CNN Panel Uses NZ Shooting to Compare Trump to White Supremacist, Shooter

Throughout the morning on Friday, CNN repeatedly tied the mosque shooting in New Zealand to President Trump. This type of coverage continued well into the primetime hours; with guests on Anderson Cooper 360 comparing President Trump to a white supremacist as well as the shooter that killed dozens of Muslims in New Zealand.

Reporting from the White House, Jim Acosta talked about how Kellyanne Conway was “urging reporters to read the entire manifesto and that there were parts of the manifesto that said that this killer was an ecoterrorist” before complaining that she was “looking past the language in this manifesto that was describing the President as...sort of a hero to people who identify with their white heritage.”

Acosta continued: “what was also striking, Anderson, in that manifesto, was that the killer was using terms like ‘invaders’ and ‘invasion’ when talking about immigration and the immigration issue; almost the same kind of language that the President was using earlier today when he was vetoing that legislation up on Capitol Hill.”

"...“what was also striking, Anderson, in that manifesto, was that the killer was using terms like ‘invaders’ and ‘invasion’ ..." Oh, reminiscent of Trump calling for killing trespassers on the southern border jimmy boy? I REALLY don't like these people/lying scum bags. No offense to actual lying scum bags.

F*** Acosta and F*** CNN.

They are spreading the EXACT division and discourse that the killer wanted them to.....only they are too dumb to understand that

I wonder if anyone has told these people that reruns of The Donna Reed Show or even Good Times would likely make for more thoughtful, worthwhile TV viewing as opposed to them and their useless observations and worldview in general.

I’ve seen anonymous manifestos by child molesters that hold up Jim Acosta as their hero.

The guy hates Trump, hates the U. S., loves China, and thinks mass murder is progressive.

Exactly how does this relate to Trump on any level?

You’d have to have mental problems to come up with this impression, believe it, and spread the idea.

Nutboy of the week whacks Christians or Jews. Beheads them. Burns them alive = Yeah, whatever.

Nutboy of the week goes after the current protected species = another story altogether.

So now if you describe a large number of illegal aliens crossing our border as "invaders", you are the same kind of person as a supremacist who commits a mass shooting?

Acosta, is a nasty bigot.

I thought the assassination dog whistles from the mocking bird media were bad after the election...They’re taking it to a whole new level.

We’ll be a war soon.

The shooter was completely leftist and subscribed to every American hating “ism” that there is. What the a-hole media is trying to spin is that this POS NZ mass murderer saw President Trump in the eyes of how the media portrays him: white,nationalist,Nazi,jingoistic,Islamophobe etc. He used THEIR language in his “manifesto”. We can easily blame this massacre on the left and the media and let’s not forget that this scum hated President Trump as much as the a-holes in the media.

Reading or watching ANYTHING AT ALL from CNN is like planting your face in a plate of fresh feces. No telling what you could catch from that—stay away!

The only thing surprising about this is that it took them so long to put the panel together. I would have expected an ad hoc panel linking the shooter and Trump to have been formed about five minutes after the first report of the shooting.

And to show their even-handedness in reporting, they would probably open with "At this point, there isn't evidence proving that Donald Trump was the shooter but we have dispatched Christopher Steele to put together a dossier. In the meantime, we have assembled this panel to show that someone who might not have been there could be just as guilty."

He says that when he was young, he was a communist, then an anarchist and finally, a libertarian before coming to be an 'eco-fascist'.

And how ISN'T that CNN's daily staff meeting?

I wonder how they’re going to try to keep the focus away from the fact that somebody brought finally shut up a mosque rather than a church

And it wasn’t in the United States. Very far away actually

It’s more FAKE NEWS from the PATHOLOGICAL LIARS in the Mainstream Media who produce propaganda to support their Marxist/Leftist Ideology.
