Bloomberg News reports that the House Judiciary Committee, which is currently led by Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), will seek to investigate Trump calling the media “fake news” and “enemies of the people.”
“The committee will study whether such actions either reflect or blur the Constitution’s separation of powers,” the report states.
The president’s repeated declarations that the “fake news” media is the “enemy of the people” has indeed upset many Democrats and media figures.
Possible 2020 hopeful and media darling Beto O’Rourke used the line to attack Trump and Republicans in 2018, accusing him of inciting violence against the media.
“This idea fronted by the president that somehow the press are the enemy of the people, reinforced by him tweeting out images of a reporter being hit by a train, body slammed in a wrestling ring, it is incitement to violence. I don’t know any other way to call it,” O’Rourke said.
Before the 2018 midterms, Trump doubled down on his attacks against the media, saying that it was not him but reporters and pundits who were fostering violence in America.

President Trump is 100% correct. It is FAKE NEWS that is the problem. And Lying ComDems.
THIS is what they’re reduced to.
Muh Russia: Flop.
Muh Stormy: Flop.
Muh tax returns: Flop.
Just... wow.
And, true to form, their star witness will be Mr “Dear Diary” Acosta.
‘Peach 45 Malt Liquor
If they are listening to his CPAC speech they will lose what little is left of their minds.
Just when you think the Democrats can't top their prior nonsensical narratives, they prove once again their dishonesty and insanity can yet again find new frontiers.
RATS sure do know how to waste time and resources.
It should be must see t.v. when the Republicans get their turn.
I predict another backfire for the derps.
“Separation of powers”...I didn’t realize that the media was a branch of the government. I mean, sure, cnn is a cia op, but...
This is great news! I mean, if all the ‘rats have to worry about is President Trump (correctly IMHO) calling out the fake news media (aka leftist, socialist, fascist propaganda arm)... Then that must mean all the more important issues are handled, right? I guess the ‘rats are done with national security, the debt, homelessness, the environment, all that. Yep, for the ‘rats the thing at the top of their to-do list is hurt Trump, damage the President any way they can, no matter how ridiculous and petty they (the ‘rats) appear in the effort.
They could bring up the networks broadcasting the 911 call from Zimmerman, that the news media had deliberately
altered to make Zimmerman look guilty.
Among a very great number of other things.
WHO THEY FEAR
Leftist Democrats will tell you who & what they fear.
Use it against them.
Democrats fear the phrase, “Fake News”.
Democrats fear the phrase, “Enemy of the Prople”.
The Koch Brothers spread fake news and are the Enemy of the People.
Nancy Pelosi is THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.
That works.
This is just a Nadler ploy to host a Congressional Covered Dish Dinner. Throw him a ham bone and watch him growl at the other committee members
they seem to be saying that the media is a co-equal branch of government
I wonder what Jerry the Hutt wants us to call the fake news “media”. The DNC Department of Propaganda? Too many words.
What the heck are they talking about...what separation of powers? Presidents don’t lose their free speech rights on taking office, and the media are not a branch of our federal government, much as they like to pretend they are.
Past the vocabulary of most ComDems?
smile.
Well, we need to zero in on these vermin.

I want them to fear US and the Truth.
More importantly, I want some of them to go to Jail.
