The cast of MSNBC's Morning Joe like to view themselves as the defenders of truth and justice in an age when such ideals are supposedly under attack by President Trump. Any presidential hyperbole is condemned as a lie, while their own hyperbole is speaking truth to power.
As part of their panel on the Michael Cohen testimony, the morning show had on Cohen's friend Donny Deutsch who resurrected the old, evidence-free talking point that if Trump were to be impeached or lose in 2020, he would not go peacefully.
Deutsch declared that in 2016, "When he thought he was going to lose, he was teeing it up for a few days." He then went on to claim that Trump could do, "Whatever inner move you think this guy is capable of doing to create a civil war." He then said with a straight face, "I'm not speaking hyperbole."
Co-host Willie Geist agreed that Trump would not accept the results of the election were he to lose, "Does anyone doubt that Donald Trump would do that, even if he loses a free and fair election, that he'll start talking about voter fraud."
Blowing straight by the fact that Democrats have been blaming their losses on voter suppression for years and, since 2016, blamed Russian Twitter troll bots for anything that does not go their way, Deutsch said that Geist's prediction was too tame, "I'm taking it to the next level. [Cohen] said he won't leave in a peaceful transition. That's different than saying 'This was unfair.'"
The cast of Morning Joe loves to bash Trump for comments about caravans or say that he does not do enough to condemn terrorist plots to attack journalists and Democratic politicians, but then turn around to outrageously claim the President would be willing to start a civil war to stay in power. Their irresponsibility and hypocrisy truly knows no bounds.
this has been said about every president since Reagan. as well as adding them to mt rushmore. yawn!
Civil War really has become the media trope of the moment, hasn’t it? It does sort of make you wonder why... What amazes me is the propensity of the liberal media to write about this sort of thing as if they won’t be involved, when in fact they’re the principal prosecutors of a still more or less cold war and have been for some time. Deutsch is still talking about somebody else, but the bulls-eye he’s drawing is on himself. That’s going to be a nasty surprise to a lot of media celebrities and academics if the balloon they’re inflating ever does go up.
BTW, not all Rs are soft pencil pushers like me :)
My blue collar friends, you don’t want to mess with them in an angry mood.
I grew up with them and they CAN FIGHT.
Even at 50.
Between crazy southerners with a billion guns, strong as a bull mid westerners and slightly demented ethnic whites up here, we as a conservative force are being sorely underestimated.
ANTIFA et. al. would be massacred.
My post 23 confirms your views.
This media person is a liar. He thinks something so everyone is supposed to believe him. That makes him a useless, arrognt, narcissistic liar.
What a heard of POS’s the liberal media prove themselves to be every day.
Donkey Douche at it again.
And yet its the Deutchs’ of the world that are calling for insurrections.
Donny Douche is an idiot. The loony he should be worried about is Clintoon who still can’t accept the fact she lost the election because the smart half of America has figured out that she’s a lying crook.
If voter fraud in FL and PA illegally put the Dem candidate over the top electorally, the President has EVERY RIGHT to declare a new election and that he is STAYING in power until a new election can be held. I’d say this if the GOP cheated and the incumbent were a Dem.
If the Dems use fraud to flip FL + nine more electoral votes to win the Prez in 2020, there would be justification to begin organizing local militias and begin what would be referred to as Civil War 2.0. Trump would have moral and legal grounds to contest the election and stay in office until the voter fraud was reduced and new election held.
This country is simply TOO BIG at 330 million people. The optimal size is much lower to vent tension.
I’m hoping we get a serious effort to split peacefully over the next 10 years or beyond.
I think we are more likely to see a situation similar to the Spanish Civil War where the Left gets the Presidency and both houses of Congress and starts passing draconian and extreme legislation. This would probably trigger the shooting war.
What would be better is for a Constitutional or Freedom party to rise up as a better barrier against the Globalist/Dem/Leftist axis.
Interesting times are coming unfortunately, but maybe it can be a relatively peaceful divorce and not a bloody mess.
A million died in the Spanish Civil War and if CW2 comes to the USA it will lead to dead possibly in the 10+ million and cause a world-wide economic depression/panic.
The Left is relentless in their pursuit of power and I don’t see anything other than a split in this country’s future.
“Donny Deutsch Says Trump Won’t Leave Peacefully, Capable Of Starting A Civil War”
Okay, okay, okay, back the truck up...In order to have a Civil War you must have an enemy...Donny, are you saying that the snowflakes, the same little snowflakes that are triggered by a MAGA ball cap and must seek shelter in a safe space, the same snowflakes that don’t know which bathroom to use are going to take up arms against Americans...Dude, lay off the $hit you are smoking, it’s making you delusional.
What does he think the EO was for? We all know that there is not going to be a 2020 election, it's been cancelled.
bump
Thanks for the reminder.
What scares them about Trump is that unlike ALL former repub presidents, Trump IMMEDIATELY counter punches hard. This is completely new phenomena and the media can’t handle it.
These morons should just calm down. Trump will be gone before they know it. Trump can’t last an hour past high noon, Jan 20, 2025....just around the corner. It’ll be over in a flash...
We hear this everytime regardless of who is in the White House.....”So and so is not going to leave...yadda yadda yadda”
Never happens.
As an ex boxer, I can say counter punches are the WORST because they catch you off guard.
They never see it coming.
Over and over with Trump. He makes them fools.
And the only thing about my body that resembles a boxer now is I still have fists :)
I recall hearing similar complaints when Reagan was president. Again when Bush was president. Then again when Clinton was president. When Bush II was president, and when Obama was president. There is nothing new in any of this. It all comes around regular as clockwork, from one side or the other.
Rocky Marciano?
As one of “the crazy southerners with a billion guns”(actually a lot less) I’d be willing to so on “special operations” behind enemy lines(I have a few choice targets I’d like to get)
Deutsch would be one of ‘em
But first I’d have to change my Southern accent(grins)
