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

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.

I feel like a Jew in 1930's Germany.

With the exception that you haven't surrendered your arms. So feel like a Jew in 1930s Germany, who is loaded for baer.

It’s a process called indoctrination, and just like in Nazi Germany the news media and the education systems are the institutions being used by the psychopathic politicians here to get the job done.

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.

It will be harder to “cleanse” because Trump supporters aren’t brain dead idiots who watch CNN for their daily dose of propaganda.

I have a neighbor who would rush into a gas chamber it they told her she wouldn’t get covid in there. She hollered at some man in the groceery store that was old and had his mask under his nose so he could breathe. Gawd she is nuts.

There’s not enough toilet paper to cleanse the Leftist movement in this country.

Not many are familiar with post Civil War Reconstruction or they would be spotting the parallels. This “cleansing” has happened before in American history.

A “cleansing”? The Russian word for “cleansing” is чистка (chistka), which also means “purge.”

You are correct partner that we do not have any more Journalists.

Partner, the MSM is full of "FAKE NEWS" and the journalism is really dead in the whole world, unfortunately.
