Reporters Lash Out After White House Plays ‘Edelweiss’
Daily Caller ^ | 04/18/2019 | Mary Margaret Olohan

Reporters set Twitter abuzz when New York Times White House Correspondent Maggie Haberman noted that the White House was playing the song “Edelweiss,” suggesting there was significance to the song that the White House did not understand.

Does…anyone at that White House understand the significance of that song? https://t.co/IK9h8fOwNj

Users quickly commented that Haberman seemed to think Trump was playing a Nazi song in the White House. The song is from Richard Rodgers’ and Oscar Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music” and is played by Captain von Trapp right before the family flees the Nazi occupation of Austria. The fact that the WH phayed a song from an anti-Nazi musical makes Trump a Nazi.

Yes the song was sung as an act of defiance against the Nazis.
What morons.

Convincing your girlfriend that she’s crazy or paranoid is called gaslighting, and it’s a dick move.
Convincing her that she’s a robot with artificially implanted human emotions is called bladerunning, and it’s a Philip K. Dick move.

Operation Edelweiss was the German invasion of the Caucasus Mountains.

See Nazis and Russians. < /s>

Haberman is a few keys short of a chord!

I can’t believe how stupid she is. Oh wait, she’s a leftist lunatic who writes for the New York Times.

As Mr. Spock would say, “Logical. Never mind!”

Singing about the beauty of your homeland while the socialist fascists are trying to take over your country. How apropos.

If that is yours, it's brilliant!

Next POTUS should play Marlene Dietrich’s version of “Lili Marleen.” That will confuse them once again.
