CNN, Democrats use El Paso massacre to take cheap shots at Trump
Fox News. com ^ | August 5, 2019 | Todd Starnes

I watch CNN, so my radio show audience does not have to.

That was an act of public service I made to listeners of "The Todd Starnes Show" audience when we launched the program more than two years ago on Fox News Radio.

There’s no reason for anyone to be unnecessarily exposed to the leftist propaganda spewing from the mouths of Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, Anderson Cooper or that stomach-churning morning show.

But I was especially disgusted by their coverage of the El Paso massacre. Americans were slaughtered in Texas by a domestic terrorist. But instead of mourning the dead, CNN welcomed Democrats onto the network to take turns whacking President Trump.

Former Texas Rep. Robert “Beto” Francis O’Rourke appeared on Jake Tapper’s “State of the Union” show Sunday to spread flat-out lies about President Trump.

At one point during the interview, Tapper asked the Democrat presidential candidate if he thought the president was a “white nationalist.”

“Yes, I do,” O’Rourke replied.

“Let's not mince words right now. This president is encouraging greater racism, and not just the racist rhetoric, but the violence that so often follows,” he went on to say.

Tapper did not push back. He did not ask for irrefutable evidence. He simply took O’Rourke’s answer as the gospel truth.

“We have a problem with white nationalist terrorism in the United States of America today,” O’Rourke told CNN.

Trump is “encouraging racism” by never once mentioning anyone’s race or skin color. That’s all being done exclusively by Democrats and the media.

The media foments hate (against conservatives) for ratings, they have blood on their hands. The media stokes up many of these mentally challenged haters and they take action.

Granted these two massacres do outrank a typical weekend In Chicongo, but where?

Where is the outrage about BLACK nationalist terrorism?

“We have a problem with white nationalist terrorism in the United States of America today,” O’Rourke told CNN.”

What is “white nationalist” terrorism? Is it code word for any white guy that is patriotic is a terrorist? Remember the good ole’ days when the mention of a Muslim terrorist deemed you a racist? But don’t base a group on the actions of a few-—right? Black nationalists shooting cops was justified? Church shootings of whites was deemed “evil gun owners”? Yeah-—those were the days...

“CNN, Democrats use El Paso massacre to take cheap shots at Trump”

That’s being redundant. They use every occurrence to take cheap shots at Trump.

The libs/socialists would take a cheap shot at Trump if a worm defecated. And anything they do is cheap. No real surprises here.

Did anyone save the video of Robert O’Rourke smirking about the El Paso shooting?

Think about all of this. Elizabeth Warren really could use something to make herself stand out and above the raucous crowd of craven leftist haters that are the Democrat Presidential candidate field. Yet she has squandered that chance, and shown herself to be no wiser, and displayed no more integrity than the weaker candidates in their fevered desperation.

Anyone would expect the classless reaction and mindless comments Beto O’Rourke spat out this weekend, but Warren was supposed to be at least a bit more intelligent, more circumspect, and certainly more politically savvy than that bumbling clown. She shows nothing that would let her stand out in the mind from this crowded field of fools.

This is shaping up to be a watershed moment, much like the Wellstone Memorial, and the insane anti Kavanaugh debacle that still reeks of fraud and corruption. These people are so consumed with hatred and narcissistic lack of awareness, that they can be counted on to self marginalize themselves, to self destruct politically. How could anyone trust any of these people with the reins of power for our country?

Democrats aren’t any brighter than too many Republicans. Voters find out what’s happening regardless of the propaganda from communist media companies. Politicos and their politicians are foolishly fomenting more violence and should stop poking the population with sticks.

The violence perpetrated by the young bastards was brought to us by the drug and promiscuity paradigm. That is what must be stopped.

I saw that Cavuto did a great job. I was surprised Cavuto came on so strong, maybe he is on the right side after all.
