Forbes Says It's Targeting Trump Staffers And Their Future Employers
Newsmax ^ | 1-10-2021 | Michael Dorstewitz

Corporate media and the Left aren’t satisfied with merely controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress in less than two weeks. They want revenge.

They also want to punish anyone who worked in the Trump administration and, to a lesser extent, the 45th president’s supporters.

On Thursday, in what was the most recent and possibly the most egregious example, Randall Lane, Forbes’ chief content officer, announced that Forbes Media was “holding those who lied for Trump accountable” in what he called “a truth reckoning.”

Lane claimed that the media group was taking this unprecedented action in response to the mob attack on Capitol Hill late Wednesday afternoon, which resulted in two deaths — a Capitol Police officer and a female U.S. Air Force veteran who was demonstrating that day.

Lane alleged that the president’s “lies-upon-lies, repeated frequently and fervently, provided the kindling, the spark, the gasoline” that led to the attack.

Lane then singles out five senior White House officials, whom he describes as “the people paid by the People to inform the People.”

He named former White House press secretaries Sean Spicer (currently co-host of Newsmax TV’s “Spicer & Co.”), Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Stephanie Grisham, as well as current spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany.

Lane also named Kellyanne Conway, senior counselor to the president.

So what does he propose?

“Simple,” he said. “Don’t let the chronic liars cash in on their dishonesty.”

He observed that previous White House spokesmen have reaped millions in royalties from book deals after they left, adding that “Trump’s liars don’t merit that same golden parachute.”

Acting more like a Mafia don than a media executive, Lane then threatened future employers: “Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.”

All this while Joe Biden and the democrats call for unity! The democrats calls for unity are only to suppress backlash from a fraudulent election. The citizens of this country, when seeing the evidence of democrat cheating, will rebel against this call for unity. Just watch!

Is this the blacklist again?

I’ve already volunteered to be on it.

I don’t know why they had to have a racist name for the list, but whatever.

Isn’t it illegal to harass people like this? Can’t these people being targeted sue if they can prove harm?

Didn't China buy some/all of Forbes a few years ago?

This is the same outfit that always undervalues Trump’s position on the Forbes 400.

Could you imagine what would happen if an employer decided not to hire someone who once worked for Obama?
