ABC News Calls For 'Cleansing' Of Trump Supporters In Wake Of Capitol Incursion
Western Journal ^ | 1-9-2021 | Kipp Jones

Posted on 01/09/2021 2:05:30 PM PST by blam

As part of the Democratic Party, establishment media and Washington swamp campaign to tear down the legacy of President Donald Trump this week, the political director for ABC News called for a “cleansing” of Trump’s movement.

Rick Klein, who is the rudder on the corrupt ABC News political coverage ship, must have been feeling awfully emboldened Thursday after Democrat Joe Biden was officially certified as the country’s next president. Perhaps a little too emboldened, as is evident by what he said on Twitter.

“Trump will be an ex-president in 13 days. The fact is that getting rid of Trump is the easy part. Cleansing the movement he commands is going to be something else,” Klein said in a tweet, which he later deleted.

Thank the good lord for screen shots.

But this was no mere slip-up of a lone network employee on social media. ABC News published a piece in which Klein echoed his message. His views are apparently shared by others at the legacy media outlet.

Thursday on the website’s political analysis page “The Note,” Klein and Mary Alice Parks, ABC News deputy political director, co-wrote a piece that called for a similar “cleansing” of the Trump movement before it was later stealthily edited to change that vague and dark language, Fox News reported.

Pointing to Wednesday’s Capitol incursion as a reason to use the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office or impeach him, Klein and Parks wrote,

Anything happens to me or my family I promise a payback that will be pointed and thorough. It may not be immediate but I know it will be thorough.

The Tribe who controls the media is getting ready to fire up the “re-education ovens” and march their enemies (us) into them. Ironic, no?

The very call for “Cleansing” is in itself undeniably a
Hitlerian thing to advocate for.

These people really don’t have the brain cells necessary to
avoid these types of mistakes.

“The beauty of things like this...it allows us to build a case (based on their own words) regarding the unprofessional political bias of Legacy Media.”


But of course it will never be allowed to be shown. It will be as if his words were never spoken or recorded.

There are a couple families on our block who fled the former Yugoslavia back in the 1990s. I’ve become friends with one of them (the grandfather, the son and daughter-in-law, and their child). I was speaking with the daughter-in-law this morning, when I was out walking my dog, and what she said was sobering (but not surprising). She said: “We have seen this before. It doesn’t end well.”

Exactly. You can’t hide behind the First Amendment while denying it to the rest of us.

I’m pretty sure we’re living in end times.

The world has gone through it’s cycles.

There’s some pretty sick stuff coming down.

If as I suspect, and it seems clear now that it will be, it
seems to me the military will be against us.

I’m not sure how much longer it will be fruitful for us to
resist.

I’m giving serious thought to moving out of my populated
area.

Some soy boy, metro sexual poof sitting in a studio in NYC is writing checks with his mouth his body could never cash?

Bring that kind of talk to , say, Wyoming or Texas.

Better yet come down my neck of the woods, The New Jersey Pine Barrens. Isolated, trackless pine forest with bogs, quicksand traps and such and let me show you around. I know a few spots. We'll go in together soy boy from ABC.

And I'll guarantee I'll be the only one coming out.

The the best thing at this point is let them talk and talk...We remember as information is readily available to make our own lists.
