People said that is his opposition? He’s got my vote.
Yes. I was listening on the radio and later watched it.
He used his MAGA hammer of truth and they were shrieking like something demonic..really something to hear!!
I knew they were going to counter attack and spin their lies, but I didn’t expect them to fall apart and cry about it. Liars and criers is all they are.
I remember during the election, DT said something about starting his own Internet station and speaking directly to the people. I don’t know how he’d accomplish something like that, with everything going on, but wish he would find a way.
I am freakin’ done with DRUDGE! This was the last straw! The haters headline article is a LIE! (Rush needs to stop reading Drudge,too!) PDJT shut down his two councils NOT because the members were All deserting him, but because they were under pressure from Leftists and he wanted to spare them.
And I’m done with the COWARDS on ‘The Five’! What a disappointment Jesse and Greg were last night.. I turned them off even before they finished their opening statements. They care more about princess Perino’s little feelings and siding with her than they do about the Truth.. Or maybe they are just AFRAID if massive criticism!
So Sick of this Sh*t!
No, it’s a regurgitation from last year. Back then, Trump was “literally Hitler”.
They played the “race card”,
then the “pussy grab” card,
then the “Russian collusion” card,
now it’s full circle, back to the “race card”.
The good news, the “race card” was played before the election, and had little to no impact.
Ayn Rand, George Orwell and Aldous Huxley would not be proud of the society we have. But they would have no problem recognizing it.
and rogue republicans.
But I agree with you that sometimes he should stop talking. As Ingraham said, he is supposed to make America feel better, not to try to win every debate point himself. It appears that Anti-Trump inc. suggested that Nazis in the rally are his supporters, and he fell into the trap. Maybe he should have his team argue the fine points.
