'Mark Levin called me a backbencher...'
Posted on 07/18/2019 12:05:34 AM PDT by conservative98
Monday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin jumped into the fray of the most recent Washington, D.C., high drama over President Donald Trump’s tweets about the gaggle of far-Left House freshmen otherwise known as “the squad”: Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, N.Y; Rashida Tlaib, Mich; Ilhan Omar, Minn; and Ayanna Pressley, Mass.
Levin pointed out that there are “a hell of a lot of Americans who are sick and tired of these freshman members of Congress” and the “horrendous things they’ve said about Jews and the horrendous things they’ve said about our country.”
“Their ideology is not garden-variety liberalism; they’re the burn-down-the-country crowd,” the host continued. “Nobody’s talking about their race; they keep talking about their race. The president didn’t mention their race.”
“And it is worth noting that they do hate the very country they live in,” Levin added, discussing Omar and Tlaib. “It’s not a matter of debate on policy and so forth, which is how they try to make it.”
Levin also said that the president didn’t start this fight. “He’s obviously frustrated by this, as president of the United States, as are many of us,” he said.
“I suspect, as a man who loves his country … I suspect he’s had enough of this, that he’s not sitting there analyzing this politically.”
“These are backbenchers who said hateful, outrageous things about their own country,” Levin concluded. “Nobody’s mentioning their color; people are outraged by what they’re saying.”

Levin still needs to pay a price for his treatment of Trump during the 2016 campaign......I appreciate him coming around now, but he has “debts” to pay
99% of everyone here hated Trump before the 2016 campaign. Levin was staying consistent to the way everyone was before.
He came around a long time ago. Educate yourself.
Hate comes in ALL colors. Always has.
Tickets to ride the Trump Train are always on sale.
Yes, I was much disappointed over Levin’s shortsightedness during the campaign.
But this is the absolute worst time for internecine conflicts on the Right.
Let’s leave that to the CommieRATs, and do our best to pour a little kerosene on the flames.
Thanks for the Levin link.
I’m well aware he came around a long time ago. and I’m thankful he did the right thing.
but he lost a LOT of credibility with his INSANE behavior during the campaign. If it was rational criticism, then fine, but it was sheer absurdity.
Mark always says “and so forth.”
it’s a fair enough point to make however I am not the author/host of the 9th most listened to radio program in the country or with the ability to influence millions of potential voters.
you can make a sure bet that there were people who did not vote for Trump in 2016 because of what Levin spewed out. and like I said, it was irrational TDS like spew.
I no longer have the list of Freeper names but they know who they are...and so do I
And BTW, Levin is wrong AGAIN (as he often is), in this case about the following ...
Levin also said that the president didn’t start this fight. “He’s obviously frustrated by this, as president of the United States, as are many of us,” he said.The President isn't frustrated by the Squad of Four, he is delighted by their loud, traitorous behavior. This is secretly how most on the Left feel and believe, but most just have the good sense to keep their mouths shut.
President Trump is very strategically (and with much glee) making the Squad of Four the face of the Democratic Party...just in time for 2020.
It's not about being a hypocrite (in judging folks who changed their minds). It's about the reasons some folks were never Trumpers.
These "reasons" tell us about the character of the never Trumpers and how they think.
There is nothing wrong with remembering how some of these hateful never Trumpers thought and publicly reacted to his--Trump's--campaign. And how they treated those of us who supported Trump early on.
Being a never Trumper can certainly be forgiven. But it doesn't make good sense to forget the way some of these people were...and why they were the way they were.
While the Bible admonishes us to forgive...it doesn't advise us to forget. Once I have been bitten by a certain dog, it is my fault if I put myself in a position to be bitten a second time. That said, I don't fault the dog in question. He was just a biter...some just are.
Not what I am talking about. Go back a few years earlier than that. Trump was going to run in 2012 and nearly everyone here hated Trump and was bashing him.
These woman are using cry bullying to get people to consciously step out of their way so they can consolidate their power over us. I say no!
